Radically Anti-Gay State Platforms Reveal GOP's True Colors
Washington, D.C. - Republican state party platforms from across the country reveal the true extent of the anti-gay, homophobic GOP agenda just as the national party mounts its upcoming convention.

"Republicans will trot out pro-gay moderates like Rudy Guliani at their upcoming convention in an attempt to masquerade the party's real agenda from the American people," said Eric Stern, Director of GLBT Outreach at the Democratic National Committee. "Well, these state platforms rip that mask right off and expose the truth. By refusing to put an end to the discrimination found in his own party's platforms, Bush is telling America that he agrees with these divisive and dangerous beliefs. The proof is in the writing."

A sampling of language included in the platforms is below.

Oregon Republican Party Platform
"We believe all forms of homosexuality and the so-called homosexual agenda are morally wrong and damaging to society in the long term. We oppose…adoption and foster parenting as a moral transgression against the party."

Iowa Republican Party Platform
"We support a landlord's right to refuse leasing property to cohabiting homosexuals based on moral grounds."

Minnesota Republican Party Platform
"We should amend the U.S. Constitution and the Minnesota Constitution to define marriage as the legal union between a man and a woman. We oppose civil unions or their legal equivalents between same-sex couples."

Texas Republican Party Platform (Bush's home state)
"The Party believes that the practice of sodomy tears at the fabric of society…homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country's founders, and shared by the majority of Texans."
