NEW YORK, NY — (12-04-23) — After making history by being the first openly gay Republican congressman to be kicked out of congress, George Santos slams Gay marriage on his own 2nd wedding anniversary.

Last week in a sit-down with a group of reporters on Capitol Hill, the day before his historic expulsion from Congress, the openly gay scandal-plagued Republican took a swipe at what the majority of this country consider to be the foremost achievement of the LGBTQ rights movement, gay marriage.

“I was an opposer of gay marriage,” said George Santos in response to a question about his relationships with more conservative House Republicans.

The ironic thing is when he said it, it happened to be during the time of his two-year anniversary with husband Matt.

George Santos said that he entered into a gay marriage “because that was the option,” but did not believe it should be called “marriage” and that the government should not be involved in the institution of marriage.” said Santos.

Santos further added that…”I thought it should have been a civil union,” said Santos, referring to the alternative to fully-recognized marriage that some proposed prior to the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015.

“It would have given us the same benefits, the same rights under the law. Making it marriage was never the business of the government,” added Santos. “I’m not saying I oppose just gay marriage. I oppose marriage by the government in general. To force that on society was a problem. That is why we’re still debating, right?” concluded Santos.

The disgraced former congressman is currently charged with Conspiracy, Wire Fraud, False Statements, Falsification of Records, Aggravated Identity Theft, and Credit Card Fraud. His trial is scheduled to begin in September of 2024.
