No, not at all. All three of those things are discussed in the Republican 2016 national platform, which was readopted for the 2020 election and can be found in the following link in its entirety:

I was responding to Post 418 which referred to "women's rights over their body." As disclosed in the link, Trump released his "second-term agenda" on August 23, 2020 (though he never got to pursue it). Trump's agenda (as disclosed in the link) included "Protect unborn life through every means available."
Pp. 13-14 of the 2016-2020 Republican platform says: "The Constitution’s guarantee that no one can “be deprived of life, liberty or property” deliberately echoes the Declaration of Independence’s proclamation that “all” are “endowed by their Creator” with the inalienable right to life. Accordingly, we assert the sanctity of human life and affirm that
the unborn child has a fundamental right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and legislation to make clear that the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections apply to children before birth.
We oppose the use of public funds to perform or promote abortion or to fund organizations, like Planned Parenthood, so long as they provide or refer for elective abortions or sell fetal body parts rather than provide healthcare. We urge all states and Congress to make it a crime to acquire, transfer, or sell fetal tissues from elective abortions for research, and we call on Congress to enact a ban on any sale of fetal body parts. In the meantime, we call on Congress to ban the practice of misleading women on so-called fetal harvesting consent forms, a fact revealed by a 2015 investigation.
We will not fund or subsidize healthcare that includes abortion coverage. We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and the sanctity of innocent human life. We oppose the non-consensual withholding or withdrawal of care or treatment, including food and water, from individuals with disabilities, newborns, the elderly, or the infirm, just as we oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide."
As for gay rights, pp. 31-32 of the 2016/2020 Republican platform says:
-- "Foremost among those institutions is the American family. It is the foundation of civil society, and the cornerstone of the family is natural marriage,
the union of one man and one woman. "
-- "Every child deserves
a married mom and dad. "
-- "Our laws and our government’s regulations should recognize
marriage as the union of one man and one woman and actively promote married family life as the basis of a stable and prosperous society. For that reason, as explained elsewhere in this platform,
we do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial reconsideration or a constitutional amendment returning control over marriage to the states.
Page 40 of the 2016/2020 Republican platform says: "In many jurisdictions, marijuana is virtually legalized despite its illegality under federal law. At the other end of the drug spectrum, heroin use nearly doubled from 2003 to 2013, while deaths from heroin have quadrupled. All this highlights the continuing conflicts and contradictions in public attitudes and public policy toward illegal substances. Congress and a new administration should consider the long-range implications of these trends for public health and safety and prepare to deal with the problematic consequences."
Make what you will of P. 40's discussion of drugs -- I admit it can be read to suggest that Republicans might be a little more receptive to legalization of marijuana than they were previously. But, p. 40 remains vague and ambiguous and, for sure, it doesn't come right out and say the GOP supports legalization of marijuana. To prove me wrong on this point, maybe you can link to some Republican speeches proposing legalization of marijuana.
Have a good day.
