Proofreading mistakes are a fact of life (as eager readers love to point out to us). But Texas Republicans are so busy attacking gay and trans people, they've forgotten to copyedit their own hate-filled rhetoric.

Yesterday, NPR pointed out that a plank in the Texas GOP platform is so filled with grammatical errors it actually suggests most Texans are 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.

Aside from forgetting to put an apostrophe in "nations," the misuse of a comma in the sentence suggests they're claiming homosexuality is "shared by the majority of Texans."

That idea is furthered by the mismatched verb tenses: Using "has" is used instead of "have," is stating homosexuality "has been ordained by God in the Bible, recognized by our nations founders, and shared by the majority of Texans."

Now we'd agree with some of that, but we don't think that's what the Republicans in the Lone Star were getting at. Especially since it calls for a North Carolina-type "bathroom bill" in Texas, as well as the rejection of the Supreme Court ruling bringing marriage equality to the whole nation.
