Texan Republicans are determined to maintain their battle against the terrible sin that is homosexuality. They have officially endorsed reparative therapy in the party's state platform.

 

“We recognize the legitimacy and value of counselling which offers reparative therapy and treatment to patients who are seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle,” the platform reads.

 

Apparently, the official position was written up by Jeremy Schwab, once a member of the Log Cabin Republicans who is now "ex-gay."

 

He claimed that he is no longer dealing with same-sex desires, choosing to redirect his urges toward food. He posted a former topless pic of himself, saying, "This picture was taken about 7 years ago. It was BEFORE I came back to the Lord. I think in some ways food replaced sexual sin for me and now I can’t even get into my OWN pants."

 

Preferred foods include hotdogs, whole cucumbers, popsicles, and penis-shaped chocolates with creamy centers.

 

“This resolution does not state that a person cannot be gay, nor does it try to intimidate gay persons," he argued, defending the policy. "It only seeks to protect the rights and health of self-motivated individuals in the state of Texas.”

 

Tell that to the next gay teen who tries to kill himself after failing to be "cured."
