Thanks to MassResistance activism, Texas State GOP Convention continues to condemn the LGBT agenda in its platform

Following overwhelming win after win on that issue by our pro-family delegates.

This year the Texas LGBT Log Cabin Republicans simply gave up trying to change it!

July 20, 2026

This 2022 headline says it all. We defeated them so badly in 2022 and 2024 that they just gave up in 2026!

If your past record is strong enough, sometimes just showing up is all it takes to win again. That’s the political lesson for today from MassResistance! It certainly worked at this year’s Texas State GOP Convention.

The Texas State Republican Convention is held every two years. In 2022 and 2024, the MassResistance delegates were outnumbered by the LGBT contingent. But our people were far more successful and built up an unstoppable momentum leading into this year’s convention (held June 11-13 in Houston).

Here’s what happened:

At the 2022 Texas GOP Convention, we got a strong plank passed opposing “gay rights.” It was a real battle at first. MassResistance delegates Tracy Shannon and Kevin Whitt successfully led a bitter fight in the platform committee to get the language “Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice” before the full convention.

At the full convention vote, the LGBT contingent was well organized to stop it. But Tracy, Kevin, and the MassResistance team outworked them and were more vocal. The convention overwhelmingly passed it. Here is the text of that platform plank:

Getting this passed was a shock to the LGBT movement. Within a week, the Chairman of the Texas Log Cabin Republicans resigned over that defeat.

Two years later, at the 2024 convention, the Log Cabin Republicans regrouped and were determined to remove that plank from the party platform. But Tracy was ready for that.

Speaking before the full convention, Tracy pulled no punches. She said that there can be no neutral position when it comes to this issue. If the party backs away from it, then it essentially endorses the lifestyle. A watered-down version was attempted, but that failed. The plank remained!

Tracy Shannon takes charge and rallies the 2024 convention not to back down.

At this year’s 2026 convention, Tracy was there and prepared for another big fight. But this time the Log Cabin Republicans made no attempt to fight it! They didn’t even bother to contest the plank with a minority report, Tracy told us. They knew we had them beaten!

It was a great victory without a shot being fired!

And more

This wasn’t the only victory. Since 2020, Tracy and the MassResistance delegates have also been leaders in two other battles in the Texas GOP convention:

• Keeping the traditional marriage plank (marriage = 1 man + 1 woman) in the platform.
• Keeping the Log Cabin Republicans from being allowed to have a booth at the convention.

Both of those were upheld in the 2026 convention.

Coming in 2028: Tracy’s next convention battle will be to make an important change to the GOP’s plank on “gender identity.” Currently, the GOP platform opposes allowing sex change operations for anyone 26 or under. It also supports criminal prosecutions for anyone performing such procedures on minors.

Tracy says, “Why just for ages 26 and under? Why can’t we stand against ALL so-called sex changes?” The whole ideology is based on lies, and no society should tolerate it. We anticipate her winning that one, too!

Final Thoughts

All this is yet another example of where a few people have made a tremendous difference – often in the face of seemingly overwhelming opposition!

As we continue saying: It may look like you’re outnumbered and out-funded – but it’s only an illusion to believe that you can’t still do great things. Just jump right in! MassResistance will help you.
