Burgum denounced the controversial resolution, which states that"LGBT practices are unhealthy and dangerous, sometimes endangering or shortening life and sometimes infecting society at large," in a lengthy speech, calling it homophobic and divisive. The GOP-led legislature voted in favor of several dozen resolutions -- statements of policy for the state's Republican Party -- that claim to reinforce the state's conservative morals and values on marriage, which it defines as a union between one man and one woman, state documents show. The resolutions also reject laws that protect groups based on sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the documents.
Opponents of the resolution package have characterized it as a list explaining why LGBTQ protections would harm the general society.
There is no place in the US for the left’s radical Marxists agenda of tearing down society and replacing it with their tyranny. Why don’t you write about the fact that Portland has been rioting for over 50 days straight? ABC news are partisan leftist hacks
Nobody has the right to pass legislation against anyone based on sexual orientation. Non-gays will of course live as they choose & gays will ALSO have that same right!!! Equal justice & mutual respect has nothing to do with one’s personal choice of lifestyle.
The solution, vote them out of office, starting with Trump.
Disgusting rubes🖕🏼
So much praise is given when a republican simply acts or speaks like an average human being. The GOP is a disaster.
to be the so called ProLife religious party of patriots, republicans are SO angry and hateful🤷♀️just ugly for no reason. bullies DomesticTerrorists
Well done Sir history remembers those who choose the just and good road even when it is hard. And for those who would seek to lessen the humanity of their fellow Americans will not meet the maker in the heavens but their doom in the bowels of fire and ash.
More and more Americans are seeing the light. Can't wait for November elections.
So 1 of them has a spine. Nice to know.
As a North Dakotan, he is doing a great job governing our state. I met him and he is a very chill guy, he is so much different than other GOP politicians
as a queer person who lives in this state it's about fucking time someone put effort into not taking this shit anymore. Who knew a republican had the brain cells to go against that bigoted christian bullshit.
Await rep to be branded a traitor for going against his party, GOP habit. And the courts to declare this unconstitutional based off of precedent that was set by the US SCOTUS.
One sane Governor.
Medically 'transitioning' children is child abuse & women--especially lesbians--deserve to have male-free spaces and sports. The 'TQ' is fundamentally at odds with much of the LGB. This is well on the way to being a medical scandal.
Is that Fonzie?
Remember kids: there is no such thing as transgender rights because that's not a life threatening issue. To change your gender is neither possible nor your right. If you're a man you wont be a woman after, you'll be a mutant. Same goes for women.
Thank you governor. The stupid and hateful must be called out.
I'm anti LGBTQ and pro-GSA as well as Pro-TQ needs to go therapy and learn to accept what they are because it makes up who they are and if they don't like what they are to THAT extent it's a mental issue, not a sexual preference and is a medical problem.
It is necessary to demolish and blow up the CCP’s illegal buildings and military islands in the South China Sea to maintain world peace.
Enoch 26 1. Then I said, What means this blessed land, all these lofty trees, and the accursed valley between them? 2. This valley is the accursed of the accursed for ever. Here shall be collected all who utter with their mouths unbecoming language against God, and speak harsh
Finally someone with a backbone!
Somebody’s child just came out! Good for them!
Burgum goes against everything good and true; he's not even a real Republican - he changed parties and signed on as one just to make it 'more acceptable' for him to do his business/agenda on ND. Pretty sure he's what is called a RINO.
NDGOP ARE FASCIST BIGOTS
NDGOP Exec. Dir. Corby Kemmer: 'The resolutions were presented for an up or down vote, and no one resolution was voted on individually. We regret any offense this may have caused...' THEY KNEW WHAT WAS IN IT, and they VOTED FOR IT. Don't piss on my boot and call it rain.
Good.
This is sad and disgusting
He has been a decent guy. Quite a contrast to that nut in South Dakota.
The GOP is going to kill itself. Times have changed. If they don’t, there won’t be a Republican Party.
Idiot asset of the deep state.
We may start seeing more of this as Trump's implosion continues. There's splits in many of the states between the governor and the legislature, even when they're nominally in the same party.
Im a Repub and even I think this went a bit too far. Good for Burgum. Thought SCOTUS already ruled on these issues.
I'm from ND and very proud of him for doing it!!🤩🤩
one man at a time
Are you sure you're in the right party Doug?
Good for him👍🏼
