"CNN’s K-File reported Wednesday on the many anti-LGBTQ editorials and statements made in the past by newly-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
“Johnson’s past includes harsh anti-gay statements, including support for criminalizing gay sex. In the mid-2000s, he called homosexuality ‘inherently unnatural’ and a ‘dangerous lifestyle,’ and said it could destroy America,” wrote Andrew Kaczynski in his reporting.
