Charmaine Yoest
Former Assistant Secretary, Health and Human Services for Public Affairs
- Updated: April 21, 2023
—Former executive at the Family Research Council, an anti-LGBTQ organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as a hate group, and daughter of well-known anti-LGBT activist Janice Shaw Crouse
—Claims the US Supreme Court ruling overturning sodomy laws contained “no real facts” and “didn’t make sense.”
—Classifies transgender people as “wrestling with a disorder” and “trying to change reality “ (comments begin at 1:40 in clip)
—Opposes adoption by same-sex couples, insisting at length that it “is critical for a child to have both a mom and a dad” and that “social workers [are] going into a situation and taking a child who was destined for a two-parent home and deciding for politically-driven reasons to put them in a gay parenting adoption situation.”
—Appeared in an FRC robocall to urge residents of Nashville, TN, to ask their senators to reject federal hate crimes protections for LGBT people
—While working to ban marriage equality, classified the marriage debate as “homosexual activists … pushing out there this whole idea of making people’s sexual choices an issue in the public square.”
The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.
