A federal grand jury indicted Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska yesterday for allegedly hiding information and lying to authorities about illegal contributions made to his 2016 reelection campaign.Fortenberry, who has been a member of the U.S.
House of Representatives since 2005 and sits on the House Appropriations Committee, not only opposes same-sex marriage, he once took his hatred of LGBTQ people a step further by supporting a constitutional amendment that defined a marriage as being between one man and one woman.
He’s also against any sort of workplace protections for LGBTQ people, says homophobia is free speech, supports Trump’s trans military ban, and believes religious groups should be legally allowed to discriminate against gay.
