—Claims, at the US Department of State’s Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, that the Obama administration’s efforts to enact foreign policy that discourages homophobia was “religious persecution.”
—Co-sponsored South Carolina’s marriage ban.
—Joined a letter calling on the Obama administration to enforce the discriminatory, so-called Defense of Marriage Act.
—Added his name to a letter questioning the Obama Administration’s transgender guidance.
—Indicated on a 2010 Christian Coalition survey that he is a supporter of a “Federal Marriage Amendment to prevent same sex marriage”
—His 2008 state senate race featured a robocall, purporting to be from a made-up group called the Alliance for the Advancement of Gays and Lesbians, which gay-baited his opponent for her support of “homosexual unions and abortion rights.” (Mulvaney later distanced himself from the call.)
—Co-sponsor of the so-called First Amendment Defense Act, designed to allow anti-LGBTQ people to discriminate for religious reasons without any recourse.
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.
