New Speaker Mike Johnson suddenly can’t remember his anti-LGBTQ+ comments
lgbtqnation.com
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.

He is such a casual bigot he can't possibly remember all the times he advocated for people to be locked up for daring to have consensual adult relationships. I mean, for me the day he lobbied the Supreme Court to take away my freedoms was a horrific affront to my welfare, but for him it was just Tuesday.
Literally how republican voters sleep at night.
Pretty sure it’s all the booze and sundry other drugs.
He's a professional bigot now, so that's no longer a valid excuse.
