Out Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is the first out LGBTQ+ Republican elected to the U.S. House, but that doesn’t mean he has much respect for other LGBTQ+ people. A recently uncovered interview from his previous, failed campaign to represent New York’s Third Congressional District shows him ranting for two minutes about how the lack of heterosexual parents is destroying “the family unit,” parroting debunked talking points that conservatives have been using for decades to attack same-sex couples who adopt and raise children.
Santos went so far as to say that children need both a father and a mother or else they will grow up to be “troubled individuals,” one of the main reasons conservatives have used to attack same-sex couples’ rights to get married, adopt, and even raise their own children. He also said that kids shouldn’t hear about LGBTQ+ or single-parent families in schools because that teaches them their families are “OK.”
On John Stubbins’s conservative Indivisible show on September 4, 2020, he said that the family unit has been under attack for decades. Santos’s point of view is not supported by evidence. Studies on children raised by same-sex couples have found that they do just as well and sometimes even better on certain measures, like academic performance.
Santos also made it a point to attack the Respect for Marriage Act last year even though he wasn’t in Congress
