| Description | North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) on Thursday slammed an anti-LGBT resolution that was passed by a majority of the state's Republican Party delegates earlier this year, calling it "hurtful and divisive" after a top GOP official also apologized for the language.
“LGBT practices are unhealthy and dangerous, sometimes endangering or shortening life and sometimes infecting society at large," reads part of the resolution, one of many policy statements that were passed in April by mail-in ballot.
"As I’ve long said, all North Dakotans deserve to be treated equally and live free of discrimination. There’s no place for the hurtful and divisive rhetoric in the NDGOP resolutions," the governor said in a statement. |
