It's just a matter of time.

Might as well get on with it rather than look like a bunch of out-of-touch yahoos.

DALLAS (Reuters) - Two Republican gay rights groups said on Thursday they had been denied booths at the party's upcoming Texas convention after being told their sexuality runs counter to the party's views.

The Metroplex Republicans and the national Log Cabin Republicans said at a news conference in Fort Worth that state GOP leadership had denied them permission for the booths at the June 5-7 convention.

"It’s time that the Texas GOP's hypocritical policies and procedures are replaced by new ones that match the general opinion of Texan Republican voters," Log Cabin Republicans of Texas Chairman Jeffrey Davis said.

The Texas Republican Party did not respond to requests for comment.

Young Texas Republicans support gay rights. Old Texas Republicans do not.

One day, old Texas Republicans will die off, and gay rights will become accepted. Best we do it know so that Republicans don't continue to reinforce the stereotype that they are intolerant.
