Oldest Duggar Boy to Testify Against Gay Marriage Next Week in Indiana as Exective Director of Family Research Council Action

It seems popular to get after the "Duck Dynasty" guys, but the real reality TV family that deserves the scorn of the LGBT communities is the Duggar family from TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" reality show. The Duggars have actively campaigned in Iowa and elsewhere for anti-gay politicians because they are anti-gay politicians. Papa Duggar is on record for wanting the Girl Scouts to toss out a trans girl. And their oldest son, Josh Duggar, is an executive director for the Family Research Council -- because apparently you only need a GED to work in politics.

Speaking of him, Josh Duggar is traveling to Indiana on Monday the 27th to participate in a joint news conference between FRC Action, the American Family Association of Indiana, and the Indiana Family Institute. They plan to advocate in favor of a constitutional amendment to ban legal recognition of same-sex marriages in Indiana. Duggar and the others plan to "speak to the consequences of redefining marriage and its detrimental impact on the freedoms and livelihoods of wedding vendors and those in other professions who for religious or moral convictions will not recognize the redefinition of marriage."

Keep in mind that Indiana, unlike states like Colorado or Iowa or Oregon, doesn't have statewide nondiscriminatory laws that protect LGBT people from discrimination. That means that many of their complaints will be baseless.

Then again, I never understood the desire of Christian business owners who actively seek to turn away business from LGBT people -- especially those like the Christian cake-makers on the west coast whose religious beliefs prevented them from making gay wedding cakes, but not divorce cakes, or winter Solstice cakes, or animal wedding cakes, etc.

Duggar will be sharing the stage with folks like Peter Sprigg (someone who's previously advocated for the criminalizing of and deportation of LGBT people), and Micah Clark & Curt Smith (two ex-gay proponents). Which should make for an interesting press conference. So if you are one who gets upset when you hear reality TV people make inflammatory remarks about LGBT people and our families, you will definitely want to check out Josh Duggar's press conference on Monday morning!
