First is the lead organizer of the Campaign for Houston, Steve Hotze. If that organization sounds familiar, it’s because it is. Back in 1985, Hotze organized the “Campaign for Houston Straight Slate,” led by then-mayor Louie Welch who said that the best way to control AIDS would be to “shoot the queers.”
Credit Hotze for consistency. In 1982, he said of gays that “they proliferate by one means, and one means only, and that’s recruiting. And they recruit the weak. They recruit children or young people in their formative years.” And in May 2015, he said, “Homosexuals cannot reproduce, so they have to recruit, and they start with children.”
Hotze is also the founder of the Conservative Republicans of Texas, a home-grown vitamin salesman whose medical treatments have been widely discredited, and the “singer,” if that’s the word, of two auto-tuned piano pop songs about resisting the “tyranny of the federal government” and seceding from the United States (“Texas should be free—it should be an independent nation”).
