Tell Michael Steele: Reject the Texas GOP's Anti-Gay Platform
The Issue
The Texas GOP has put forth a 2010 party platform that includes the following planks:
-Gay people shouldn't have custody of children.
-Issuing a marriage license or performing a marriage ceremony for a same-sex couple should be punishable by jail time.
-19th-century Texas statutes outlawing sex between men should be restored.Homosexuality "tears at the fabric of society."
-The national Republican party has yet to distance itself from this hateful rhetoric.
Does the Texas Republican Party speak for the RNC? If not, Michael Steele had better say so.
