The Kansas Republican Party has voted to "oppose all efforts to validate transgender identity."

The party’s state committee endorsed that statement on Saturday and also said it recognizes the dignity of those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. The committee approved a resolution on human sexuality after a debate where some questioned the state party’s priorities. The lead proponent of the resolution said he was motivated by love.

In the resolution, the party affirms "God’s design for gender as determined by biological sex and not by self-perception." The document also opposes efforts to surgically or hormonally alter an individual’s body to conform with "perceived gender identity."

The committee approved the resolution on a voice vote. The committee is made up of about 180 people, with delegates from each congressional district, along with elected officials and leaders of groups affiliated with the party.

7. Yeah...Trump wants Kansas to pony up a load of CASH for his infrastructure plan

Seriously......guess Trump didn't get the memo where former Gov Brokeback GAVE away our KDOT money to pay for a ZERO percent tax rate for Corporations.

We're lucky if we have the money to pound some asphalt in pot holes on K42.

9. Oh, but don't forget!

In the same breath they'll start yammering about personal liberties and how the government shouldn't infringe on them. Cognitive dissonance in action. The only liberties the government should leave alone are their liberties.
