The chairman of the Republican Party of Texas says he doesn’t agree with his state party’s official stance endorsing the use of conversion therapy for the LGBT community, even though it lives in the final version of the party’s 2014 platform.
The platform, passed earlier this month at the 2014 State Convention of the Republican Party of Texas but withheld from the press for two weeks due to a “clerical issue” includes a passage supporting conversion therapy in a section defending the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
