Joe.My.God. LGBT News
The Detroit News reports:
Republican Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver said Monday that gay marriage should be “illegal again,” voicing opposition to a U.S. Supreme Court decision that set the standard for the nation and spurred same-sex weddings across the country nine years ago.
Schriver of Oxford made his statement on the social media platform X, 27 days after the Nov. 5 election, in which the Michigan GOP won back control of the state House, and 30 days before their majority takes office.
Because gay marriage is legal in Michigan and elsewhere through a court ruling, Schriver can’t alter the policy in his position in the state House. But his remarks likely shine light on how one member of the new majority caucus in the House will approach LGBT legislation.
Read the full article. Schriver last appeared here in February 2024 when Michigan House leaders stripped him of his committee assignments, staff, and perks after he posted a white supremacist “Great Replacement” meme. As Right Wing Watch has noted, Schriver is an apparent follower of neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes. The upraised finger seen in the screenshot below is considered a white nationalist salute by “groyper” followers of Fuentes. Shriver is fond of saying that he’s a servant of God, not government.
Make gay marriage illegal again.
This is not remotely controversial, nor extreme.

Keep you fucking religion and bigotry to yourself. You don’t like gay marriage? Great don’t marry a gay person. But, this is America. Mind your own damn business.

The Gospel doesn’t recognize bigots and bullies as Christ followers, my mean blaspheming friend.
There is no part of the Bible that you yourself live by that says being gay is a sin. Anyone who’s read the Gospels knows your piety is a vulgar fraud.
People who support Trump…

A fellow representative is saying my marriage to the man I love should be illegal.
This is definitely both controversial and extreme, along with anti-family.
I grew up believing I’d never be able to get married and I’m not going back. https://t.co/WrSb46xxgt

As I’ve been saying for months, the election of Trump emboldens & empowers these extreme Republicans. This is a clear demonstration that SOME elected Republican leaders do want to harm my family and all LGBTQ families. We must reignite the fight to protect marriage equality.

When they say they are coming for our families, let’s believe them.
We must codify marriage equality into Michigan’s Constitution.
I call on my colleagues to pass our resolution, HJR F, before the end of the year to put the question back to voters!https://t.co/9kD7Sr5pbR

Michigan state Rep. Josh Schriver is being stripped of his committees, staff, and budget after promoting the racist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory. Schriver, as RWW reported last year, also appears to be a follower of white nationalist Nick Fuentes: https://t.co/MJmPqRElk0 https://t.co/19F3oP3KWa pic.twitter.com/YlIvGEtQWU
