MT Republican State Senator Upset About GOP's Anti-Gay Platform
Some Republicans in Montana are expressing outrage that the official platform of the state GOP calls for making it illegal to be gay. The state platform reads: ?We support the clear will of the people of Montana expressed by legislation to keep homosexual acts illegal.? This was added to their platform 12 years ago, after the Montana state Supreme Court rejected the state?s anti-gay laws, and has been there since. Many are outraged by the support of this position, including Republican State Senator John Brueggeman. "I looked at that and said, 'You've got to be kidding me. Should it get taken out? Absolutely. Does anybody think we should be arresting homosexual people? If you take that stand, you really probably shouldn't be in the Republican Party?, said Brueggeman. Related Media Coverage:CBS ?
