Congressman Jim Jordan, known for his support for former President Donald Trump and opposition to LGBTQ rights, had help Thursday from an LGBTQ organization on the House floor in denouncing the Equality Act. Jordan, who led the Republicans in debate in against the bill to expand anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people, entered into the record the statement against the legislation from Log Cabin Republicans, which had issued a e-blast moments before debate on the “frightening truth” about the Equality Act. Jordan said “I include in the record a statement from the Log Cabin Republicans opposing the legislation on the floor today.” The Log Cabin statement that ended up in the congressional record Friday is the same as the eblast that went out to supporters and was signed by Charles Moran, managing director for Log Cabin Republicans. LCR said “We opposed this legislation in the past, and we oppose it as it stands today. This is a partisan piece of legislation — it has no Republican cosponsors in the House. And the insidious nature of the extreme changes it will make would irreparably harm America and all of the accomplishments we’ve worked so hard for over the last few decades.” Moran hedges by stating Log Cabin “is not now, nor will it ever retreat on our commitment for equality for the LGBT community — the transgender community included,” but ultimately concludes the Equality Act “goes to an extreme level to eliminate the concept of gender, which is absurd, dangerous and way out of the mainstream.” Moran, asked by the Washington Blade to comment on Jordan entering the Log Cabin statement into the record, said via email he “knew in advance” that would happen is OK with it.
The Washington Blade ask Moran about Jordans actions and he said he knew in advance and was ok with it. He went farther to say “Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene actually was the one who approached him about it, as she has a very solid relationship with our Atlanta Log Cabin chapter and GA Log Cabin leadership.”
