Texas Republican convention bashes gays



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Now the Texas Republican party is debating making gay marriage a felony. I guess they're still pissed the Supreme Court told them to they had to rescind their sodomy law (a law Bush supported).

As an aside, I remember there being more than a few rumors flying around the Web about the Texas governor a few months ago, and now he's bashing gays - how interesting...

Gov. Rick Perry stirred Texas Republican Party fervor Thursday with sharp attacks on gay marriage, abortion and presumptive Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry....

The Texas Republican Party platform committee wants to add a provision in the document urging that it be made a felony for a government official to perform a same-sex wedding -- or issue a same-sex marriage license.

Proposed changes to the state platform will be debated by the full convention later this week.

The current platform opposes same-sex marriage, but the committee adopted a change that says officials who perform same-sex weddings should go to prison.
