The GOP is a party, not a person, so it does not take a position. Candidates take positions, and various Republicans will take various positions. Many Republicans will continue to oppose SSM and to argue that they wish no state had legalized it by any means. There will be Portman-esque Republicans who will agree that SSM should be legal, but that it should have been left to each respective state instead of being settled nationwide by the Supreme Court. And there will be Republicans who will be completely supportive of what the Supreme Court did. Then again, there will be some who will, as much as possible, avoid talking about SSM.

This is the only correct answer, IMO.

Even the California GOP platform states that marriage is between one man and one woman.

So I'm gonna go with option 5. They won't talk much about it, but they won't embrace SSM.

Isn't the California GOP actually pretty far-right these days?  I thought they lost a lot of moderats in the 1990s and are now closer to Oregon's and Washington's parties.  Honestly asking, I have no idea.
