College Republicans tell party to open up on marriage equality

A new report from the College Republican National Committee identifies GOP opposition to marriage equality as a key reason the party is losing the youth vote

"[W]e will face serious difficulty so long as the issue of gay marriage remains on the table," the report said, urging the party to "promote the diversity of thought within its ranks" on the issue. About a quarter of respondents in a survey of young voters said they couldn't vote for a candidate who didn't support allowing same-sex couples to marry.
