The Independent reports:
A Republican congressman sparked anger when he suggested that transgender people are an “offence” to God.
Florida lawmaker Greg Steube made the controversial comment during a debate in the House on the passage of the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender equality.
The GOP member told the House he would begin his speech by giving them the “truth” as he read from Deuteronomy 22:5 in the Bible. “A woman must not wear men’s clothing nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this,” he read.
Read the full article. Steube, first elected in 2018, was among the House reps who signed onto an amicus brief calling for overturning Biden’s win.
