New House speaker has made attacking the queer community a huge part of his life’s work.
Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., takes the oath to be the new House speaker from the Dean of the House Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
Johnson, R-La., has made attacking the queer community a huge part of his life’s work. We don’t yet know his style as a leader in the House, but we know exactly where he intends to go. For some reason, I don’t think Allen meant “love your neighbor as yourself.” No, conservatives like him and Johnson tend to use Christianity as justification for anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
He listed “individual freedom” and “limited government” as first and third — despite wanting laws to ban sex between two consenting adults in their own home.
