The chairman of the Log Cabin Republicans of Texas, which represents gay GOP members, resigned Thursday after the state party approved a platform calling homosexuality an “abnormal lifestyle.”
“These are just crazy people,” Michael Cargill, who owns an Austin gun store, told KXAN. “It’s a small minority of people that are being un-Christian-like and spewing this hateful language.”
Mr. Cargill said he would continue to lead the LCR chapter in Austin, citing a “great working relationship” with GOP leaders at the Texas Capitol.
“I will continue to lead the charge for all of our constitutional rights and focus on what is important to our chapter,” he said.
