Dems explode after GOP congressman says transgender people are an insult to God - Raw Story - Celebrating 16 Years of Independent Journalism
Quote:During a House debate ahead of a vote on the passage of the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) took the floor and announced that he was going to start out his speech with "the truth."
He then read from Deuteronomy 22:5 in the Bible.
"A woman must not wear men's clothing nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this," he read aloud.
"Now, this verse isn't concerned about clothing styles, but with people determining their own sexual identities," he said. "It's not clothing or personal style that offends God, but rather the use of one's appearance to act out or take on a sexual identity different from the one biologically assigned by God at birth."
