Republican Party platformNBC News
•75% Informative
The Republican Party platform was updated last month for the first time since 2016 .
The party’s previous platform included at least five references to marriage as a union exclusively between “ one man and one woman” Some took this to mean the party was softening its stance on gay nuptials.
But some academics and critics say the language in the new platform doesn’t mark a shift at all.
The few mentions of LGBTQ people in the new GOP platform are focused on transgender people.
Transgender people have been the targets of hundreds of bills in recent years seeking to restrict their access to public restrooms, sports teams and ID documents consistent with their gender identities.
The platform’s use of “sanctity of marriage” instead of an obviously exclusionary definition of marriage might help LGBTQ Republicans who are in a same-sex marriage “feel better about their vote”.
