Heresy: Booker References Bible on SIN

In a CNN hosted town hall on LGBTQ+ issues with Democratic presidential candidates Thursday, Sen. Cory Booker made a reference to the Bible to answer a question about LGBTQ+ rights, saying that as a Christian, he has had to cope with “juxtaposing issues of religious freedom and LGBTQ rights.”

A UCLA student, previously attending an all-girls Catholic high school, said in the town hall that her school regularly refused to allow the creation and existence of a LGBTQ+ club.

“It said in Micah, ‘What do you want from your Lord, but what is it you want from your people?’ Which is to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly – walk humbly – and, so for me, I cannot allow, as a leader, that people are going to use religion as a justification for discrimination,” Booker said in his reply.

“I can respect your religious views but also protect people from discrimination. … My faith, as well as my American values, will make me fight on every front to make sure that people are not discriminating against someone because of who they are,” the senator added.
