Mike Johnson’s extreme anti-gay past keeps getting darker
CNN reports Johnson provided legal advice to an organization called Exodus International, a leader in the “ex-gay” movement.
The group also promoted a national school theme day meant to demean homosexuals.That’s right: As a counter to GLSEN’s “Day of Silence,” which spreads awareness about the impact of bullying on LGBTQ+ youth, Exodus International launched an event called the “Day of Truth.” The idea was for homophobes to counter that silence by distributing anti-gay propaganda.
Sounds pretty repugnant, huh?! Johnson was all-in.“I mean, our race, the size of our feet, the color of our eyes, these are things we’re born with and we cannot change,” he said in a 2008 radio interview. “What these adult advocacy groups like the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network are promoting is a type of behavior.
Homosexual behavior is something you do, it’s not something that you are.”Those words definitely sound like homophobic bingo!
