Just because a party that doesn't cater to LBGTQABCXYZ lunacy doesn't make it "broken."

My 1st ever GOP Convention! Over 7,000 delegates and guest ascended on Houston bringing $$$ millions to the economy.
Texas GOP is the largest convention in the states of both parties including the national conventions.

---

And no gays! Really went out of their way this weekend re: the log cabin republicans and new written platforms.

I don't want to see a single Republican poster tell me GOP is totally great for gay people ever again on here.

Good lawd, do you have anything to offer threads without proclaiming your gay? Most conservatives DGAF, just imagine how much you'll learn when you realize that.

---

They don't? Texas GOP platform says otherwise. Imagine how much you'll learn when you realize your party is blowing it again on so many issues which are losers if priorities most voters actually care about are economy, national security, etc.

My post is 100% on topic for a disaster of a convention. Being gay is a problem for Texas Republicans which makes my post relevant, if not then why make a platform about it and block log cabin republicans? This wasn't a platform about grooming of children, it's about gay people overall.

---

The convention was far from a disaster. Should they have had anti-gar planks? No. I voted against them. We need to focus on getting our cou try back. But there is a LOT of great stuff in there that will still make everyone's, including gays lives better.

Don't be a single issue voter. There is so much more going on.

---

This. People are commenting on the report of the platform committee, but the true platform isn't known yet. Delegates voted for each plank and those votes haven't been tallied yet, they will be later this week.

---

All people, including the gays, are far worse off right now with the democrats in charge.

---

Yeah, things aren't great overall (I'm fine, don't you worry).

That being said, purpose of politics is still to get the most votes? As another posted said above, not a great showing for GOP (a point of view stated by many republicans themselves, including Donny Jr).

---

I for one don't agree with not including them. I welcome them everywhere, church, etc. I don't agree with their lifestyle choice, but I'm not their judge and I think we need to focus on what we agree on politically. I think the majority feel the same way, and given how awful Democrats' policies are for absolutely everything, you're a fool to vote for them just because they pat you on the head and act like they actually give a ***** They don't. All they care about is your vote.

---

I should totally vote for a party that doesn't think I should have a seat at the table.

---

What are you talking about? There are gay delegates at our table in our SD. They can see there are issues other than the one single issue you're hyper focused on.

---

Good for them. Can't imagine staying where I'm clearly not wanted or be that self-loathing that I'd stay. Fix your party.

---

Do you think we tied them to their chairs? They stayed because they wanted to and felt welcomed.

One can ignore all the anti-LGBT stuff in the GOP platform, and the entire platform is still as extreme and BSC as can be. Taking an official stance that Biden wasn't legitimately elected, calling for Texas secession, treating a fertilized egg as a fully formed human.

There are some positions that are innocuous and reasonable, like repeal of blue laws and term limits. But there is no denying that the platform as a whole is as far right and extreme as it gets. If you're ok with that, then fine.

Extreme times call for extreme measures. Hear me on this: If we don't have free and fair elections, then we have taxation without representation. This is no longer America. It's a Marxist regime. The 2020 election was stolen and it needed to be called out for what it was. Texas should have no part a Marxist regime.

Based on the platform they voted on, we desperately need a real third party in the middle. Hope y'all like Beto because this is how you get Beto.

Nah.... we don't need a 'middle' party. No more compromise. FIGHT THE LEFT AT EVERY POSSIBLE FRONT THROUGH THE POLITICAL PROCESS.

The entire GOP, Donald Trump included, knows the 2020 election was not stolen. Donald Trump knows he lost and lied about it because he's prideful. And millions of people, the TXGOP included, were conned by him.

Absolutely insane that it's an official party stance. or maybe it isn't. Nothing really feels insane anymore after the Trump presidency.

Killing babies, supporting any sodomy at all in our society, grooming children, confiscatory taxation, stripping the right to own guns from the populace, and calling for an end of free speech is EXTREME .... but neither of you two would say that.......

The more extreme the left gets, the more extreme reaction you will get from the right populist. Face it -- you are going to LOSE. We are fighting for our families, our faith, and our Constitution. We will win. No matter the costs and no matter how much it offends you.

Move to California if you don't like it.

For sure in 2022/2024 things don't look good for Dems.

I suspect as time passes this nagging issue in Republican Party will take care of itself as demographics change, but in the meantime things will be uncomfortable.

I'm not moving to California, you move to Alabama or some red state haven. Texas isn't nearly as Republican as you think and shenanigans like this weekend will bring that to light much faster.

There was a large contingent of delegates who are formerly gay who are hell bent hell bound on preventing log cabins and other lgbt of having a platform.

One of these delegates in one of the pictures that I posted the guy wearing don't blame me I voted for Trump shirt his name is Kevin Whitt former trans until he found Christ and turned his life around and away from that filth.

I am moving to Alabama! Thank you for your encouragement. But I love my family in Texas and will advocate for them here!

Demographics are moving against you now. Losing the Hispanic vote PLUS the fact that leftists are NOT having kids starting with the millennials. We are taking over school boards and ending your domination of academia while the rise of homeschooling and private schooling is preventing the left wing groomers from indoctrinating our kids into participating in or co-opting perversion.

You lefties/commies are not having enough kids, and that is why you needed the education system to pry enough of our kids from traditionalism and faith..... We are taking that from you slowly but surely.

You are going to lose dude. And TX is lost to the Dems for another 3-4 election cycles at a minimum.

Does California sound better to you yet?

You might want to edit that.

I don't think you understood my post. Republicans aren't going anywhere, but every year the base that supports platforms like the one we're discussing get older and the amount of people who identify as Christian decreases.

There was a large contingent of delegates who are formerly gay who are hell bent hell bound on preventing log cabins and other lgbt of having a platform.

One of these delegates in one of the pictures that I posted the guy wearing don't blame me I voted for Trump shirt his name is Kevin Whitt former trans until he found Christ and turned his life around and away from that filth.

---

Maybe you didn't go far enough, should have added a plank for support of conversion therapy, really made a splash.

(Former gays? Give me a break…)

The attacks on marginalized groups don't surprise me. It's the GOP's swift degeneration into an openly anti-military/anti-veteran party that took me by surprise.

And this turn will prove a huge mistake on the GOP's part.

---

The Texas Convention has turned into being represented by a far right, vocal minority who are making the GOP look like a joke. The booing of Cornyn and the willingness to continue to support Trumps ego will split the party. Whether you call the CMs, RINOS, Never Trumpers or whatever, it's a huge contingent that historically voted Republican. As much as the left has gone nuts with all of the vocal social liberalism, the solution for some is to take the GOP to a polar opposite direction and include all of the nut jobs. I can detest the left and their policies and still not be thrilled with the direction some in the GOP prefer to take the country. There is a reason why the pendulum should fall back toward the center…(hopefully right of center, but not too far and definitely not left). People laugh and claim people are idiots by voting with emotion..But both parties are playing on each groups emotions to push agendas. They don't want people to think critically about voting options. They prefer to get voters to react based on emotion bc then they have more control. Those who feel disenfranchised by their parties still vote

My 1st ever GOP Convention! Over 7,000 delegates and guest ascended on Houston bringing $$$ millions to the economy.
Texas GOP is the largest convention in the states of both parties including the national conventions.

---

And no gays! Really went out of their way this weekend re: the log cabin republicans and new written platforms.

I don't want to see a single Republican poster tell me GOP is totally great for gay people ever again on here.

Good lawd, do you have anything to offer threads without proclaiming your gay? Most conservatives DGAF, just imagine how much you'll learn when you realize that.

---

They don't? Texas GOP platform says otherwise. Imagine how much you'll learn when you realize your party is blowing it again on so many issues which are losers if priorities most voters actually care about are economy, national security, etc.

My post is 100% on topic for a disaster of a convention. Being gay is a problem for Texas Republicans which makes my post relevant, if not then why make a platform about it and block log cabin republicans? This wasn't a platform about grooming of children, it's about gay people overall.

---

The convention was far from a disaster. Should they have had anti-gar planks? No. I voted against them. We need to focus on getting our cou try back. But there is a LOT of great stuff in there that will still make everyone's, including gays lives better.

Don't be a single issue voter. There is so much more going on.

---

One can ignore all the anti-LGBT stuff in the GOP platform, and the entire platform is still as extreme and BSC as can be. Taking an official stance that Biden wasn't legitimately elected, calling for Texas secession, treating a fertilized egg as a fully formed human.

There are some positions that are innocuous and reasonable, like repeal of blue laws and term limits. But there is no denying that the platform as a whole is as far right and extreme as it gets. If you're ok with that, then fine.

---

I agree and have referenced this in my earlier posts, there was plenty of negative press about the meeting.

---

Killing babies, supporting any sodomy at all in our society, grooming children, confiscatory taxation, stripping the right to own guns from the populace, and calling for an end of free speech is EXTREME .... but neither of you two would say that.......

The more extreme the left gets, the more extreme reaction you will get from the right populist. Face it -- you are going to LOSE. We are fighting for our families, our faith, and our Constitution. We will win. No matter the costs and no matter how much it offends you.

Move to California if you don't like it.

---

For sure in 2022/2024 things don't look good for Dems.

I suspect as time passes this nagging issue in Republican Party will take care of itself as demographics change, but in the meantime things will be uncomfortable.

I'm not moving to California, you move to Alabama or some red state haven. Texas isn't nearly as Republican as you think and shenanigans like this weekend will bring that to light much faster.

---

Rs are set for a big wave in 2022, no denying that. When we're dealing with high gas prices and inflation, people blame the party in power. Also the historical trend of the party in power losing in the first midterms.

Over time the GOP will continue to shrink. The party isn't just a Trump cult. It's a group of people that becomes more and more extreme and hateful with each passing day. If you aren't as far right as the mainstream on any issue, you're an America-hating communist. Zero room for disagreement. At this point the group is a bunch of small-minded people angry that their ideology is dying off. There's a reason younger voters identify less and less with the party. Because the party now just caters to the old, ultra-traditional, ultra-religious, and most extremist members.

This is all so far beyond mere economic and fiscal issues at this point. Most normal conservatives don't care so much about homosexuality. Most Texans don't want to secede. Most conservatives want to move on from past elections. This is extreme stuff and should be treated as such.

I am moving to Alabama! Thank you for your encouragement. But I love my family in Texas and will advocate for them here!

Demographics are moving against you now. Losing the Hispanic vote PLUS the fact that leftists are NOT having kids starting with the millennials. We are taking over school boards and ending your domination of academia while the rise of homeschooling and private schooling is preventing the left wing groomers from indoctrinating our kids into participating in or co-opting perversion.

You lefties/commies are not having enough kids, and that is why you needed the education system to pry enough of our kids from traditionalism and faith..... We are taking that from you slowly but surely.

You are going to lose dude. And TX is lost to the Dems for another 3-4 election cycles at a minimum.

Does California sound better to you yet?

The greatest recruitment tool for a return to traditional Christianity and the propagation of large nuclear Christian families has been the Left's massive overreach.

It's happening. Tx-34 proving it. November will prove it more. 2024 will show you even more.

I quote, AGAIN, because this can be said about your party that rioted, wants to kill members of the Supreme Court, and loves killing babies.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. You should be disbarred for being such a blatant hypocrite. How did you pass the ethics exam?

The secession stuff is embarrassing, hard to take anything that comes out of this convention seriously.

THIS!

And I'm a ruthless conservative.

My mom and sister used to go to those things for 10 to 15 years. I went 2 or 3 times, and the staggering bickering is amazing. It's little wonder we ended up with hacks like Cornyn, as it's impossible for anyone running for any office in Texas NOT to be a little politicized.

To a degree, a lot of the folks are similar to the Dems in that "it's our way or the highway". Most genuine conservatives just want to be left alone. You do you, and I'll do me, until you attempt to imprint your views on my lifestyle. About 80% of conservatives give two ****s about social issues UNLESS you tell me I HAVE to abide by your lifestyle in my home and change my habits. I'll respect the hell outta you, but don't tell me how to live!

I see the State Conventions haven't changed a bit in the 20 years since I've been. Just stand the hell up for liberty, it ain't that hard.

As far as secession is concerned, once we repeal one of the Rights under the Bill of Rights, then I'll support it. Once one amendment is gone, then they'll all be fair game and the country will really be finished.

Maybe stop being obnoxiously sexual in public and stop demanding sexuality gets taught to young children, and people will be more tolerant.

It's like literally nothing is learned except provocation. I'm tired of it. I don't like it if some pro-Trump ******bag goes into a place and acts like an ass. I don't like it if some liberal, LGBT activist does similarly.

We're tired of it. Shut up and go away. We agree that you can own your bedroom and what goes on in it. The street is not your bedroom.

---

Well if we were looking for a list of things I've never done (as well as most gay men) I'd say this is a good start. This post and your next, they are polar opposites.

Making a platform against a group, as the Texas GOP did, is provocation and you're far more guilty of what you accuse us of. There is not singular gay movement (and if there was they wouldn't have much power), but there are very much two major political parties that have incredible power.

Here is the whole platform on LGBTQ. Please explain to me how this is "against" an entire group. The way I read it, it is mostly an affirmation of biological fact and a denial of special rights. The only way you can read this is being 'against' the group is if you deny biological fact and seek to be treated special above other people. In other words, you believe in inequality before the law. The provocation is coming from the LBGTQ community wishing to force their beliefs and demands on everyone else and then crying about it when it is opposed.

(Homosexuality and Gender Issues)

143. Homosexuality: Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice. We believe there should be no
granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin, and we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values. No one should be granted special legal status based on their LGBTQ+ identification.

144. Gender Identity: We oppose all efforts to validate transgender identity. For the purpose of attempting to affirm a person age 21 or under if their perception is inconsistent with their biological sex, no medical practitioner or provider may engage in the following practices:
a. Intervene in any way to prevent natural progression of puberty.
b. Administer or provide opposite sex hormones.
c. Perform any surgery on healthy body parts of the underage person.

145. No Taxpayer Funding for Sex Change: We oppose the use of taxpayer funds for any type of medical gender dysphoria treatments or sex change operations and/or treatments. This includes but is not limited to military personnel as well as inmates in federal, state, or local prisons or jails. Inmates must be housed according to their biological sex. No Federal, state, insurance, or probate monies may be allocated for the use of such treatment.

146. Counseling Methods: Therapists, psychologists, and counselors licensed with the State of Texas
shall not be forbidden or penalized by any licensing board for practicing Reintegrative Therapy or other counseling methods when counseling clients of any age with gender dysphoria or unwanted same-sex attraction.

abnormal
adjective
not normal, average, typical, or usual; deviating from a standard:

That is a fact. By definition. If you feel that is an attack of some kind, that's on you. You want everyone else to deny reality and therein lies the problem.

If it was normal, they would never have included the Q in LGBTQABCXYZ

The issue I have with that statement is not the word abnormal, but choice. For example, I have a nephew, that when he was around 4-5, everyone could tell that he might be gay. He's still quite young, so hasn't come out yet, but we will not be shocked one bit if he comes out as gay. And there's a lot of people that are conservative church going people that have gay children (this case included). You can't tell me it's a choice in all cases.

Great work, as always LDP!

Sexy shirt btw...I have pretty much that same exact one...only it is grey and I got it from Trump National Los Angeles about a month ago.

I don't disagree. I have two gay cousins. One I am pretty sure was gay from birth, the other by choice. Probably would have been better to just leave off "choice" from the text.

My post is 100% on topic for a disaster of a convention. Being gay is a problem for Texas Republicans which makes my post relevant, if not then why make a platform about it and block log cabin republicans? This wasn't a platform about grooming of children, it's about gay people overall.

The convention was far from a disaster. Should they have had anti-gar planks? No. I voted against them. We need to focus on getting our cou try back. But there is a LOT of great stuff in there that will still make everyone's, including gays lives better.

Don't be a single issue voter. There is so much more going on.

One can ignore all the anti-LGBT stuff in the GOP platform, and the entire platform is still as extreme and BSC as can be. Taking an official stance that Biden wasn't legitimately elected, calling for Texas secession, treating a fertilized egg as a fully formed human.

There are some positions that are innocuous and reasonable, like repeal of blue laws and term limits. But there is no denying that the platform as a whole is as far right and extreme as it gets. If you're ok with that, then fine.

I agree and have referenced this in my earlier posts, there was plenty of negative press about the meeting.

Killing babies, supporting any sodomy at all in our society, grooming children, confiscatory taxation, stripping the right to own guns from the populace, and calling for an end of free speech is EXTREME .... but neither of you two would say that.......

The more extreme the left gets, the more extreme reaction you will get from the right populist. Face it -- you are going to LOSE. We are fighting for our families, our faith, and our Constitution. We will win. No matter the costs and no matter how much it offends you.

Move to California if you don't like it.

For sure in 2022/2024 things don't look good for Dems.

I suspect as time passes this nagging issue in Republican Party will take care of itself as demographics change, but in the meantime things will be uncomfortable.

I'm not moving to California, you move to Alabama or some red state haven. Texas isn't nearly as Republican as you think and shenanigans like this weekend will bring that to light much faster.

Rs are set for a big wave in 2022, no denying that. When we're dealing with high gas prices and inflation, people blame the party in power. Also the historical trend of the party in power losing in the first midterms.

Over time the GOP will continue to shrink. The party isn't just a Trump cult. It's a group of people that becomes more and more extreme and hateful with each passing day. If you aren't as far right as the mainstream on any issue, you're an America-hating communist. Zero room for disagreement. At this point the group is a bunch of small-minded people angry that their ideology is dying off. There's a reason younger voters identify less and less with the party. Because the party now just caters to the old, ultra-traditional, ultra-religious, and most extremist members.

This is all so far beyond mere economic and fiscal issues at this point. Most normal conservatives don't care so much about homosexuality. Most Texans don't want to secede. Most conservatives want to move on from past elections. This is extreme stuff and should be treated as such.

It's a reactionary party now that you all created when the DNC began catering to the cultural Marxists. Always remember that you made us what we are.

As for younger voters, they will change when they get older and have kids. It always happens. If they don't have families or kids then they really aren't particularly important anyway.
