From the Texan Republican Party Platform for 2004.
Homosexuality-- The party believes that the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.
Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders and shared by the majority of Texans.
Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples”.
We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, recognition of privileges including, but not limited to, marriage between persons of the same sex, custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits.
We oppose criminal penalties or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
“We pray God Bless Texas. God bless the U.S.A. God bless us all!”
