Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert is no stranger to making outlandish and unverifiable claims about LGBT people.

Well, looks like the Sad Puppies have their very own congresscritter. So you see, THIS is what happens when you let children read Heinlein at a formative age. Make 'm read Ursula K. LeGuin, N.K. Jemisin, and Anne Leckie instead.

Late to the post, but this is making me laugh my ass off. I needed that today, so thank you.

Good to know Gomert envisions mankind one day having the technology to colonize and make habitable other planets, but not applying that technology to fix this planet's problems nor move past using women as breeding chattel.

This guy is full of it in more ways than we can count! According to Wikipedia, he's a Southern Baptist. In addition to his rabid homophobia, he's been known to rail against Obama's so-called "hate crimes against Christians" and once hijacked a House hearing to debate whether non-Christians go to hell. A nice little run down of some of his "greatest hits" can be found hereIN OTHER WORDS: He's a right wing fundamentalist asshat, one of those people who drive around with stickers on their cars that say, "In case of Rapture this car will be unmanned," because they believe that Jesus is going to come back any minute and fix everything. Which means he's lying through his teeth pretending to care about the extinction of the human race or our ability to colonize other planets, and he's just inventing "issues" about which he does not give one tiny rat's ass to use as excuses to harp on his hatred of LGBTQ folks
