Breitbart reports:
The Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay conservative activists, have been denied a booth at the Texas GOP convention, which runs June 16-18. The decision was apparently a close 4-3 vote of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee.
The Log Cabin Republicans said the Texas convention should allow the organization to host a booth in the name of the Republican Party’s growing “inclusion,” citing the victory of Mexican-American conservative Mayra Flores in this week’s special election in the state’s 34th congressional district.
Our statement on @TexasGOP excluding @LogCabinTexas from the convention:
“Inclusion wins, which makes the Texas Republican Party leadership’s decision to exclude the Texas Log Cabin Republicans from their convention not just narrow-minded, but politically short-sighted.” pic.twitter.com/vp1UAZJZtn

?@DonaldJTrumpJr on @TexasGOP excluding Log Cabin:
“The Texas GOP should focus its energy on fighting back against the radical democrats and weak RINOs…instead of canceling a group of gay conservatives who are standing in the breach with us.” https://t.co/2k4ugSxnAl

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.

NEW: The Texas Republican Party has voted to shut out Log Cabin Republicans, an organization of gay Republicans, from participating in their convention. Log Cabin Republicans just said it is “shameful” they they are being “excluded” and that Republicans are being “narrow-minded.”
