RNC looks at gay inclusion in the GOP





The GOP plans to look at the LGBT community in order to increase their outreach.

They just released the "Growth and Opportunity Project," a 97-page report that points out their faults with our community and how they will address it.
"For the GOP to appeal to younger voters, we do not have to agree on every issue, but we do need to make sure young people do not see the Party as totally intolerant of alternative points of view," the report states. "Already, there is a generational difference within the conservative movement about issues involving the treatment and the rights of gays — and for many younger voters, these issues are a gateway into whether the Party is a place they want to be."
"If our Party is not welcoming and inclusive, young people and increasingly other voters will continue to tune us out," the report continues, adding that disagreement over 20 percent of the issues should not mean the party cannot come together on the other issues. Polling has consistently shown nearly half of conservatives younger than 30 support marriage equality.
The report comes after RNC Chairman Reince Priebus announced the creation of the project to examine the GOP's electoral woes in December 2012. Tasked with putting forward recommendations in a number of key areas necessary for winning elections, the co-chairs of the project made contact with more than 52,000 people through a series of polls and focus groups.
Interesting, but will this work with most of their current views against us?
