The Democratic Unionist Party is confined to Northern Ireland, and is a right-wing party that wishes Northern Ireland to remain a part of the UK. Most of it's members are traditionalist Anglicans or Presbyterians, who would not support same-sex marriage.
Yes, the Green Party supports same-sex marriage.
Yes. On September 1, 2012, party leader David Ford announced that the party has voted to support the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Fianna Fail at their ard-fheis (annual meeting) passed two motions, one to support full Same-Sex Marriage and another to support full adoption rights for gay and lesbian couples. Before his speech to the party, Michael Martin, the Fianna Fail leader told RTE news that in the Constitutional Convention due in the Spring of 2012 he will be supporting both motions passed by the party. Any political party will support or oppose any agenda if they believe that stance will enhance their popularity. Whether they believe in it or not. That is a truism of all political parties.
Political analysts "infer" that Republican presidential candidate Andy Martin is opposed to same-sex marriage.
Senator Lee has refused to answer publicly questions concerning his position on same-sex marriage, silence which some political analysts infer as unspoken support for marriage equality by the Senator from Utah where 42% of residents polled support gay marriage.
No. Supporting same-sex marriage is a political decision unrelated to one's sexual orientation. It is possible to support women's rights without being a woman. It is possible to support immigrant rights without being an immigrant. Likewise, supporting same-sex marriage does not mean you yourself are gay.
About the same as I think of her husbands erudition and political speeches. Nothing much really.
There are petitions around for support of gay marriage if you can find one you can sign it. You can also vote for candidates and political parties that publicly support same-sex marriage. You can make donations to the campaigns of pro-marriage equality candidates. You can write letters to your state and federal lawmakers letting them know that the issue is important to you. You can speak to your friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers concerning the issue and thereby raise public awareness.
