Perhaps most troubling, we Texans will now miss out on the cultural diversity that comes from events such as the recent Gay Pride Week parade in Boston.

Sigh, that is a goddamn ugly pic but I do prefer my conservatism on the libertarian side. Glad I don’t live in Texas I guess.

The stupid party strikes again, of all the other things to tackle.

Funny, I’m not seeing ANYTHING at all on the Texas Republican party website that supports what the author is stating.

Literally, there is NOTHING that shows up on my browser.

Sounds like BS to me. Someone is astro-turfing the Texas GOP. They have no mention of such nonsense as outlawing strip clubs on their website.

Muslim named Aliyah Shahid trashes conservative Christians. Big surprise.

Now watch the libs’ heads explode over this- then they will know how WE FEEL when they try to cram their agenda through

[freekitty]

These are lies.

I just sent a link to this hit piece to info@texasgop.org. Let’s see if they smack this little fool down.

OK, according to the article this is a proposed platform, not one the Texas GOP's adopted. As such, it could have been proposed by, say, Fred Phelps and have zero support within the party. The article is, to be kind, premature.

This is ridiculous nonsense just to rile people up by playing into the “Republicans are anti-sex” stereotype.

The Texas GOP is not in favor of outlawing strip clubs, pornography and/or specific sexual acts between consenting adults. Good grief ... most Republican lawmakers are married and thus participate in those specific sex acts with regularity.

Houston is pretty much the most strip-club heavy city this side of Las Vegas. There are porn shops all over the place.

Conservatives, generally speaking, don’t care what you do in your bedroom ...

When you get past the cleaned-up for television/movie/MSM facade of the sodomite lifestyle, this is what we are in the process of normalizing.

I contacted the Texas GOP officials and asked if they have, or have made, any response to the article in the New York Daily News. If they let me know what that response is, I will pass it on, here in this thread later.

“Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy, outlaw strip clubs and pornography”

If that is what the GOP voters of Texas want, then I fail to see why this is news.

The document the Mooselimb author found is apparently this PDF, found on texastribune.org. When I went there to see what it's about, it attempted to steal my Google password by means of an IFRAME hack.

In addition, the platform says that homosexuality “tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.”

Something like this hasn't been said in such a long time, I was absolutely stunned to read it. And I mean this in the best way possible. Society has been cowed by the liberal anarchists for so long, we no longer know how to fight back.

I hope they put everything they've got behind this statement.
