This Michigan lawmaker wants to 'Make Gay Marriage Illegal Again'
Raw Story, By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement, on December 3, 2024
https://www.rawstory.com/this-michigan-lawmaker-wants-to-make-gay-marriage-illegal-again/
Josh Schriver, a Michigan state representative, is advocating for a regressive agenda by attempting to outlaw same-sex marriage in the state. Claiming to be Michigan's "most conservative" representative, his efforts reflect a performative stance rather than a genuine political strategy, as even his own staff resigned en masse following his controversial proposals. Public backlash aligns with national statistics showing 69% of Americans opposing such a ban, highlighting Schriver's miscalculation of societal and political support. His rhetoric extends beyond marriage equality, targeting transgender rights, reproductive health, and gender-affirming care, all under the guise of personal moral convictions often rooted in conservative religious beliefs.
The discussion highlighted how personal beliefs, particularly religious ones, can dangerously influence political decisions.
Cindy argued that such stances stem from a combination of entitlement and a superiority complex, as politicians like Schriver actively seek to revoke rights already established for over a decade. She also emphasized the broader consequences of normalized bigotry, drawing parallels to the aftermath of Trump’s election in 2016, which emboldened similar hate-filled rhetoric.
AJ expanded on this, stressing that religious dogma must remain separate from public service, as imposing these beliefs erodes individual freedoms.
Yet, Rob countered that while such compartmentalization is ideal, it’s often unrealistic given how deeply religious convictions shape moral worldviews. He proposed that societal education and early prevention are critical to avoiding these regressive ideologies in governance. The panel concluded by discussing the alarming potential for these backward policies to erode societal norms and legal rights. Schriver’s actions represent a broader, dangerous trend of using fear and hatred against marginalized groups as a political tool, exacerbating divisions and rolling back decades of progress.
