I'd, once again, like to point out that it seems none of you actually bothered to do a bit of research and took the news article at face value. Awkward SoccerMoms forum.
That's not to say the article was
wrong, I just know you didn't because nobody commented on this utter gem of a paragraph:
The Actual Proposal wrote:
Homosexuality – We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown
of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the
fundamental, unchanging truths that have been
ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be
presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to
include homosexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant
special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin),
custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil
penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values."
And the rest of the article keeps bringing up how Homosexuality is wrong a lot! It's hilarious!
They also support corporal punishment. No, seriously, they actually use the words "corporal punishment"!
Additionally: Teach about intelligent design and that evolution is not a scientific theory (although they do actually support teaching evolution too), and government should not provide funding for pre-school education.
For those of you who want to read it:

At they very least, they are VERY strongly opposed against any sort of racism.
