—Referred to gender confirmation surgery as “surgical mutilation.”
—Said the Iowa Supreme Court decision saying that banning marriage equality violated the state constitution was “gobbledygook.”
—Used a famous quotation about prostitution to describe Elena Kagan’s opposition to the former “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
—Promoted the idea that adoption by gay couples (or straight couples) is not “ideal” and that children raised by gay parents are comparable to children affected by their parents’ death or divorce.
—Accused Justice Vaughn Walker of “harbor(ing) a deep-seated animus against traditional marriage.”
—Supported the idea that, in relation to protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination, “‘discrimination’ is ‘just another word for decision-making.’”
