No seriously, please explain this garbage to me.


Texas Republicans endorse 'reparative therapy' for gays - CBS News

'Under the new plank, the Texas GOP recognizes "the legitimacy and efficacy of counseling, which offers reparative therapy and treatment for those patients seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle."

And you keep wandering why you people keep losing independents. If you are a republican but are smart enough to see how crazy this is, I suggest you get to writing these bat crazy fellow Republicans to shut their mouths and stop making you look bad

Let the GOP pray the gay away and deny global warming. As long as they keep losing on a laughable message they can't inflict their "beliefs" on the rest of us.

The Texas Republican Party has reached a new low with this

Hopefully this is a wake up call for independents. I also know a few LGBT still voting for Republicans, and I can't think of a better time for them to finally jump ship.

It's also illegal in 2 states, and should be illegal in all 50.

I can see why you'd be offended. The taxpayer shouldn't be funding such treatment, any more than they should be paying for birth control.

This therapy has no science behind it, that is why its ridiculous.

However, as a tax payer paying for an item that has founded science behind it, prevents unwanted pregnancy, lowers single parent households, prevents a person from having to possibly resorting to abortion and in the long runs, saves me as a tax payer a lot of money by having less people on welfare..........sorry, as a tax payer Ill GLADLY pay for something that has many benefits for many people and is better monetarily in the long run.

But thats a problem for many on the right, they never see the long term.

You forgot the best part. They want to replace the word "homosexual" with "sexual sinner".
I kid you not. It's straight out of the 17th century.

They'll be wanting to burn witches at the stake next. Then they wonder why the rest of the world laughs and laughs at them.

If this country elects an all right wing senate, congress and presidency........then all hope for this country is lost.

I am afraid if the above happens, we will become a 3rd world country between the haves and have nots amd the govt. will want to know what Im doing with myself in my own bedroom.
Hey does your country allow asylums from the US? I mean after all, its no longer the American Dream, now its the Canadian Dream
