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.

Lesbians are AOKAY! Right? It's always the lesbians that get the best treatment.

Well let me tell you something, lesbians can be Uber ugly just like us handsome guys just trying to you know, play with our penises in private to be happy the rest of our lives... probably living in a car since we won't be allowed to own property or whatever this guy decides to do to us now.

It's like that black activist lady this Friday complaining about the migrant camp being built in a historical black park! She's not being racist! Go install the migrants in a closed Gucci store somewhere in a 50 story building where rich people live! WTF. Leave the rest of us be with the little we still have!
