Dem lawmaker delivers brief history lesson for Republicans confused about Jesus Christ’s stance on homosexuality

While speaking on the House floor, the Democratic lawmaker referenced a recent article published by The Washington Post that discussed “the historic wave of bills targeting LGBTQ teens, children, and their families.”

He also noted another article published by the news outlet with the headline, “Some Republicans fear party overreach on LGBTQ measures,” and opted to expound on the issue from a Biblical perspective. The California lawmaker did so with a simple gesture that spoke volumes.

“I just thought I would now recite what Jesus Christ said about homosexuality,” he told his fellow House members. When reciting what Jesus Christ said, Lieu offered no words as he suggested there is no documentation to confirm that Christ ever made a direct reference to homosexuality.

According to data compiled by the LGBTQ advocacy group, Freedom for All Americans, “at least 166 measures to restrict LGBTQ rights are still pending in state legislatures across the nation — nearly quadruple the number of similar bills introduced just three years ago.”
