The secular humanists have convinced many people that the Bible is "repressive" and the sexual revolution is naturally right. But without modern medicine, it wouldn't be possible to avoid so many of the consequences of a sexually libertine society.
And now in the case of the secular humanists pushing for the acceptance of people who want to be accepted as the opposite sex, they again ignore nature in that someone is physiologically one sex or the other (unless they are actually intersex). That means there are a great many differences throughout the body, and in how the body functions, not just in the sexual organs. Men have larger muscles, hearts and lungs than women, just for one example, and there are many, many more. Surgery and hormones don't change that, but only interfere with the person's actual physical nature.
Pssssst. Hey, RINOs. You can’t out-Democrat the Democrats. How about offering the people a clear choice: pro-homo or anti-homo? Let THEM decide, instead of your buddies on the salon circuit.
From the article:
“Jim Bopp Jr., a conservative Indiana delegate on the platform, said the old platform language on same-sex marriage is no longer appropriate since last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling that allowed same-sex couples to marry nationwide.
“This won’t change the core of the issue, Bopp told CBS News. He also said that adopting friendlier language toward gays and lesbians should not be perceived as a major concession by conservatives.”
Not what God has in mind. They need to check the Bible.
Oh yeah - that’ll stop this nation from crumbling apart. :)
And they wonder why people no longer trust the GOPe.
Yup. Everyday the GOPe never stops amazing me in how they want to be the Dem Party AAA affiliate.
Why don’t they just adopt the DemocRat platform and stop pussyfooting around?
I'm not very familiar with any of these people. Are they committed Christians? And what about the "LGBT" lobby and withstanding it?
Really. What can they do to look more like Rats?
It’s CRAP like this that is the reason for Trump.

Mitt Romney ran well to the left of Ted Kennedy in 1994. It may have helped him later win the Massachusetts governorship, but it also probably ensured that he would never be president.
Remember the Art of the Deal. You don’t open by lowering your position. You open with a higher demand so you can later get what you want.
It wont please anyone. Libs will say not enough, conservatives will say its a futile effort as it obviously wont do anything to get more votes and just piss,off the conservative base.
So of course they will do it. They are idiots.
If the GOP caves to the depraved homo lobby and jettisons support for marriage, the whole Party can go die in flames for all I care. Not that it would surprise me at this point.
Bopp has been the lead attorney for National Right to Life for decades. Their failed immoral, unconstitutional “and then you can kill the baby” regulatory strategy is in large degree attributable to him.
Four years ago, he was put in charge of the pro-life plank in the GOP platform. They didn’t touch the Declarationist, Fourteenth Amendment personhood Reagan plank, but they included a long list of regulatory exceptions that contradict the Reagan plank.
So, I’m not surprised to see him take the next big step into the abyss.
With all due respect to Mr. Bopp, he is evidently a low-information conservative delegate who doesn’t understand that 10th Amendment-protected state powers trump politically correct “rights.”
Note that the amendments in the Bill of Rights (BoR) which expressly protect specific rights were ratified to the Constitution by the states, not the Supreme Court. So in order for gay marriage to become a constitutional right like the rights protected by the BoR, the states would likewise have to ratify an amendment expressly protecting gay “marriage.” But the states have never done so.
Also, the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment (10A) to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage means that such issues are automatically and uniquely up to the individual states to decide, not the feds.
But the honest interpretation of the Constitution evidently wasn’t enough to stop pro-gay, state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices from stealing 10A state powers, and use those powers to wrongly legislate the political correct “right” to gay “marriage” from the bench, just as activist justices had previously done with the fictitious constitutional “right” to have an abortion.
Cowards!
After Obergefell there shouldn’t be a platform plank on gay marriage unless it’s for a federal marriage amendment. It’s continued existence will just be an opportunity for bickering with no actual action indicated by the plank.
At this juncture, it’s pretty much a non-issue except to not alienate those who really need to be open to the Word......it’s not our job to ‘cast them into Hell” so why not try to talk the Word with them and lead by example? God will sort it out in the end and Jesus spent more time with those who were in the most need of hearing His message.....
