The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group Moms for Liberty seems to have resigned from her most recent position in the wake of rape allegations against her husband and her own involvement in a same-sex sex scandal.
Since August 2022, Bridget Ziegler has served as the director of the School Board Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists. Ziegler is no longer listed in the role on the website, and someone new appears to have been named in her place. Bridget Ziegler is also facing calls for her to resign from the Sarasota School Board.
At the same time, the Florida GOP appears to be working to expel or censure Bridget Ziegler’s husband, Christian Ziegler, from his role as chairman of the state’s Republican party. Gov. Ron DeSantis ® has called on Christian Ziegler to resign, but he has refused, maintaining that the rape allegations against him are false.
It makes perfect sense that religious conservatives who are also queer would be so hostile to the LGBT+ community. From their perspective, same sex attractions, gender dysphoria, or whatever are natural urges to be suppressed like anger, greed, or lazyness. Open queer people, to them, seem like flaunting criminals; getting away with murder.
Also the projected self-loathing aspect that comes along with suppressing any urge or behavior. Have you ever noticed that the most vocal anti-smoking advocates are invariably ex-smokers?
