Prior to becoming a god-fearing MAGA lawmaker, the 51-year-old worked as an attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, filing lawsuits against same-sex marriage, same-sex adoption, and same-sex marital benefits.Per LGBTQ Nation:Johnson has previously said that same-sex marriage will lead to “chaos and sexual anarchy” and “place our entire democratic system in jeopardy by eroding its foundation.” He claimed legalizing same-sex marriage would lead to “pedophiles” seeking legal protections for having sex with kids and people trying to marry their pets.
