Clearly Sen. Rand Paul is attempting to get his ducks in a row for a 2016 presidential run. Note his statement here softening his position on gay marriage to Vocativ:
"I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues.
"The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.
"On issues that are very contentious, that involve social mores — I think that allowing different parts of the country to make their decision based on the local mores and culture is a good idea.
"But when it comes to taxes and benefits, the [federal] government ought to take a neutral position — a way where marriage wouldn’t have an effect, positive or negative, on those things."
And the far right-wing is already mad...

If I cared what he or Bryan Fisher said, but I don't so who care what they think? No me!
