1/2 of Texas is gay - according to the Texas Republican platform.

[underpants]

Due to an apparent grammatical error, the party’s official platform — the Texas GOP’s policy goals for the upcoming election — declares that more than half of the state is gay:

Homosexuality is a chosen behavior that is contrary to the fundamental unchanging truths that has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans.

Several sharp-eyed readers spotted a few problems with that plank in the party’s platform. As the New Civil Rights Movement noted, the use — or misuse — of the comma in the sentence could suggest that homosexuality is “shared by the majority of Texans.”

NPR also pointed out the sentence’s verb problem: Because the word “has” is used instead of “have,” the sentence means homosexuality “has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans.”
