I doubt that's the mainstream Texas GOP. It's the wingnuts who decide these things.

[Neitteloxesia]

Wow, why am I surprised that a total lie would get recited here on Poly. None of this is true.

[MeatteCen]

I guess this is made up too

[Boveosteors]

Banning sodomy just makes it more interesting.

[Bonioners]

Um, didn't the U.S. Supreme Court rule that sodomy laws were unconstitutional while back?

[OwdBKKHO]

Another gem from the Texas Republican Party:
We also believe that no homosexual or any individual convicted of child abuse or molestation should have the right to custody or adoption of a minor child, and that visitation with minor children by such persons should be prohibited but if ordered by the court limited to supervised periods. Presumably if you disagree you support letting child molesters adopt children.

a case went to the SCOTUS in 2002 I think, from Texas. Thats why they're upset... Their conviction was overturned. Police responded to something else and find 2 guys in bed somehow. I dont remember much else about the case.

Interesting...did the cops look closely to ensure that sodomy was taking place, or did they just make the assumption that that was going on because two guys were in bed? Maybe they were just cuddling!

1. The insertion of a penis into the bumhole.
2. Someone found out and reported it.

Just a guess, but I reckon those must be the first steps.

Very funny.

I was thinking more along the lines of proof, although I suppose you don't need that if there is a confession.

[WapSaibian]

That would make for interesting courtroom viewing.

[rujeltaoser]

I imagine that made for some interesting cross-examination.

"But you didn't actually see his penis penetrate the anus?!"

[beckercpa]

Of course, no two people have ever lain in bed without clothes on without a willy going up the bumhole!

[KuevDulin]

In addition, the platform says that homosexuality “tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit and leads to the spread of dangerous communicable diseases.”

That's not the only thing sodomy tears...

[CDCL7WKJ]

That shows a remarkable lack of imagination Elok.

Completely plausible explanations (and clearly enough for 'reasonable doubt' in my book)

1. Caught before anything actually happened.
2. Oral or manual stimulation (or something else) only.
3. It was a very hot day (as I believe is common in Texas) and they could only afford one hotel room.

Unless there is physical evidence.

...I really can't see any other reason for two dudes to get naked in bed. Are you trolling, merely being pedantic, or is there something big I'm missing here?

heh

...I really can't see any other reason for two dudes to get naked in bed. Are you trolling, merely being pedantic, or is there something big I'm missing here?

I've been in bed with another guy a number of times over the years where we made love or did other things in bed, without having anal sex. So in those instances we were in bed together naked, without having engaged in sodomy.

[Drysnyaty]

yeah

[dittygari]

You mean like when Boris provided TMI about his fling with the mattress sales person?

[hojutok]

4 was still my favorite.

[sarasmid]

So what makes some Texan Republicans think that their state government can disobey the U.S. Supreme Court ruling?

The fact that they're TEXAN Republicans. Haven't you been paying attention?
