Left Behind

From Gaystar news:
The resolutions committee of the political action committee that provides national leadership for the Republican Party of the United States quietly rejected two anti-gay resolutions on Wednesday in what may be a sign that party leaders want to appear more moderate to voters.

The Republican National Committee had been asked to consider two motions put forward by members.
The first resolution was introduced by Michigan national committee member Dave Agema and called for ‘schools that are teaching the homosexual lifestyle in their sexual education class to also include the harmful physical aspects of the lifestyle.’
In support of the resolution, Agema claimed that American society is ‘portraying the homosexual lifestyle as an attractive option for school-aged children’ through same-sex marriage and that homosexuals die 21 years younger than their heterosexual peers.
The second resolution was introduced by Louisiana national committee member Ross Little Jr and sought to encourage the US Congress and state lawmakers to pass laws in disobedience of the US Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage nation wide.
Both failed to gain enough support to be recommended for consideration by the full 168 members of the Republican National Committee on Friday and it appears unlikely the resolutions will come up again.
Michigan Republican Party Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel openly condemned Agema for his resolution on gay sex education and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has repeatedly asked him to resign over his racist and homophobic public statements in the past but the party has no mechanism by which to sack him.
However the resolutions committee also blocked a counter-resolution that sought to respect differing views on same-sex marriage within the Republican Party and its presidential candidates.

It called on Republicans to ‘support and promote our nominee for President, regardless of their expressed opinion on the Obergefell v. Hodges
