Meet the New House Speaker: He’s a Bigot!
On Thursday, the U.S. House elected a new Speaker. And his background is, to say the least, alarming [[link removed]] . Mike Johnson has made a career out of anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice stances [[link removed]] . He once called marriage equality a “harbinger of chaos” and referred to homosexuality as an “abnormal lifestyle”. [[link removed]] He also introduced a national “Don’t Say Gay” law [[link removed]] !
LGBTQ+ House candidates were quick to call out Johnson’s extremism. In one of our favorite moments, incumbent Rep. Angie Craig used her vote to wish her wife a happy anniversary [[link removed]] .
