The Texas Republican Party gives a whole new meaning to the word conservative.

The GOP there has voted on a platform that would ban oral and ####### sex. It also would give jail sentences to anyone who issues a marriage license to a same-sex couple (even though such licenses are already invalid in the state).

“We oppose the legalization of sodomy,” the platform says. “We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.”

The Lone Star state initially passed a law barring sodomy in 1860. Violators faced anywhere from five to 15 years in prison. The ban was overturned in 2003.

In addition, the platform says that homosexuality “tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.”

It also states that homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in public schools and “family” should not be redefined to include homosexual couples.

The 25-page proposal, presented last week as a guide for the state GOP over the next two years, includes other measures including outlawing “sexually oriented businesses” like strip clubs and banning “all pornography.”

What a bunch of perverts!

[Amby 490]

why do they care about bumming? as long as people aren't doing it out in the open or in front of children then it doesn't matter!

[slim 1,514]

I wish when they tried to pass laws like this they'd also include "and sex should only be for purposes of procreation and in the missionary position."

They should also say something like, "and we swear to never have extramarital affairs either."

Well, that is exactly what they mean, so why not just put it out there?

I mean FFS, get over yourselves. Interesting how they want the government out of their own lives, but it's fine for the government to be in people's private bedrooms.

[Fandango 1,439]

This is anti-gay agenda, make no mistake about it.

And it sucks.

That's just plain stupid, and they must be really bad in bed.

I live in Texas, and I can definitely say that homophobia is rampant here. It truly is a phobia, too. It's pathetic, really.

I am pro-choice on everything. stay out of my (wife's)uterus, stay out of my gall bladder, stay out of my garage, my refrigerator, my wallet and stay out of my bedroom. None of the things going on in any of those places are anyone's to concern themselves with.

Texas is another of the enlightened states to ban sex toys for the protection of everyone.

Funny thing is that NONE of that is illegal in Vermont and there is not a single strip club in the state!
