"Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice." written into Texas GOP platform. [View all]

The @TexasGOP has long opposed gay marriage, but its 2022 proposed platform has new language to describe homosexuality:

"Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice."

This language wasn't in the party's 2018 and 2020 platforms. Delegates will vote on the 2022 platform today.
