I'd imagine his time is about the same as YOURS, a no life TROLL who showed up so late at night and on LPSG to bitch about his THREAD.
The GOP never STOPPED going after gay marriage. Hell, their INTENT is THERE, in their 2016 PLATFORM, in black and white and clear as DAY:
pg. 31, "Marriage, Family, and Society"
"Foremost among those institutions is the American family. It is the foundation of civil society,and the cornerstone of the family is natural marriage, the union of one man and one woman..."
"The data and the facts lead to an inescapable conclusion: Every child deserves a married mom and dad..."
"Our laws and our government’s regulations should recognize marriage as the union of one man
and one woman and actively promote married family life as the basis of a stable and prosperous society."
"For that reason, as explained elsewhere in this platform, we do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial reconsideration or a constitutional amendment returning control over marriage to the states."
"We oppose government discrimination against businesses or entities which decline to sell items or services to individuals for activities that go against their religious views about such activities."
"We support measures such as the First Amendment Defense Act to ensure these entities do not face government discrimination because of their views on marriage and family."

It's sickening that this is still an issue.

Sickening indeed. We're asked to "get over it" yet they never get over some minority's group(sexual, religious, racial) progress. Decades later they're still hard at work to roll back any and all "progress". Prime example the right to vote and the Civil Rights era which they have systematically sought to reduce and marginalize and eventually eliminate and have been pretty darn successful.
More importantly how little is going on in your life you have time to read it and respond?

Just like abortion, they will go for it again and again and again. As long as the penalty for doing it is nil while the upside is good.
I think your thread title is a bit misleading. While the GOP in Texas might be wasting their time pursuing this, the GOP where I live and our Republican governor are not.

It's still revealing, and more than a little scary, that a major political party would openly proclaim this as their platform--apparently without any significant pushback within their own ranks.
It's always seemed to me that the people who serve on the platform committees tend to be the extremists as far as party ideology goes. In the GOP you have the clowns who put crap like this in the platform, and the Democrats drop "rare" from safe and legal in their advocacy for abortion. I don't think such views represent the majority views of either the nation or within the party.

Well, for STARTERS, there's Trump's v.p. pick, Mike Pence, a believer in "gay conversion therapy," and Trump has already reversed the transgender bathroom directive, AND there's Trump's anti-gay cabinet picks:
Trump's Antigay Cabinet and LGBTQ Rights | The Huffington Post
Trump’s Cabinet a who’s who of homophobia - The Boston Globe
So arguments as to how they won't be following their party platform and pursuing an anti-gay agenda amount to so much BULLSHIT... imo.
Additionally Trump has promised to appoint a Supreme Court pick that will reverse Roe vs. Wade. Expect as soon as his pick is on the Court and particularly if he gets another pick some "pro-fetus" state will enact a law they hope lands in the Court to finally undo a woman's right to choose.
How Trump’s Supreme Court Could Overturn Roe v. Wade Without Overturning It
Oh you're "pro-fetus"? Welcome to the land of hipocrasy. It's always nice to entertain your presence.
