Story 1 & 2: Rep. Andy Ogles — "Homosexuality Has No Place in America" Republican Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN) posted on his official congressional X account on Tuesday: "Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy Nuclear Family Month." The post was deleted and Ogles blamed a staffer. Republicans including Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) condemned the statement, with Lawler calling it "absolutely idiotic." Former Rep. George Santos, who is openly gay, responded that he deserves the same civil rights as any American.
