Texas GOP Lashes Out at Gays with Support from Verizon

The Texas GOP has officially declared homosexuality an “abnormal lifestyle choice.” Delegates voted to approve particularly homophobic elements in the party platform this weekend, including an endorsement of abusive ex-gay therapy. None of it would have been possible without help from the Texas GOP’s major donors: Verizon, Anheuser Busch, AT&T, and more.

1. Such a really creepy state. TX needs to dump their politicians. n/t

4. Yes it is and no they won't!

I've always believed that Texas needed a constant reminder that when it was an independent nation, it only lasted 10 years!

9. Death. Fascism. Texas. Thanks for your contributions, Pepsi

Not that I drink much of their crap, but now I know to change that from "very little" to none. After all, why give you my money when you're going to use it to fund this bullshit - including my own demise, election denial, and a desire to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

7. They don't recognize "Log Cabin Republicans"

the GOP's LGBTQ+ caucus anymore either.

Color me surprised...

10. It's okay

The Log Cabins still recognize the QOP and will still work hard to get them elected. Even though their precious party openly hates them now and would be just fine with their foot soldiers killing them. "Thanks for the donations, suckers. Thanks for the voters, suckers."

"I guess my money is more important than my rights." Feel the same way about your lives, Log Cabin Useful Idiots? Maybe they'll be nice and make it quick and painless should they be elected.

8. Texas has gone full-on Nazi..

Are we shocked with the path they've taken in 2022? The only difference between Texas and Saudi Arabia is Saudi Arabia is even hotter, and halfway around the world.

I haven't done business with AT&T (AT-AT as I sarcastically call them) in over a decade, and have no desire to again. I've never done business with Verizon, and never will. Anheuser Busch, Pepsi, etc... Well, no more business for them either. Shame on each and every one of those sponsors - especially the two-faced phony ones who sure love to rainbow up their logos in June while donating money to oppress and kill us the rest of the year.

12. Being Republican is an "abnormal lifestyle choice"

It means denying truth, facts, even denying reality itself.

Living in an imaginary backwards fantasy is definitely abnormal.
