Gay Congressman Eviscerates GOP Colleagues For Attacking LGBTQ+ Rights Act In Powerful Speech

Gay Congressman Eviscerates GOP Colleagues For Attacking LGBTQ+ Rights Act In Powerful Speech
C-SPAN

After Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia made headlines by hanging a transphobic poster outside of her office, many of her Democratic colleagues in the House have condemned her in no uncertain terms.

Democratic Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, who supports the House's Equality Act and also happens to be gay, was clearly affected by her bigotry.


Pocan would later take to the House floor to deliver a speech calling out his GOP colleagues for their bigotry.


Pocan said during his speech:

"I was going to talk about the need for equal treatment under the law, for everyone regardless of who they love.... But the QAnon vibe in this chamber has gone too far."
"This new QAnon spirit across the aisle is occurring in a nasty and hateful way. A lead GOP opponent of this bill actually posted an anti-trans poster on the wall outside her office, directly and intentionally across from a Democratic member of Congress with a trans daughter."



Twitter was inspired by Pocan's impassioned speech and backed him up on Twitter.



Some were shocked the GOP would condone such hatred from within their ranks.



LGBTQ+ Americans from inside and outside Pocan's district were glad he was in Congress to represent them.



There is a stark contrast between the GOP's approach to equality and the Democrats' approach.

That difference has never been clearer than now.

Canadian PM Candidate Proposes Retaliatory Tariffs Targeted At Elon Musk—And People Are So Here For It

Chrystia Freeland, who resigned last month as Justin Trudeau’s deputy and finance minister and is running to be the next leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister of Canada, proposed "targeted" retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. that would target President Donald Trump's allies, including billionaire Elon Musk.

Freeland has pledged precise and targeted retaliation against the 25 percent tariff Trump has imposed on all steel imports. She warned that if necessary, the country would “inflict the biggest trade blow that the United States has ever endured.” These tariffs would in part target automotive company Tesla—a jab at Musk, who is its CEO.
