Once again, gay republican group banned from Texas GOP Convention for the 20th time

...Or the stockholm syndrome.

Um, are you sure it's not the gay Republicans who have Stockholm Syndrome?

It's so heartwarming to watch other gay people work so hard to join a group who specifically outlines it's intentions in their platform and in action to discriminate against the rest of us....

Well, speaking of the Texas [STRIKE]Evangelical[/STRIKE] Republican Party Platform, here it is:

STRENGTHENING FAMILIES, PROTECTING LIFE, AND PROMOTING HEALTH
CELEBRATING TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE

Family and Defense of Marriage- We support the definition of marriage as a God-ordained, legal and moral commitment only between one natural man and one natural woman.

We support withholding jurisdiction from the federal courts in cases involving family law, especially any changes in the definition of marriage.
We shall not recognize or grant to any unmarried person the legal rights or status of a spouse, including granting benefits by political subdivisions.
We urge the legislature to rescind no-fault divorce laws and support covenant marriage.

Overturning Obergefell v. Hodges- We believe this decision, overturning the Texas law prohibiting same sex marriage in Texas, has no basis in the Constitution and should be reversed, returning jurisdiction over the definition of marriage to the states. The Governor and other elected officials of the state of Texas should assert our Tenth Amendment right and reject the Supreme Court ruling.
Protection for Religious Institutions- We believe religious institutions have the freedom to recognize and perform only those marriages that are consistent with their doctrine.
Family Values- We support the affirmation of traditional Judeo-Christian family values and oppose the continued assault on those values.
Human Trafficking- We adamantly oppose any form of human trafficking.
Homosexuality- Homosexuality is a chosen behavior contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that have been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nation’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, in public policy, nor should family be redefined to include homosexual couples. We oppose the granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
Counseling and Therapy- No laws or executive orders shall be imposed to limit or restrict access to sexual orientation change efforts for self-motivated youth and adults.
Pornography- We encourage the enforcement of laws regarding all forms of pornography.
Gender Identity- We urge the enactment of legislation addressing individuals’ use of bathrooms, showers and locker rooms that correspond with their biologically determined sex.

They're obsessed. It's a nice touch that they throw anti-LGBT stuff in with pornography and human trafficking.

If you think the Alabama Republican Party is full of crazies, you should look at videos from the Texas Republican Party conventions:

Anybody here know why they named themselves log cabin? Is it suppose to be where they meet for sex, a log cabin?

The organization is formally organized. They have their own website(s). The origin of their name is stated plainly for anyone to read:

http://www.logcabin.org/about-us/our-history/

They are alluding to Abraham Lincoln and his views on equality and tolerance. They are trying lead a return to the original party positions. That said, it's hard to imagine any 19th century party being "inclusive" by today's standards. Homosexuality was literally a crime at the time.
