The Dallas Morning News reports on the effort of the Dallas Log Cabin Republicans to change the Texas Republican Party Platform stance on homosexuality:

The Log Cabin Republicans’ attempt to amend the Texas Republican Party Platform — a 31-page document articulating the official stance on a variety of issues — begins Tuesday, when the party conducts “precinct conventions” at primary election voting stations after polls have closed.

Evidently, the Platform is filled with mentions of homosexuality and even devotes a whole section to the subject:

The Texas Republican Party Platform, passed in 2006, references homosexuality numerous times throughout its 31 pages and includes a section on the issue:

“Homosexuality: We believe that the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases
