Chuck Smith, executive director of Equality Texas, said this stance flies in the face of the Texas GOP’s goal of appealing to a broader base. “If they are interested in appealing to a broader base, then they need to remove the section of their plank that says that being gay tears at the fabric of society, Smith said.
