Along those lines, a new investigation from the Daily Beast reveals Johnson enjoys close ties with leaders of Christian dominionism, a radical sect of Christian fundamentalism that supports establishing a Christian nation, opposes all LGBTQ+ rights and supports slavery.
Yes, slavery…
Politics, but make it gay!
Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!
The Daily Beast asked Johnson’s office whether the Speaker ascribes to the radical and hateful beliefs of Christian dominionism, including whether the Bible endorses slavery.
A spokesperson declined to disavow any of those atavistic ideas.
“None of these actions or comments you are referencing were made by Speaker Johnson. The Speaker is not going to apologize to the Daily Beast for his Christian faith or judge the beliefs or statements of others,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
While Johnson may not want to cooperate with the Daily Beast or other left-leaning publications, it’s astonishing his spokesperson can’t even denounce Christian fundamentalists who support slavery and want to criminalize homosexual behavior. One of the Christian Nationalists closest to Johnson is David Barton, who the Southern Poverty Law Center says has “demonized LGBTQ+ persons and communities, arguing that HIV and AIDS are god-given consequences for living out one’s LGBTQ+ life.”
At a Christian lawmakers’ event two years ago, Johnson, then a back-bencher, credited Barton for his “profound influence” on his views and work.
Shortly after Johnson was elected speaker, Barton celebrated his newfound connection to congressional leadership. He said Johnson becoming speaker awards his group with “some tools at our disposal” that “we haven’t had in a long time.”
Barton is far from the only bigoted figure in Johnson’s orbit. Earlier this week, more than two dozen House Democrats slammed Johnson for inviting a trans-hating pastor as guest chaplain last month. The preacher in question, Jack Hibbs, has called transgender people a “sexually perverted cult” and said schools should out trans students to defeat “demonic and dark satanic powers.”
In addition, Hibbs was a huge proponent of the January 6 riots, claiming God had anointed the Trump Administration.
NEW: In a letter to Mike Johnson & the House Chaplain, more than two dozen House Dems slam the pastor that Johnson invited as guest chaplain last month—Patrick Hibbs—for fueling Jan. 6, calling trans people a plot of "Satan himself," saying Jews are in a "stupor," etc etc etc pic.twitter.com/UG1cYLOiFW
Pastor Jack Hibbs has made a point of flouting IRS rules on political activism from the pulpit, filming his clearly partisan sermons & sending them to the IRS. "That's the whole point, to cross the line, to draw fire," Hibbs has said. "We want to draw the IRS out." https://t.co/cehfQaUxib
Unsurprisingly, Hibbs also isn’t a proponent of same-sex marriage. The pastor claims gay marriage “crucifies God’s word” and that acceptance of LGBTQ+ people is evidence that we’re living in the “last days.”
Those outrageous statements mirror Johnson’s previous remarks about same-sex marriage and homosexuality in general. In newspaper editorials, he’s called homosexuality an “inherently unnatural” and “dangerous lifestyle” that would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy “the entire democratic system.”
As a congressman, Johnson has championed a national version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation. He says the “Democrat Party and their cultural allies are on a misguided crusade to immerse young children in sexual imagery and radical gender ideology.”
Back in the mid-2000s, he argued that gay marriage “is the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic.”
Johnson even once blamed homosexuality for the downfall of the Roman Empire.
“Some credit to the fall of Rome to not only the deprivation of the society and the loss of morals, but also to the rampant homosexual behavior that was condoned by the society,” he said in a CNN interview.
As an attorney, Johnson represented a group that endorses conversion therapy, as well as extremists who said the government should terrorize LGBTQ+ people.
One of Johnson’s former clients, radical Christian preacher Grant Storms, staged a violent protest in 2003 against New Orleans’ Southern Decadence, an annual celebration of LGBTQ+ people. One of the attendees attempted to murder a man with a five-inch steak knife.
The stabber admitted in a recorded confession he “wanted to kill a gay man.”
Even as Speaker, Johnson has resorted to bashing LGBTQ+ folx, including children. He sent out a fundraising email last year denouncing out high school students.
Johnson’s long history of homophobic statements shows where he stands on LGBTQ+ issues: right beside Barton and other Christian Nationalists.
When it comes to Johnson’s actions as House Speaker, he’s also affiliated himself with right-wing extremists, despite their grumbling over his bipartisan spending deals with Chuck Schumer. Johnson recently named Marjorie Taylor “Jewish space lasers” Greene as an impeachment manager for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ Senate trial.
While the House’s original attempt to impeach Mayorkas on superficial charges failed, Johnson forged ahead. The House impeached Mayorkas this week by one vote.
The case, of course, is DOA in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Speaking of the Senate, Johnson is refusing to hold a vote on the $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other allies that passed the body with bipartisan support.
Johnson’s actions keep looking worse with each passing day, given the recent death of Russian political prisoner and opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Putin murders Navalny the same week Donald Trump invites Russia to invade Europe and MAGA Mike Johnson blocks aid to Ukraine. This isn’t a coincidence, it’s the green light Putin has been given. https://t.co/K0Tm3H4IxE
The Florida governor now says the state’s law regarding book bans goes too far.

“My gut reaction is that they [homosexuals] are security risks,” he told gay activist Robert Vane, according to The Morning News.
After this it seems LGBT+ rights were barely a blip on his radar until the 90s, when Biden’s voting record begins to look decidedly homophobic.
In 1992 he voted to block an amendment that would implement a system for cohabiting same-sex partners, extending rights and benefits that were traditionally reserved for matrimony.
The following year he voted to block the immigration of HIV positive people into the United States. Around this time he also voted for “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”, which deemed homosexuality “incompatible” with military life.
This devastating policy kicked 14,500 LGBT+ service members of out of the military because of their sexuality. Years later as vice president Biden supported its repeal, but at the time he was firmly in favour of the motion.
In 1994 he voted for an amendment to cut off federal funding for schools that taught “acceptance of homosexuality as a lifestyle”.
And in 1996 he was among the many Democrats who voted for the Defence of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defined marriage as between a man and a woman – a considerable setback for LGBT+ equality.
Only 15 years ago:
And he still refused to back marriage equality in his vice-presidential campaign. Asked at a July 2007 campaign event if he saw same-sex marriage happening in the next five years, Biden replied simply: “I don’t.”
His dementia must of have him perplexed on where he stands and his view towards LGBT. His track record proves that, until he chose to pander to a particular voting base.
Anyone care to share Donald Trump’s negative quotes on LGBTQ? There are none. Ever.
When does Biden plan to apologize for his past homophobic remarks? Or he doesn’t need to and maybe you should see if Mike Johnson’s views on gays change in 10 years. After all, you gave Biden that free pass.
He supported gay marriage before Obama, Hillary Clinton and most other Democrats. His interview where he supported gay marriage started the sea change in the Democratic Party.
But, apparently Hi has been in a coma since the ’80s.
So this is today’s talking points all copied and pasted b/c of the various right wing failures from yesterday? What’s the matter can’t actually make a defense w/o deflection to things that happened 30 years ago?
Can’t defend the fact Fani Willis annihilated Trump’s team? Or the fact your only witness to the Hunter Biden conspiracy was arrested for lying?
When you have to do the degree of mental gymnastics you do to try and “defend” whatever it is you’re defending, it’s simpler to just admit you’re wrong and remain silent moving forward.
Fani Willis was spending the taxpayer’s dime on Grey Goose. Not a good look. I realize in your state California that politicians regularly flush money down the commode without any consequence. Middle America typically cares, though. Hell, even Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin conceded that Willis should have been more forthcoming.
Trump is still touting that trans people have no right in the military or in high school sports. Trump and Biden are of a certain age. I suspect Biden has evolved over time and Trump is just spewing what the conservative religious right stands behind. Trump claims to be pro LGBTQ but his actions show his true feelings.
Why would we expect Mike Johnson to apologize for being himself? We certainly don’t. I mean, yes, we (our community) isn’t doing anything wrong or hurting anyone purposefully…and Mike Johnson actually is on both those counts.
But apologies only come through thoughtful self-reflection and empathy. Not strong points of the GOP.
I can’t think of a more disastrous session of Congress. The withdrawal of support for Ukraine amounts to criminal negligence.
The Democrats really need to do everything they can to regain the House of Representatives in the 2024 elections and put an end to this Johnson nonsense.
Welcome to the internet. The issue with people like you is they refuse to allow themselves a chance to learn something new and grow when someone challenges them.
What if everyone had your mindset? What would we accomplish then?
We are now witnessing the complete and total nervous breakdown of someone with severe mental issues.
Observe his extremely defensive and criminal behavior. Barron Hi Wiseman lives in a world of pedophylia (sp? I’m sure he will correct me) and child porn. He’s getting off on sharing it.
Why a happy Gay website would be the place for this…only heaven knows
I wouldn’t be surprised you can’t tell the difference b/t combative rhetoric and observation. I understand that when emotions run high, rational thinking can be difficult.
To your next point:
I guess you didn’t watch the Willis testimony. Completely destroyed the Trump lies.
Best part, they didn’t even call her back to the stand today b/c how badly she owned them yesterday.
OUCH. But like she said: “I’m not the one on trial here…”
Maybe you should reconsider which side you support in light of the constant fail after fail after fail.
Gosh, some foreign nations sure want us to give away $95,000,000,000. The USA could use that money to repair our roads and infrastructure – just like Biden promised in the last election.
What is the interest rate on the USA borrowing $95,000,000,000 to send overseas, Fahd? Around $1,7762,000.000 a year? Go ahead and take out that loan Fahd.
Fahd could call for a ceasefire and negotiate for peace at a cost of about $0. But how will our corporate owners (MIC) make money on peace? Negotiations mean everyone doesn’t get everything they want; I’m sure there is a middle ground … if we look for it OUTSIDE our Dept. of War.
Biden and the Democrats passed a huge infrastructure bill that Republicans are constantly taking credit for when the good works benefit their states. Maybe you’re not paying attention or maybe your state government refused the funds or something.
abfab resorts to misgendering, rather than thinking. The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. If you have to attack using gender, you may not support gender equality.
People live and learn………..in America as same gender marriage is the law of the land. My husband of 57 years got married June 10, 2004 in Cambridge, Massachusetts and we lived the American dream!
Several years ago, when my doctor and I were discussing politics for a few moments, he said to me, “I went to high school with Mike Johnson. He’s the same today as he was then: an arrogant, simpering little prick.”
“…So, let us not be blind to our differences — but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.”
abfab, If you stopped posting long enought to think rather than post your personal attacks, you might start to understand. Instead, you demonstrate the Dunning–Kruger effect where your cognitive bias and limited competence trigger you to overestimate your wisdom. You can’t even accept that JFK was good, peaceful, and wise. You’d have used nukes in the Cuban missile crisis.
From abfab’s anti-trans sexism (misgendering as a weapon) to his misogyny to their anti-peace/pro-killing stance, abfab demonstrates all that is wrong with this society. Give us a JFK and understanding, not propaganda and wars.
Yo Zz! Ya have $$355 million layin around? We be takin’ a colexion on acounta for our preesa dent Mr Trump and he coowd shure uze yer help. 355 smackeroos, dats all we need. Act now! We beg of you!
would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy “the entire democratic system.”
As I said on another recycled Johnson post, he ain’t wrong. Enter Queerty’s push to normalize polyamory a few months ago. All the queer polyamorists from the Radical Faerie community I know? They screw in front of their children. And an lgbtq organization recently promoted teen queers with a cartoon 12 year old vagina on their posters. As I always tell people, the social conservatives were right all along. I reached my “I’ll be damned” phase of my political evolution.
“Two Florida individuals pleaded guilty last year to transporting stolen property across state lines for their roles in selling the diary of President Biden’s daughter to Project Veritas — a conservative group that has used clandestine methods such as hidden-camera videos to target officials, liberal groups and the news media, per the New York Times.”
You can spot a crank even if you know very little about the subject in question. And the line above could only have been written by a major league crank.
You see, to the crank the really important thing is not discerning the truth of a situation. It is not weighing the evidence in a sensible way to arrive at a correct conclusion. No. The important thing is establishing the crank’s intellectual superiority over anyone who takes a different view. That is why debating a crank is usually a very frustrating experience. While you are busy trying to conjure up sound arguments and clear logic, the crank is going through his arsenal of obscure, out-of context facts, looking for one he can use to shut you up.
abfab is against JFK, understanding and peace!?! The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.
yes we’ve heard for decades that homosexuality, gay marriage etc. will lead to legalized pedophilia. Gays have been standing up for equal rights for decades. Gay marriage has been legalized in all states for almost 9 years. Where are the bills Democrats have pushed for legalized pedophilia? Only thing that comes to mind regarding congress and pedophilia lately is Gaetz flying teenagers to parties out of state so he can down some crushed up viagra mixed with Red Bull so he can “go all night”.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that would allow judges to decide whether or not to list someone as a sex offender for having oral or anal sex with a minor.
Although some are saying this bill does not equal the legalization of pedophilia, in a sense, it very well represents a step closer toward that heinous reality. This bill was passed in the name of “equality,” claiming that LGBTQ+ minors deserve the right to consensual sex, too. Yet, truly, the only people benefiting from this bill are those who should be charged as offenders, but are instead, being defended by the state.
A child is defined as an individual under the age of 18, as stated by UNICEF. According to their Convention on the Rights of the Child, the government should protect children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. This includes people forcing children to have sex for money or making sexual pictures or films of them. In passing this bill and the one passed over 50 years ago, government officials in the state of California are failing to protect minors from sexual exploitation, which is their duty as elected government officials.
According to the bill, it only applies to consensual sex (whether it be vaginal, oral or anal) between a minor 14 years or older. But at 14 years of age, a minor is still just that – a minor. Most laws recognize individuals younger than 18 as minors, which is the case with U.S. law, and yet, most scientists are agreeing that individuals don’t really reach full maturity until the age of 25.
I,m hoping someone finds out he is a closet case, i,m ashamed to admit when i first saw him, Before! he opened his mouth and spewed good old hateful Christian Love, i would have done him LOl,
so glad you said ‘before he opened his mouth” Can’t stop the cringe when gays post “I’d still do him” regarding a right wing religious homophobe who tries to dehumanize LGBTQ folk

From the left-wing Axios on December 26, 2023:
“Two Florida individuals pleaded guilty last year to transporting stolen property across state lines for their roles in selling the diary of President Biden’s daughter to Project Veritas — a conservative group that has used clandestine methods such as hidden-camera videos to target officials, liberal groups and the news media, per the New York Times.”

He knows that already. Writing cute sentences? The latest Dickvaney diversion tactic when being outargued. He’s like a small child.

You can spot a crank even if you know very little about the subject in question. And the line above could only have been written by a major league crank.
You see, to the crank the really important thing is not discerning the truth of a situation. It is not weighing the evidence in a sensible way to arrive at a correct conclusion. No. The important thing is establishing the crank’s intellectual superiority over anyone who takes a different view. That is why debating a crank is usually a very frustrating experience. While you are busy trying to conjure up sound arguments and clear logic, the crank is going through his arsenal of obscure, out-of context facts, looking for one he can use to shut you up.

Redzebra1 is absolutely right.
abfab is against JFK, understanding and peace!?! The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.

yes we’ve heard for decades that homosexuality, gay marriage etc. will lead to legalized pedophilia. Gays have been standing up for equal rights for decades. Gay marriage has been legalized in all states for almost 9 years. Where are the bills Democrats have pushed for legalized pedophilia? Only thing that comes to mind regarding congress and pedophilia lately is Gaetz flying teenagers to parties out of state so he can down some crushed up viagra mixed with Red Bull so he can “go all night”.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that would allow judges to decide whether or not to list someone as a sex offender for having oral or anal sex with a minor.
Although some are saying this bill does not equal the legalization of pedophilia, in a sense, it very well represents a step closer toward that heinous reality. This bill was passed in the name of “equality,” claiming that LGBTQ+ minors deserve the right to consensual sex, too. Yet, truly, the only people benefiting from this bill are those who should be charged as offenders, but are instead, being defended by the state.
A child is defined as an individual under the age of 18, as stated by UNICEF. According to their Convention on the Rights of the Child, the government should protect children from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. This includes people forcing children to have sex for money or making sexual pictures or films of them. In passing this bill and the one passed over 50 years ago, government officials in the state of California are failing to protect minors from sexual exploitation, which is their duty as elected government officials.
According to the bill, it only applies to consensual sex (whether it be vaginal, oral or anal) between a minor 14 years or older. But at 14 years of age, a minor is still just that – a minor. Most laws recognize individuals younger than 18 as minors, which is the case with U.S. law, and yet, most scientists are agreeing that individuals don’t really reach full maturity until the age of 25.

so glad you said ‘before he opened his mouth” Can’t stop the cringe when gays post “I’d still do him” regarding a right wing religious homophobe who tries to dehumanize LGBTQ folk
