He's a/the strategic advisor to the GOP
There are thousands of those, so what?
No, you misquoted me. I said he is THE (with a capital "T") Advisor to the GOP. He is the final word above all other words.
Kasich being "for" gay marriage? No no no. Let's clear up his position and voting history:
John Kasich: Opposed Marriage Equality, Same-Sex Adoption...During his time in Congress and as Governor of Ohio, John Kasich has opposed marriage equality, basic domestic and partner benefits for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) couples. His record on non-discrimination is decidedly mixed.
Marriage : Kasich said that he did not support the LGBT “lifestyle.” He opposed efforts to grant basic domestic partner benefits, voted for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and said that he supported Ohio’s ban on same-sex marriage.

What he also said at the same time is that a person's sexual orientation shouldn't get them bullied in school He supported anti-bullying techniques and mandated them in Ohio schools.
In the recent debates he smoothed over his actual positions on gay marriage. He, like so many other stupidly-informed conservatives, believed the LGBT mantra "It's a done deal". It isn't. Far from it. So he wrongfully assumed that to get more votes he had to pander to that team of oxen in a very tiny control room, yanking the political center so far left that it's almost off the edge of a cliff. And who is one of the drivers of that myth? Dick Cheney. Mary Cheney, his daughter, is a lesbian who wanted to marry her girlfriend. And you know Dick would spare no efforts to make sure his daughters get everything they want..
...even if it means the existential end of the republican party... No love lost for him really. His roots really aren't in the GOP anyway. They're in power and money and family....and dodging the draft 5 times...and being raised by democrats...his wife also raised by democrats...
Letting Dick have the last word on advising the GOP is like letting a bull RINO in your china closet..
