Gay RNC member says he voted against GOP marriage resolution: 'It just wasn't very vocal'

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – Fri, Apr 12, 2013

LOS ANGELES—When the National Republican Party took a voice vote to approve a resolution reasserting the party's opposition to same sex marriage, Robert Kabel, a gay committeeman from the District of Columbia who supports allowing same sex nuptials, didn't speak up. At least not loud enough for anyone to hear him.

Immediately after the vote at RNC's quarterly meeting here Friday, Chairman Reince Priebus declared that all 157 members present had supported the measure.

But despite the tally, which officially recorded the vote as unanimous, Kabel insists he dissented.

"I voted against the resolution. I did, it just wasn't very vocal," Kabel said after the meeting. "It's hard to hear in here."

1. Mumbling an objection in the hope the bullies won't notice

is not quite the same thing as objecting to their bullying.

Close but no cigar. Not this time.
