I've picked up plenty of Bibles, Mike Johnson. I didn't see your hate anywhere.

Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons

Sinful. Destructive. Morally wrong. Physically dangerous. Inherently unnatural. Deviant. Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson has spared no invective in describing the LGBTQ community. He’s gone as far as saying same-sex marriage will destroy “the entire democratic system.” His legislative record points to an obsession with gay sex.

As speaker, Johnson will have to work with the Democrat-controlled Senate and White House to govern. Yet on LGBTQ rights, he’s shown no willingness to compromise. The bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act passed last year with 39 Republicans and all of the Democrats in the House voting in favor. The law balances protections for same-sex and interracial marriages with religious liberty concerns. But that type of bipartisan compromise didn’t move Johnson, who has said same-sex marriage will lead us down the road to acceptance of pedophilia and marrying animals.

Johnson proposed a federal “don’t say gay” bill that restricts any type of LGBTQ content for kindergarten through third-grade classes because the prohibition on “sexually oriented” content is defined as anything related to gender identity or sexual orientation. The Human Rights Campaign has consistently given him zeros on its congressional scorecard.

But even more concerning is what he advocated prior to his election to Congress, when he voiced strong support for the criminalization of gay sex. So-called sodomy laws were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2003.

I got enough of that shit from my Southern Baptist grandparents when I was a kid.

I can't respect anyone who insists the answer to all of life's questions is in the Bible, and that reading it will have an inarguably positive effect on one's life.
