LINK Texas GOP's New Platform Calls Homosexuality 'Abnormal'
The Republican Party of Texas adopted a platform that included explicitly anti-LGBTQ ideology at its biennial convention on Saturday.
The new 40-page platform contains a "Homosexuality and Gender Issues" section that describes being gay as "an abnormal lifestyle choice."
It calls for a policy of fighting against special status for members of the LGBTQ communities and protection against criminal or civil penalties for those who oppose homosexuality out of "faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values."
There is no federal law that protects LGBTQ individuals from discrimination or grants them special status.

We have to vote! And...the Dems. have two years to make plans & combat this illegal shit!
@LucyLoohoo I always vote, but Dems had 2 years and passed not one single thing of what was promised, and because of Manchin and Sinema doing as they please without any consequence, Biden has not done anything to punish/entice these two idiots, nothing, zero, and unfortunately I don't think this will change.
@Mofo1953 Maybe....maybe not. I have to be optimistic, Mofo. Without optimism...the bad guys win.
@LucyLoohoo unfortunately they also win despite our optimism.
@Mofo1953 Not always! And, with an increase in voting...things can change.
@LucyLoohoo as I said, I am skeptical.
And we'll see a swarm of good people leaving Texas! This is infuriating! DAMN their ''faith, conviction or belief in traditional values."
