Jeff Ssns, Donald Tmp’s pick to be Uned Stat attorney general, lnched a public mpaign as Alabama attorney general 1996 to prevent a gay rights group om holdg a nference at the Universy of Alabama, acrdg to a KFile review of ntemporaneo prs acunts and legal filgs. He dubbed the Supreme Court’s 2015 cisn legalizg gay marriage an “effort to secularize, by force and timidatn.
As Alabama’s attorney general 1996, Ssns attempted to stop the Southeastern Lbian, Gay, Bisexual College Conference om meetg at the Universy of Alabama unr a state law passed 1992 that ma illegal for public universi to fund any way a group that promot “actns prohibed by the sodomy and sexual misnduct laws. The stated missn of the Southeastern Lbian, Gay, Bisexual College Conference was to te and start a dialogue about the LGBT muny. Wh Jeff Ssns as our attorney general, I don’t want to see refoced on thgs our untry has already settled, like whether or not gay marriage should be legal or whether we should take refuge and immigrants.
I didn't know any gay people, though I am sure I was surround by them. Why weren't more people my life gay?
