New speaker of the House Mike Johnson once wrote in support of the criminalization of gay sex

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of making anti-gay statements, including calling homosexuality an "inherently unnatural" and "dangerous lifestyle" that could lead to legalized pedophilia and the downfall of the democratic system.
Johnson introduced a bill similar to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, which critics argue is discriminatory towards the LGBTQ+ community.
Johnson's anti-gay language and stance on same-sex marriage have received criticism, especially at a time when a majority of Americans are supportive of gay rights.
