Texas Republicans Declare All-Out WAR On The State’s LGBT Community

The Texas Republican Party has single-handedly thrown the state back into the dark ages by adopting a platform that, by vote, deems homosexuality as an “abnormal choice”. If that wasn’t bad enough, the party also reaffirmed their opposition to recognizing that transgender people exist while affirming support for conversion therapy programs. Ana Kasparian and Emaa Vigeland discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"In a giant step into the dark ages, the newly adopted platform of the Texas Republican Party now officially declares that homosexuality is an “abnormal choice.”

The shocking platform, voted on by 5,100 delegates and alternates Saturday at the party’s biennial convention in Houston, also affirms Texas Republicans’ opposition to “all efforts to validate transgender identity” ― and calls for a ban on any gender-affirming medical care, including hormone therapy, for anyone under the age of 21.

Yet the platform supports debunked and dangerous conversion therapy — which it terms “Reintegrative Therapy” — to turn members of the LGBTQ community into heterosexuals and eliminate “unwanted same-sex attraction.”"
