It seems to me that if the Family Research Council, the American Family Association and Focus on the Family put some effort into it, they could probably get a bill ensuring paid maternity leave for working Americans. That and maybe working on our shocking infant mortality rate would help a lot more actual families than hating gay people.Fundie Gary Bauer provides the answer:
Does anyone know why this has not happened? It seems kind of obvious to me. Maybe it never comes up at their board meetings.
“If we gave our voters an accurate portrayal of our ideas, that we want to cut the rate of growth on Social Security, give tax cuts to billionaires and then the values issues, the values issues would be more popular than the economic agenda of the current Republican Party,” said Bauer, citing particularly those Mass-attending Roman Catholics who have fled the Democrats.

"On foreign policy issues, Bauer supports strong ties with Israel, would not trade with China until the country improves its human rights record, and supported full funding for the Iraq War. Bauer believes that America should advance and protect freedom worldwide and "bring the message of freedom to the Arab world".[10]"
Bauer is still way more part of the problem than the solution.
Oh sure - but Bauer doesn't give a fuck about social justice
