New GOP Chair Doesn’t Want To See Gay Couples Kiss

[TexasTowelie]

Texas GOP Chairman Tom Mechler

The new chair of the Texas GOP says if his hometown newspaper ever publishes a photo of a same-sex couple kissing, he’ll cancel his subscription.

Texas Republicans on Saturday selected Tom Mechler, an Amarillo businessman who’s served as the party’s treasurer since 2010, to succeed Steve Munisteri, who stepped down as GOP chair to become a senior advisor to Sen. Rand Paul’s presidential campaign.

Mechler beat out Dallas County GOP Chair Wade Emmert, former Harris County GOP Chair Jared Woodfill and Republican National Committeeman Robin Armstrong in the race to replace Munisteri.

In a column for the Amarillo Globe-News last March, Mechler responded to LGBT activists who objected to a local gym’s refusal to offer a family membership to a same-sex couple.

“We have gone way past the point of reason in the attack by homosexual activists and other liberals who want to manipulate society to serve their purpose,” Mechler wrote. “One of the problems we are experiencing in our nation is that if you say you believe in the biblical definition of marriage (which I do), or if you express an opinion that liberals determine as being politically incorrect, they will attack you—sometimes viciously—frequently making threats against your life and property. They call your comments and thoughts homophobic or hate speech.”

5. Then I'd advise him to stay out of gay bars...LOL.

6. Well if he finds it offensive that his prerogative...

but I don't think anyone is forcing him to look. His personal preferences are his own business, but he doesn't get to decide for anyone else.

I hate censorship types, whether they claim conservative or liberal leanings.

7. I hope some gay couples stage a kiss-in in front of his house or office.

8. I might be happy with a biblicallly defined marriage...

except I can't afford nearly as many wives as Solomon had.

9. A "biblical marriage" is an exchange of property between two men

Man one gives wealth and goods to man two, in exchange for man two's offspring, who will be regarded as a domestic animal. That's why in the commandments, the wife is placed in the same category as houses and donkeys.
