Gay Nephew Calls Out Rep For Lies About Marriage Bill

“Aunt Vicky, that’s just not right. Institutions of faith like religious universities are not being silenced.

“They’re being empowered by the U.S. government to discriminate against tens of thousands of LGBTQ students because of religious exemptions, but they still receive federal funding.

“It’s more like you want the power to force your religious beliefs onto everyone else and because you don’t have that power you feel like you’re being silenced, but you’re not.” – Andrew Hartzler, nephew of GOP Rep. Vicky Hartzler, in a video posted to TikTok.

Earlier this year Politico published a lengthy profile of Andrew Hartzler. The piece examines his role in a class action lawsuit seeking to end the Title IX exemption that allows religious universities to receive federal funding despite defying laws against anti-LGBTQ discrimination.

RELATED: Rep. Vicky Hartzler is one of the most vicious opponents of LGBT rights in the US House, which is saying something. She appeared on JMG in 2019 when she hosted ex-gay torture advocates in her office next door to Rep. Ted Lieu, who had just introduced a bill to ban the practice. That same year she publicly pressured Amazon to resume selling books by the now-dead Joseph Nicolosi, the so-called father of ex-gay torture. Before being elected to Congress, Hartzler headed the Missouri Coalition to Protect Marriage, which in 2004 backed the successful campaign to install a statewide constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Hartzler has compared same-sex marriage to incest and pedophilia. In 2020, she was among the 146 GOP House reps who voted to overturn the presidential election.
