Hate Groups Behind GOP’s Anti-LGBT 2020 Platform

Gary Carnivele June 12, 2020

Politico reports:

A vote by the Republican National Committee to leave the party’s 2016 party platform unchanged ahead of the November election has infuriated grass-roots activists — including moderates who wanted to streamline its message and social conservatives who sought added language on emerging hot-button topics.

The decision by the party’s executive panel Wednesday means the GOP will maintain positions in the four-year-old policy blueprint — including opposition to same-sex marriage and a nod to gay conversion therapy — and decline to stake out new positions on topics such as police reform, gender identity and third-trimester abortions.

Party officials and senior Trump campaign aides had previously discussed ways to pare down the 58-page document to a single note card or abbreviated list of principles, but the effort broke down after several conservative groups registered complaints with the White House.

At the link (read it) you’ll see that among the anti-LGBT groups that pressured the RNC to reuse the 2016 platform were the Eagle Forum and the Family Research Council.
