I finally received a reply from Young to the displeasure I expressed via his web site wrt his support for "The Respect for Marriage Act". It's a rather lengthy email which I can summarize as:
1) gay people should be treated with dignity
2) The bill can't and won't be used to undermine the religious liberties of people who oppose gay marriage.
Well. I'm ok with 1). But call an early "********" on 2), reserving the playing of an I Told You So card for the near future.
I'm going to send him a short reply, expressing my disappointment in myself for voting for him in two primaries, assuming then that he represented the conservative values of the majority of his Hoosier constituents. Just as with Trump, my opinions of Young progressed like this:
Supporter-->Defender-->Apologist-->Anybody but in the primary
