The homophobic GOP

Montana GOP policy: Make homosexuality illegal - Yahoo! News

Gay sex is sick but come on now, you can't legislate sex, consensual sex.

 

[Tom Clancy]

Gotta love the Politicians who are willing to be involved in peoples bedrooms.

 

[Charles_Main]

Very disturbing. I wish the Radical Religious right would simply form their own party. I am sick of their extreme BS being blamed on anyone who is conservative or Republican.

Gotta love the politicians that intentionally write laws that they know have no chance of passing or will instantly be overturned by the courts to rile up their gullible bases.

Sure you can. We wouldn't have statutory rape if we couldn't.

 

[boedicca]

Yeah, the GOP is So Homophobic that the Log Cabin Republicans are the ones aggressively working to get rid of "Don't Ask Don't Tell".

 

[Big Fitz]

Nothing is worse than law and order libs or those who try to legislate morality.

"You can't take away people's right to be assholes. THAT'S who you remind me of! An evil Mr. Rodgers!" Simon Phoenix.

Yeah. The Log Cabin Republicans are a real force for power in the GOP.

I don't know that it's far to say the entire GOP is homophobic, but the Montana GOP certainly is.

The Idea behind that is that a person under the legal age, is not capable of informed consent.

Come on guys, it's MONTANA now, don't blame it on the party.

Not that I'm a GOP Apologist or anything...

Texas GOP Platform Advocates Criminalizing Gay Marriage, Banning Strip Clubs, Pornography

Texas Republicans recently unveiled a policy platform that includes a statement of support for legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to same-sex couples as well as for an official to perform a marriage ceremony for gay partners wishing to wed.

•"We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases."
•"Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have beenordained by God, recognized by our country's founders, and shared by the majority of Texans."
•"Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable "alternative" lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should "family" be redefined to include homosexual "couples."

Conservatives have embraced the radical right.

If they had just replaced homosexuality with promiscuity, it might carry some weight. Course, that completely goes off the rails with the refusal to recognize family and couples.

Falwell would be so proud of his success in taking over state legislatures.

Come on guys, it's MONTANA now, don't blame it on the party.

It's the Montana State Republican Party platform. If it's not the party then who the hell is it??

[geauxtohell]

It's the GOP "3 G" strategy. They really have nothing else.

....

Brueggeman suspects that the vast majority of the party believes, as he does, that the Republican party should remove statement. It's against every conservative principle for limited government and issues like this exemplify how a political party can interfere with the relationship between lawmakers and their constituents.

"I just hope it's something that's so sensitive that people don't want to touch it," he said. "Even if there wasn't a Supreme Court decision, does anyone really believe that it should be illegal?"

Ooooooooops.

It pays to read the article to the end.

Get back to us when they actually change their years-old position on this matter.

And apparently that is exactly what they are working on as the majority of the party supports its removal.

Criticism for that? Stunning.

They should work harder.

Or not.

I mean, it's only been their official position for 12 years now. Maybe they need another decade to mull it over.

Like I said, get back to us when their position changes. As it stands, apparently it took a little bit of embarrassment from the press to get their asses in gear.
