In another op-ed written in 2005, Johnson argued against non-discrimination policies for LGBTQ+ people, describing the “homosexual lifestyle” as “behavior patterns that are proven to be destructive to individuals, to families, and to society at large.”

“Your race, creed and sex are what you are, while homosexuality and cross-dressing are things you do,” he said. “This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.”

In a third editorial written in 2004, Johnson argued against same-sex marriage, calling LGBTQ+ relationships “inherently unnatural” and said it could lead to letting people marry their pets.

And in another, written in 2004, he called same-sex marriage “the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic.”

Let's take another look at that:

“Your race, creed and sex are what you are, while religion is something you do. This is a free country, but we don’t give special protections for every person’s bizarre choices.”

But, we do give special protections for your bizarre choices, don't we?

I'm firmly convinced that this guy thinks, "If only there were a law against this, I could stop myself"...

Edit: I only care if someone is honest, and good - not who they're attracted to. But when this sort of thing concerns you so much, you're definitely obsessed. Why would he be obsessed with gay stuff unless it were deeply personal?

This has happened like 100 times. Self loathing gay conservatives are the most anti-gay of them all.
