The problem with a lot of the Christian conservatives in the GOP is they were neither. They were uniparty establishment all the way. The fact is, Trump has done more for Christian conservatives than all the christian conservative establishment politicians in my lifetime. Trump's presidency put a lie to what I had heard so often in GOP circles, that is, "if we only got rid of all these Christians, and focused on economics, we'd win every election" and that was the start of the GOP establishment's betrayal. I don't like the word marriage for same sex unions and would prefer everything of that nature (including heterosexual legal marriages) be called civil unions but we are where we are. That being said, my concern about legalizing it had nothing to do with denying LGBTQIA+ rights. It had entirely to do with the way I thought LGBTQIA+ activists would seek out Christians who disagreed and try to hurt them any way they could and immediately move into schools to push an agenda. Oh and I was right by the way. LGBTQIA+ activists went on a lawsuit spree targeting as many Christians as they could and dissenting from transgender gender queer ideology in any public space including schools, has become an anathema. So don't give any of this "oh Christians are so mean to us" (I am not denying that some christians are total jerks), but the problem is most certainly the other way around and has been for a while now.
