"Controversial Speaker Mike Johnson: Defending Anti-LGBTQ+ Views and Challenging Biden's Election"

Republican US House speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana defended his anti-LGBTQ+ views by telling critics to "go pick up a Bible." Johnson, a Bible-believing Christian, stated that his personal worldview is based on his faith and he makes no apologies for it. Before entering Congress, Johnson worked as an attorney for right-wing Christian groups and held extreme views against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. His association with the Alliance Defending Freedom, labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, has drawn attention. Johnson's controversial remarks and advocacy against homosexuality have resurfaced, including claims that it is "inherently unnatural" and could lead to legalizing pedophilia.
