I found the linked article interesting reading– there may be one GOP presidential candidate that is slightly LGBT friendly. This would be bigger news, except John Kasich doesn’t appear to have any shot at getting the GOP nomination. But does his position tell us anything about at least part of the GOP?

John Kasich, the Republican Governor of Ohio and presidential hopeful, said on Tuesday that the question of gay marriage is settled law and that he would not fight the Supreme Court’s ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide if he were to become president.

Also important is his stance against LGBT discrimination:

If I see discrimination in anything, like I said earlier, I’m willing to do what I can,” Kasich said. “Whether it’s executive order or legislation. That’s fine with me.

Some or all of his position is because he has GLBT friends and has attended a same-sex wedding.

This isn’t a position that will fly with the currently dominating TeaParty wing of the GOP, nor will it sell to the Evangelical wing of the party. But it does suggest that even the GOP can evolve.
