At their state party convention last weekend, the North Carolina Republicans adopted a new state party platform that outlined its opposition to “all forms” of discrimination. The passage in question reads:

“Government should treat all citizens impartially, without regard to wealth, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sex, political affiliation or national origin. We oppose all forms of invidious discrimination. … 

Sexual orientation is not an appropriate category.”

Essentially, the party is completely contradicting itself by saying it seeks to protect all citizens - except gay ones. (And can we point out that “wealth” is the first category they think to mention? Not “socioeconomic status” or even race, but wealth?)

The post linked above from the New Civil Rights Movement explains eloquently why this is, for lack of a better word, complete bull. Feel free to read more of their snarky commentary, but prepare to be outraged. 

Yeah, this is absolutely disgusting.
