That's probably a bigger "if" than the article cares to cover. The assumption seems to be LGBTQ/Transgender are part and parcel with "American conservative principles". That question apparently remains unsettled for many Texas Republicans.

Respecting Texas GOP membership, they seem to be making a rational distinction between a Republican individual's personal beliefs and lifestyle choices and an organization's narrow political agenda.

I believe the Texas GOP is indicating it will not be manipulated or forced at gunpoint to promote a particularly narrow issue.

If sexuality and gender issues are inconsequential, perhaps it's best not make them so by organizing around them and promoting a narrow agenda. And if these organizations' individual members truly support "limited government and American conservative principles" the Texas GOP should be able to count reliably on their support and votes because the policies of the Democrats and Progressives embodies the antithesis of "limited government and American conservative principles".
