Crosspost.... North Carolina GOP platform: Exclude LGBT individuals from discrimination laws

The North Carolina Republican Party adopted a platform over the weekend that states gay, lesbian, bisexual and trangendered individuals should be excluded from anti-discrimination laws, according to Think Progress.

“Government should treat all citizens impartially, without regard to wealth, race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sex, political affiliation or national origin. We oppose all forms of invidious discrimination. Sexual orientation is not an appropriate category,” the platform (PDF) states.

The platform also calls for limiting marriage to the union of one man and one woman, and preventing same sex couples from adopting children.
