According to a Pew Research poll, 61 percent of 18- to 29-year-old Republicans are in favor of legalizing gay marriage. While younger generations of Republicans seem to be expanding their views on LGBT rights, the politicians currently in office are not.
Per the 2012 Republican platform, the official stance on LGBT rights remains the same: The GOP is still opposed to same-gender marriage, even asking for an amendment in the U.S. Constitution banning its legalization.
