Texas Republican platform says gays ‘abnormal,’ Joe didn’t win

Texas Republicans believe being gay is an “abnormal lifestyle choice” and President Biden didn’t really win the 2020 election.

The Lone Star State GOP party put its stamp of approval on the extreme pronouncements against the LGBTQ community and the current resident of the White House at its convention over the weekend.

A proposed plank in the latest Texas Republican party platform included the bigoted new language criticizing LGBTQ people.

“Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice,” it reads along with voicing opposition to “all efforts to validate transgender identity.”

Votes on the anti-gay provision are being certified following the convention, a spokesman said.

A local chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans, which supports gay rights, said it was blocked from setting up a booth at the convention.

It slammed the state GOP’s decision as “not just narrow-minded, but politically short-sighted.”

Meanwhile, a resolution passed by a voice vote at the confab derided Biden as the “acting president” who was “not legitimately elected.”

“We reject the certified results of the 2020 presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” the Texas party said in a resolution.

Biden actually received 7 million more votes than Trump. Biden also received 306 votes from the Electoral College, easily more than the 270 needed to win.

But some two-thirds of Republican voters tell pollsters that they believe the election was stolen from Trump, the same credo that inspired thousands of extremists to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Despite becoming more evenly divided in recent years, Texas remains a solidly Republican state and all statewide offices are controlled by the GOP.

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) is favored to win reelection to a second term as he faces a challenge from former presidential candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas).
