GOP approves pro-Bible, anti-transgender stances in party platform
"We are your daughters, we are your friends," Washington, DC delegate Rachel Hoff said, her voice breaking. "All I ask today is that you include me and people like me."
"All I ask today is that you include me and people like me."
Her efforts were to no avail.
Conversion therapy
And taking a page from the Texas Republican Party's platform, Louisiana delegate Tony Perkins proposed language endorsing so-called "conversion" or "reparative therapy."
Trump has said he opposes abortion, and he called for doctors who perform the procedure to be punished. But he has also supported adding exceptions for rape and incest, or when the woman's life is in jeopardy. No such exceptions exist in the current Republican platform.
To Republicans, there is no such thing as an unfit mother.
So let's all salute Trump and the new/old GOP Party Platform.
Now that we have gays out of the way, who's next?
