Texas says it was just experimenting in college and that doesn't count.

Commas are tricky things.

To reword it: "The majority of Texans share these fundamental truths, which homosexuality is contrary to."

"Hear ye, hear ye! I, as the rightful speaker of these words mentioned prior to now, doth declareth thy name banished from the hearing of all peoples, so therefore bringing about the actions, most mentioned latterly to prior statements thereof."

If homosexuality was a chosen behavior, who would choose to be hated and disrespected the way many gays are?

Can we just give Texas to Mexico?

Can we just give Texas to Mexico?

And make them pay for it?

I was thinking we should build a wall around Texas from the north and make Texas pay for it.

No it doesn't. He just came up with that to make us read a standard platform for the Southerners of the United States.

LOL. Obviously, the text was not written in Word, which warns the illiterate that perhaps things are a bit amiss from certain grammatical conventions.

One good thing about Trump is he might start the process of weaning my party away from this theocratic bull.

You got yourself into this mess and now you're paying the price. You have until January 20, 20X7.

Although poorly worded, it actually doesn't say that. The phrase "shared by the majority of Texans" refers back to "fundamental unchanging truths", not "a chosen behavior". That being said, the "has" in that sentence should be "have", and "are" should precede the words "recognized" and "shared". But there is no way, using standard grammar to interpret the phrase as referring back to "a chosen behavior".

Whoever wrote the article isn't that well-versed in grammar rules apparently.

It doesn't read correctly either way as-is. If there was a comma between "unchanging truths" and "that has," it would read the funny way. If "has" was changed to "have," it would read the intended way.

Newsflash: Texans are largely morons. Details at 11.

Sell Texas to Canada and make Lying Ted pay for it.

Isn't Texas one of the two states (the other being "muh libertarian Montana") where the state Republican parties have it written into their platforms that they believe that homosexuality should be punishable by death? Such good Christian folks they are [not].

Perhaps they just ignored it?  Or had their little brother turn off that option years ago?
