Jim Jordan
U.S. Representative from Ohio
- Updated: October 6, 2023
—Voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and requires the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States. Jordan claims that the act wasn’t necessary because the Supreme Court is not going to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that legalized marriage equality in all 50 states. He also claimed the bill was an attempt to delegitimize the Supreme Court. The law went into effect in December 2022.

—Accused by former wrestlers he coached more than two decades ago at Ohio State University of failing to stop the team doctor from molesting them and other students.
—Led the House Republicans in debate against the Equality Act, a bill to expand anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people. He entered into the record the statement against the legislation from Log Cabin Republicans, which called the bill “insidious” and described the “extreme changes it will make would irreparably harm America…”
—Introduced a bill in 2009 that would disallow Washington, D.C., from recognizing gay marriages performed legally elsewhere, in response to D.C.’s city council voting to recognize those marriages.
—Named in HRC’s “Hall of Shame” in 2014, a report that identifies “elected officials as the most anti-equality members of Congress by looking at their voting records in this and previous Congresses, their introduction and co-sponsorships of anti-LGBT legislation, and their public statements.”
— Led the fight to try to block the District of Columbia from recognizing same-sex marriages.
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.
