Gay marriage: Support.
Abortion: Support for the first trimester.
Legalized gambling: Support.
Prostitution: Support.
Prayer in school: Oppose if organized and led by school officials.  Support if private.
School uniforms: No reason for the government to get involved here.
Drug legalization: See Alcon's answer.
Gun control: Oppose (within reason; I would prefer citizens not be able to buy tanks, fighter jets, and nuclear weapons).
Affirmative action: Oppose.
Speed limits: Support.
Death penalty: Oppose.
Mandatory minimum sentencing: Support, in general.  The problem lies in what the minimum sentences are, not in the idea of minimum sentencing itself.

gay marriage? Support, but would prefer to get the government out of marriage entirely.  Civil unions for all that carry the legal benefits of marriage, and leave the religious aspects of things up to a purely ceremonial event that serves only as a romantic pledge.

abortion? Support its legality in the first trimester.

legalized gambling? Support.  Gambling is stupid, but hey, your money.

prostitution? Support its legality.  If it was legal and regulated, it would be much safer both for, ahem... clients and for employees.

prayer in school? Support if student-led, oppose if teacher- or administration-led.

school uniforms? Honestly?  Couldn't care less.  Whatever.

drug legalization? Support for the softer drugs such as marijuana.

gun control? Support, I guess, within reason.

affirmative action? Oppose.

speed limits? Uh, support.  How can you oppose speed limits in all cases?

death penalty? Support in cases of rock-solid evidence being present in trials involving the purposeful and planned killing of other human beings, oppose anywhere else.

mandatory minimum sentencing? Oppose.  Mandatory minimum sentencing has lead to a lot of ridiculous sentences (not that the opposite hasn't done the same, but still).
