Tim Huelskampf throws tantrum after losing...

Anti-LGBT Congressman Tim Huelskamp Loses Re-Election

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 8/3/2016 11:00 am

Last night, Kansas Republican Tim Huelskamp lost his race for re-election to a primary challenger who said that the three-term congressman’s tense relationship with House leadership was detrimental to the congressional district.

While LGBT issues did not play a major role in the campaign, Huelskamp’s hardline anti-LGBT stances made him a favorite of the Religious Right.

At a 2014 National Organization for Marriage rally, he told “real men” to “stand up” against same-sex marriage in order to protect “your woman” and warned that marriage equality would “destroy the institution of marriage and of [the] family.”

Huelskamp even appeared in an insane anti-gay documentary directed by activist Janet Porter and has repeatedly claimed that marriage equality is harmful to children and amounts to an attack on Jesus Christ.
