GOP candidate promises to ban Pride Month because "Homosexuality and Transgenderism are evil" [View all]

Tennessee Christian conservative candidate Stewart Parks is trying to stand out amongst his nine U.S. House competitors by pledging to ban Pride Month and deliver a bunch of other far-right campaign promises.

“If you elect me, this month will be the last National Gay Pride month ever celebrated,” he wrote in a public Facebook post published June 1. “We need to elect people into US congress that will stand up and say Homosexuality and Transgenderism are evil.”

He then promised to overturn the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage and reinstate the so-called Defense of Marriage Act which enshrined anti-gay discrimination nationwide, adding, “Two men and two women cannot come close to a unified man and woman married.”

“Sexual Liberation is NOT western values,” his post continued. “LGBQT+ movement is communist as they seek to destabilize our country with their divisive rhetoric and destroy families. Transgenderism and Pedophilia are now rampant in our society. We have to ban it asap and safeguard our children against it. We have to get Transgenderism out of our schools.”
