celebration of pride month elicited almost no shock or outrage from republicans. don't want to overstate the case, but that's quite a progression from the 2004 presidential election, when george w. bush concept campaigned on a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriage. >> the union of a man and woman deserves an honored place in our society. i support the protection of marriage against activist judges. [applause] that >> banning same sex marriage wasn't as part of the republican party platform. it was the party platform. and it's a progression from even a decade ago, when zach wahls, then a 19-year-old college student spoke about his two mothers as he condemned in iowa bill that aimed to end civil unions in the state. >> i'm not really so different from any of your children. my family isn't so different from yours.
