WASHINGTON ― The North Dakota Republican Party voted this spring to approve its 2020 platform and included language calling LGBTQ people unhealthy, dangerous, manipulative to children and voyeurs who wish to prey on members of the opposite sex.
But in a bizarre twist, after it started getting press attention last week, the same GOP officials who voted on the homophobic language are now condemning it and saying they dont know who wrote it or where it came from.
The anti-LGBTQ section of the platform, referred to as Resolution 31, is as offensive as it is outdated in its claims about queer people. You wont find it on the partys website anymore because the party pulled it down. But a reporter for The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead nabbed a copy of the platform before it disappeared.
Resolution 31 is titled In Opposition to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Anti-Discrimination Bills, which it refers to as SOGI bills. Itincludes statements such as this:
SOGI bills grant protection to voyeurs who wish to prey on members of the opposite sex.
