After fending off attempts to change the Republican Party’s official position on LGBT issues and traditional marriage, a coalition of social conservatives cautiously celebrated an early victory Monday afternoon.
Before the Grand Old Party picks its presidential nominee formally, a select set of delegates on the platform committee will spend the week staking out Republican positions on everything from domestic to international issues definitively.

I’m glad its in there, I guess, but this is about as useful as teats on a bull. The laws and DOJ lawsuits aren’t going to change based on a Republican Party platform. These types of “victories” are inconsequential.

[Trump has been friendly toward former Olympian and current transgender advocate Caitlyn Jenner—who announced she will speak as a “transgender ambassador” at an event in Cleveland during the convention.]
Counter productive move to Traditional Family Values.
We got pushed hard left the last many years up to today by the means of incrementalism. We can not push back hard to the right in an instant. That would only be realistic in an ideal world. Mr. Trump is most certainly a step back in the right direction.
What event is Jenner speaking at in Cleveland? GOP? Or other? What a circus act he is...
[What event is Jenner speaking at in Cleveland? GOP? Or other? What a circus act he is...]
The posted article is another misleading article about DONALD TRUMP. Jenner will speak at an unofficial off-site event.
The American Unity Fund, a conservative non-profit organization that promotes LGBT rights, will sponsor the gathering, according to a news release. The group advocates for LGBT nondiscrimination legislation, and works to halt legislation that would damage LGBT rights. Conservative activist Montel Williams will also attend the event.

Each state does have its own Platform...they get rolled up to the National.
I am objecting to the way they are trying to dictate morality as a Party instead of holding to the Founder’s vision of a small federal government and the states in control of micromanaging local community standards. They need to get the feds off our necks.
