The Republican Unity Coalition (RUC) has always been about one big idea: making homosexuality a "non-issue" for the Republican Party. This year that has been a terrible challenge, but one worth fighting for. Now that the country is embroiled in a debate about "gay marriage", it pains us to see our "non-issue" become THE issue in a heated and divisive debate. However, now that President Bush has endorsed the idea of amending the Constitution of the United States to ban gay marriage, it is even more important that gay and lesbian Republicans, our friends and families unite behind our shared principles. We have articulated these principles in the RUC credo, The Cody Statement (posted elsewhere on this site).
