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.

    This is a news aggregation site that delivers what's important - articles about technology, science, and general interest.

    Once we delve into "general interest" as a category, what isn't a valid story? Might as well start posting recipes and quilt patterns.
