Texas House Votes to Honor LGBTQ Advocacy Groups

Texas Scorecard ^ | 3/8/23 | Brandon Waltens

It amazes me that the most immoral group succeeds in coming across as the most moral.

The parents who show up at school-board meetings and read the rainbow garbage that these people attempt to foist on our children have discovered a way to rip the mask off. If only our Republican legislators were as brave.

The vote for this was NOT unanimous. Fifty-six Republicans voted NO. This blogger got his facts wrong.

56 Republicans voted NO. The blogger lied.

Actually the 56 Republicans voiced their opposition after voting to pass the resolution. Please see the following as reported by Texas Scorecard on March 14:

Last week, the House unanimously voted for a package of nearly 200 resolutions that included a retroactive commemoration of Feb 14, 2023, as LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce Day at the Texas Capitol.

After voting to approve the bills, 56 members later stated their opposition to the resolution in journal statements—a way of stating opposition to the item without actually voting against it or affecting its passage.

Texas Scorecard is a reliable source, not a blog. Regards

I contacted my Rep and was given a list of 56 who voted NO, including her, so I will believe what a first hand person tells me.
