The state Republican Party’s central committee will meet Saturday to consider firing chairman Pat Brady, largely because he spoke out in favor of a bill to end Illinois’ ban on gay marriage.

‘‘This issue is not about me. It’s about the direction of the party going forward,’’ Brady said. ‘‘It just plays into a national narrative of the GOP as closed-minded.’’

This guy gets it. In order for the Republican party to survive and be viable, its going to have to change its tune when it comes to social issues.
