Candidates for RNC chairman reject marriage equality


Each of the candidates running to lead the Republican National Committee say they favor restricting legal marriage to opposite-sex couples. "I don't believe anybody should be denied dignity in this discussion, everyone should be loved. But at the end of the day, I believe that marriage -- through the sanctity of marriage -- should be between one man and one woman," said Reince Priebus, the Wisconsin Republican Party chairman, who is considered a front-runner for the national position. Current RNC Chairman Michael Steele earlier promised the National Organization for Marriage that the GOP would work to stop marriage equality.
