Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) attacked the Equality Act during a bizarre rant on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, referring to the landmark pro-LGBTQ legislation as a bid for the “supremacy of gays, lesbians & transveshikes.” “The so-called Equality Act, which we all know is the Democrats using a play on words,” said Boebert – who has previously accused Spongebob Squarepants of being gay. “There is nothing about equality in that act.
If anything, it’s the supremacy for gays, lesbians, and transveshikes.” The Equality Act bans discrimination against LGBTQ people as well as cisgender, heterosexual people since it addresses sexual orientation and gender identity generally.
