Newly elected House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claims he does not remember “some of” the many, many anti-LGBTQ+ comments he’s made over the course of his career.

Johnson’s history of opposing LGBTQ+ rights has been well documented and stretches back to the early 2000s, when he worked as a senior attorney and national media spokesman for anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom (then called the Alliance Defense Fund). Between 2003 and 2005, Johnson also wrote several editorials for Shreveport, Louisiana, paper The Times, criticizing the Supreme Court for striking down anti-sodomy laws, opposing same-sex marriage, and arguing against non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people.

          People can have changes of heart, and we shouldn’t vilify them if they’re sincere in their repentance.

          If MAGA and/or Q fanatics say today ‘you know what, I was wrong’ we shouldn’t berate them for what they believed in 2017, we should thank them for coming to reason. Doing otherwise makes them dig in their heels and run back to the comfort of their cult.

          Anyone is capable of bettering themselves, and we should help them change if they’re willing.

          How long are we supposed to hold these grudges? Or are you just looking for a reason to hate Biden?

      And when was the last time he made any anti LGBT actions?

      Fun fact, for anyone who didn’t know, Biden was the one who ultimately pushed Obama to come out in favor of gay marriage. He randomly stated that he supported it on some interview, which sent the White House into a scramble as they suddenly had to get Obama to make a statement. This apparently rather annoyed Obama for a while.
