There's still a ways to go in improving society's acceptance of LGBTQ+, but there's definitely a much wider range of support than we've had in previous decades. Enough so, it's still inadvisable to post blatantly homophobic things online.
Jenna Ellis—former attorney for former President Donald Trump—caught flack online for calling President Joe Biden a "fake Catholic" after his government Twitter account changed it's header to wish everyone a "Happy Pride Month."
This is the current banner of @POTUS account.\n\nJoe Biden is a fake Catholic.pic.twitter.com/dK6znb6Pho— Jenna Ellis (@Jenna Ellis) 1623329822
It isn't going how Ellis thought it would.
What's the big deal? Why is there a problem if POTUS celebrate/acknowledge PRIDE month?— \ud83d\udc64 (@\ud83d\udc64) 1623329924
Did you have a comment when Trump held the pride flag up to show solidarity to the LGBT community?\n\nFor people that want everyone to follow religion, you certainly know how to turn people away.https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1402973078095904770\u00a0\u2026— Alyssa Farver (@Alyssa Farver) 1623344315
Liar and seditionist @JennaEllisEsq has an imo about Christianity?\n\n\u2018Love wins.

The irony here is that she's divorced, which is forbidden in Catholicism.— Malcom Warner (@Malcom Warner) 1623343915
Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton attend church regularly and can quote Bible verses from memory. The right wingers call them fake Christians.\n\nIt's almost enough to make you think the right wingers care about the political stances, not the faith. 2/2— 1stRepublic14thStar (@1stRepublic14thStar) 1623358727
And your just fake!!https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1402973078095904770\u00a0\u2026— John Patriot (@John Patriot) 1623392147
Ellis is a former deputy district attorney from Colorado. She currently works with conservative law firm, The Thomas More Society.
The firm filed multiple in a failed attempt to overturn the certified and repeatedly verified results of the 2020 presidential election because Donald Trump lost the popular vote. Again.
Unlike 2016 when Trump just lost the popular vote, in 2020 he also lost the electoral college vote.
Despite referring to herself as a "constitutional law attorney" outlets such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reported she's never argued a case in court.
Ellis also claims to be a devout Catholic. She criticized Biden for his support of LGBTQ+.
This fits in line with her past, where she published a book claiming the United States Constitution should be interpreted according to biblical principles.
Doesn't the Bible have some things to say about loving your neighbor and not judging others?
I don\u2019t believe Jesus would discriminate . Read or reread the Bible— jill Schlesinger (@jill Schlesinger) 1623329990
and let\u2019s set aside the separation of church and state, of person and office.— Ellis B (@Ellis B) 1623330563
Remind me of how to finish this scripture, Jenna: "Judge not, lest ye be.."\n\nAlso, remind me about Jesus' message of hatred and exclusion? https://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1402973078095904770\u00a0\u2026— Nasty Liberal (@Nasty Liberal) 1623347977
God I hope my attorney isn't ever a homophobic, bigoted piece of trash. \n\nBut still...love wins. You lose Jenna.\nhttps://twitter.com/JennaEllisEsq/status/1402973078095904770\u00a0\u2026— Dapper Cardinal (@Dapper Cardinal) 1623330916
Has the Pope empowered you to determine who is a real Catholic? Did you receive a papal commission?— David Drabkin (@David Drabkin) 1623334316
You are misguided. God said one brother should not judge their brother. \nAnd if there is doubt, in Mathew we are reassured that \n\u201eBlessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. \u201e— Kelley Marie (@Kelley Marie) 1623362246
Spare me the holier than thou speech. The guy you like has been divorced 2 times, screwed a pornstar while married and was ORDERED BY THE COURTS TO PAY BACK 1 MILLION DOLLARS THAT HE STOLE FOR A CHILDRENS CHARITY.— Jamie G. \ud83d\udc27\ud83d\udc08\ud83e\uddae\ud83c\udf0a (@Jamie G. \ud83d\udc27\ud83d\udc08\ud83e\uddae\ud83c\udf0a) 1623339645
Ellis' ability to misunderstand religion extends into the fanatical fanbase of the former President. She tried claiming earlier this year "literally no one worships Trump."
She was immediately inundated with responses proving her wrong. This included a literal golden idol made in the likeness of Trump for a conservative convention.
