A post shared by Rep. Jeff Duncan (@repjeffduncan)When it comes to LBGTQ+ issues, Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina is about as homophobic as they get.
The 57-year-old MAGA Republican is against marriage equality, going so far as to co-sponsor a 2015 proposal to amend the U.S.
Constitution to have same-sex marriage banned. Marriage, he believes, is sacred and should be as God intended: between one man and one woman.He’s also against equal protections of queer people in everything from housing to employment, and he thinks anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech should be protected under free speech laws.
Oh, and he’s a huge supporter of “religious freedom” protections that make it legal for private businesses to discriminate against gay people if that’s what God wants them to do.And he does all this under the guise of championing “traditional family values.” According to his reelection campaign website, Duncan’s #1 top priority is to promote “the values that you instill into your children at the dinner table.” But according to his soon-to-be ex-wife, Melody, his #1 top priority has been to sleep with as many women as possible behind her back for the past 30-some years.A post shared by Rep.
