Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    Yes, I don't care whether it's genetic, upbringing, chemicals, or a choice. It's certainly none of the goverment's business.

    I'm basically straight but I want the right to have sex with other men should I chose to do so (e.g. as a favour to a friend, or for money from a stranger), as a matter of principle.
