New House Speaker Mike Johnson's wife runs a counseling service that equates being gay to bestiality and incest.
Kelly Johnson features the couple's podcast on the website of her company, Onward Christian Counseling Services, which promotes Bible-based pastoral counseling. Her website also includes a link to its 2017 operating agreement, which lays out the corporate bylaws for the company -- and embraces a number of socially conservative beliefs about LGBTQ+ people and women's reproductive rights.
The agreement states that Onward Christian Counseling Services is grounded in the belief that sex is offensive to God if it is not between a man and a woman married to each other. It puts being gay, bisexual or transgender in the same category as someone who has sex with animals or family members, calling all of these examples of "sexual immorality."
"We believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one's sex, or disagreement with one's biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God," says the eight-page business document.The agreement states that life should be protected, beginning at conception.
Speaker Johnson notarized the agreement for his wife on July 1, 2017.
Incidentally, Johnson and his wife have started deleting past episodes of their podcast, called "Truth Be Told."
