Remember, the far religious right is the base of the R party and they want gay people in jail (see Lawrence v. Texas) - much less their unions or them recognized in any way by the govt.

But yet California, what most people would classify as a liberal state and heavily Democrat, has itself denied gay marriage rights, both by the vote of the people and its' Supreme Court. ???
