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.
Yea after all the damage he has done with red lining, the klan , gay rights and so on. He is just as bad as he always was
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?
This is such an important thing. The more you push people away from changing the more solidified they become in their beliefs.
This is a really good Ted talk that was recently released. Highly recommend watching at least the last half of the video.
