Pompeo is a member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. V conservative theologically, socially

That's from Wikipedia articles on Pompeo and the church.

His conservative theological and social views appear to be driving his push to redefine civil rights, eg, eliminate LBGTQ people from any claim to civil rights

What other policies are they leading him to push?

Thanks for this. I had been making erroneous assumptions that he was Roman Catholic. I imagined him to be part of the ultra-conservative wing of that church, not this one. (That is another whole thing--Justice Scalia et al)

This is telling about his church: "The Wichita church joined the EPC after breaking from the Presbyterian Church (USA) over that group’s 2011 decision to allow openly gay people in same-sex relationships to be ordained as ministers, elders and deacons."
