Carl's Jr.'s new big-char chili burger is big on char-brow flavor, big on spice, with melted pepper

jack cheese and spicy scented face sauce, big on smoky sweet heat with a whole fire-roasted

charred and a hard chili, and big on savings with the big-char chili combo. Get the big, bold,

smoky flavor for a new Carl's Jr.'s big-char chili burger with small fries and drink for just

7.99. Tax not included for limited time, price and participation may be.

There's something strange going on right now. In the way Republicans talk about people

who are LGBTQ. If you listen in on how Republicans speak to each other, you can hear it's even

strange for them. This is a meeting that took place in Texas last month, the Biannual Republican

Convention. The people in this room are writing up their party platform, going through a document

that's projected on a big screen. Someone's about to add a little new language, about a thousand

lines in. I want to add the following short sentence. Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice

period. As you can probably imagine, not everyone is in favor of this change.

Anybody want to speak against? Mr. Vaughan? I know you're all surprised, right? Look, I have

not spoken against any other these. Jason Vaughan is gay, he's from Houston, and he is pissed.

Dropping this on this committee right now after these things have been so hard fought, after

honestly something I deeply disagree with, it's harmful, it's hurting. I was called a pedophile

outside. Somebody screamed pedophile at me because I'm a gay man. I am a member of this committee.

I was unanimous. I'm sorry I shouldn't get this emotional. I'm a member of this committee.

I have been committed to this party. I have blocked walked every weekend.

Listening to Jason Vaughan's shock is a decent reminder of how quickly mainstream republicanism

is moving here. Debating how normal he is, feels retro to Jason. Feels retro to me too.

We legalized gay marriage not that long ago. It just seems it was whiplash to me.
