Rep. Molly White becomes first officeholder to join push to move RPT convention from Dallas
"...if the Republican Party does not act decisively in support of what is right and refuses to follow its own platform, then the Republican Party will die a slow, painful death."
Rep. Molly
White, R-Belton, this week joined with grassroots conservatives who are
pushing GOP leaders to move the Republican Party of Texas 2016 convention
out of Dallas.
Conservative activists are upset with Dallas
City Council following a unanimous vote to adopt equal rights
protections similar to the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO,
which was overwhelmingly voted down in this month’s election.
In a letter to RPT
Chairman Tom Mechler and members of
the SREC, Rep. White pointed to
language in the RPT platform that says
"Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental
unchanging truths that have been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by
our nation’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must
not be presented as an acceptable alternative lifestyle, in public policy, nor
should family be redefined to include homosexual couples.”
