The Hill reports:
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) introduced a resolution Friday that would formally recognize and celebrate diverse family units across the nation. The introduction of the resolution, which Garcia’s office said is a “direct response” to comments made during a House hearing last month by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that suggested non-biological mothers are not actual mothers, comes on the eve of Mother’s Day weekend.
Greene repeatedly claimed that American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, who is a stepmother, is “not a mother” during an April 26 hearing. Garcia’s “Honoring All Families” resolution affirms Congress’s support for all types of families — especially LGBTQ families and families who adopt — as legitimate and deserving of recognition and respect.
Read the full article. Garcia, a freshman and the former mayor of Long Beach, California, is openly gay.
Marjorie continues to attack adoptive moms and moms by marriage. So I’ve submitted a House resolution uplifting all families as we approach Mother’s Day. Let’s get her and her extreme colleagues on the record and see if they support all moms. https://t.co/uDplaWkh8X

Marjorie Taylor Greene says that adopted or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She just told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.” pic.twitter.com/wrlMLZW9NV
