Reply #50: Let's see. We have the 2000 GOP Platform for Texas, and the 2006.

[Warren DeMontague]

Here's 2000, which was obviously before the Lawrence decision:

The party opposes the decriminalization of sodomy....We publicly rebuke judges Chief Justice Murphy and John Anderson, who ruled that the 100 year-old Texas sodomy law is unconstitutional, and ask that all members of the Republican Party of Texas oppose their re-election.

2006 is a little more brief:

Texas Sodomy Statutes - We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.

So, okay, they didn't want to put Gays in jail--- Just any gays who have consenting adult sex with each other.

Assuming the gays don't actually ACT gay, I guess they can avoid being hauled off to Jail. :eyes:

Here's some more fun with the Texas Republican Platform that you seem so eager to defend:

I suggest you read the pertinent quotes from the platform, along with the translation into English. Like, "Our Party pledges to do everything within its power to restore the original intent of the First Amendment of the United States and the concept of the separation of Church and State and dispel the myth of the separation of Church and State."

Translated into English, that means: "We should completely do away with separation of church and state."

Pretty fucked up, if you ask me.
