A right-wing Michigan state senator just accused one of her Democratic colleagues -- by name -- of being a "groomer" in a fundraising email. Simply because Democrat Mallory McMorrow supports LGBTQ families and rights, Republican Lana Theis shamefully claimed McMorrow “sexualizes" young children.
If you've ever wondered how to respond to these hateful far-right smears and lies, McMorrow showed how in a floor speech that's gone viral. Speaking with conviction, she shared her personal story and Christian faith, called out Theis for her performative Christianity, highlighted neglected issues like roads and education, and called on other "straight, white, married, Christian, suburban moms" to also stand against hatred.
For too long, the far-right has tried to claim a hateful monopoly on Christianity in the public eye. Faithful America's grassroots members are changing the media's narrative, and we applaud Senator McMorrow for using her faith to make a difference for love, equality, and LGBTQ children.
McMorrow told MSNBC that not one of her Republican Senate colleagues has told her they reject Thies's remarks. Let's show her that she's not alone, and that a nationwide movement of grassroots Christians joins her in rejecting the religious right's hatred.
Love thy neighbor.
