Around the 2004 Presidential Election, gay marriage became legal in Massachusetts, which turned a lot of heads, as Massachusetts is a southern state.
However, Bush's party pushed to get same-sex marriage on the ballots in a lot of Republican states not because they wanted it to be passed, but because they knew that it was an issue that Republicans felt very strongly about, and would get out and vote against it.
In the process, while standing at the ballot, they would potentially vote for Bush. In this way, Bush was able to get a lot of votes that he wouldn't have otherwise because people were too lazy to get out and vote.
