By now you’ve likely heard that Representative Mike Johnson—the congressman Republicans finally elected as the new Speaker of the House after 22 days of chaos—played a significant role in the plot to overturn the 2020 election, a lowlight on his résumé that is obviously deeply concerning for the future of democracy. Also extremely worrisome? Johnson’s wildly bigoted remarks about homosexuality over the years, and the fact that he supported criminalizing gay sex between consenting adults.

CNN’s KFile reports that prior to his career in politics, Johnson wrote a series of deeply homophobic editorials in his role as an attorney for the socially conservative legal group now known as Alliance Defending Freedom.

        yup like this guy former Idaho Senator Larry Craig - staunch opponent of LGBTQ+ rights caught cruising for dick in a public bathroom. To be clear, the problem isn’t that he was doing gay stuff, but that he was a hypocrite about it and was clearly projecting his own insecurities into law.

          Same as Clinton, etc. America wasn’t pissed he had an affair … it was that he lied about it.

          Stop. Fucking. Lying.

            Those are not even remotely the same thing.

            Politicians lying is a bad thing. Politicians making laws that harm Americans for things that they do themselves is worse. It’s lying plus damaging our society.

            Clinton lying about his affair didn’t impact any other American other than Monica Lewinsky and his wife.

            If these ghouls stopped lying tomorrow we would all be horrified of what we find out.

            No. Not the same at all. It was fucking cool that Clinton got a blow job in the Oval Office, it was not cool that it was from a subordinate. Clinton did not commit any crimes nor misdemeanors. Oral sex is not sex.

      Aye. It’s usually the ones that cry the loudest. How many times haven’t outspoken anti-gay people been caught having affairs with a partner of the same sex?

        You are the smartest man alive and definitely shouldn’t be concerned about going bald slowly.

      I was going to say the same thing, either he does or he is fantasizing about it. What a weird individual.

        These people legitimately don’t understand that standing on the corner, yelling “I DONT WANT TO FUCK DOGS” at random people is not a good way to convince people that they don’t want to fuck dogs.
