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.

"Something to keep in mind is that these people often find themselves facing a terribly inhumane choice - they can be honest about their sexuality but if they do they will have to give up their entire lives. Their spouse will divorce them, their families will disown them, their friends will abandon them and their church will shun them. And for these people their church is usually at the center of their social lives."
Yo its not so bad, just enter the priesthood. No problemo, and there's multigenerational huge organizational pressure to help cover up if there's any complaints.
Besides its becoming a stereotype that everyone knows, understands, and accepts that virtually all anti-gay neocon men are deeply in the closet and highly active with other men. If there's one who isn't, that would be the shocker.
The only correct part is spouse will get pissed off. Hetero guys don't get a free pass from their wives either. In that part you were 100% correct the little lady is not going to be happy.
