WHEREAS, the practice of homosexuality is an abomination before God, is indicative of a society's moral decadence, and leads to the spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis, and other diseases; and

WHEREAS, the legalization of sodomy confers public acceptance to this activity and leads inexorably to the breakdown of the traditional family unit and subsequently to the destruction of our nation; and

WHEREAS, sodomy between two persons of the same sex was declared illegal by the Texas Legislature and codified at Texas Penal Code section 21.06; now therefore

BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party in the above-named precinct calls upon civil magistrates at all levels to denounce the practice of homosexuality and to maintain and strictly enforce laws prohibiting homosexual conduct; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that homosexuality should not be taught or modeled as an acceptable life-style in public education or public policy, and that the education mandate and "sexual preference" be removed from the 2001 Hate Crimes Bill; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no person shall receive special legal entitlements, privileges, or protections based upon his participation in homosexual acts, including but not limited to marriage or civil unions between persons of the same sex, custody or adoption of children, and spousal (partner) health insurance or retirement benefits.

Attest:
