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.

These particular Republicans are a parody of themselves. Just a quick thought about the mentality that produced their platform (that they seem proud of) will reveal that that particular group of Republicans can be relied upon to be closet racists.
That the rest of the party isn't throwing up right now say a lot about them as well. I wouldn't say no Republican is throwing up a bit at least or at least desperatly trying to hold their lunch down, but as a party, I notice they haven't disavowed all ties yet.
