UPDATE: Republicans Pass LBGT Valentine’s Resolution w/ Slightly Less Support

Conservatives lose with dignity.

PREVIOUSLY: Texas House Dedicates Valentine’s Day to Homosexuals

The Texas Legislature allows lawmakers to change their votes after a measure passes or fails, and they appear to have done that with their recent resolution to dedicate Valentine’s Day to spreading homosexuality.

It’s bizarre that you would be allowed to change your vote after you know the results, but this procedural trick is low on our list of concerns with this current crop of politicians.

It’s not totally clear they pulled the old switcharoo here, but the journal was updated with a bunch of Republicans voting no.

Texas GOP @TexasGOP

The official record has been updated and 54 members of the Texas House voted no on this resolution. Thank you to these members for paying attention and updating their vote! #txlege capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/His…

Bryan Slaton did a video where he said they didn’t really have a choice to vote no, which leads me to believe they changed it after the fact.

Despite continued attempts to stop it, today the House passed a resolution celebrating LGBT activism. I strongly opposed this. Find out what happened in my video below:

Tinderholt says he made it happen.

Rep. Tony Tinderholt @reptinderholt

Today, @BryanforHD2 and I tried to work with the parliamentarian to get a vote on this resolution by itself. If the resolutions committee tries to pass these leftist resolutions as a package in the future I will be voting against the entire package. #txlege

In case you wanted a status update on the culture war, the Republican-controlled Texas House just passed a resolution honoring men pretending to be women on International Women’s Day.

Even so, it would have passed on its own 95 - 54.

Does passing with a *few* less votes mean it’s a little less gay?

Not really. To the extent the Republicans who voted “yes” will show their face in public, they will just lie about this when confronted. Understand, this is like if Democrats voted to congratulate the Confederate Generals. It’s totally bonkers.

Conservatives will go along with anything. We need right-wingers. Maybe center-right. No more left-wing stuff in Texas.
