'I'm gay': Mormon Republican lawmaker in Utah comes out

Utah County Commissioner Nathan Ivie speaks during a news conference in Provo, Utah on June 14, 2018.Republican lawmaker Nathan Ivie says it took him more than 20 years to come to terms with his identity.

Many residents of Utah County, which is south of Salt Lake City and includes the church-owned Brigham Young University, are members of the church. “That really makes you reevaluate your life, and what you’re doing as a leader to prevent that kind of stuff,” Ivie said.

NBCOUT That may be true, but I don't get it. Why belong to a Party that wants to take away your civil rights?

NBCOUT Do you want applause or a trophy? Who cares what your sexual orientation is? WHAT IS YOUR POINT?

NBCOUT No you can’t! Republicans have enabled hate groups that specifically target the LGBTQ community & individuals. Allowing discrimination, retaliation, humiliation & physical violence! Supporting them is like shooting yourselves in the head!

NBCOUT Yea, just like how you can be a cat AND a bug attached in one. 😒 He obviously doesn't know what 'republican' means.

NBCOUT Yes, that is called 'hypocrisy'. Repooplicans HATE gays, other races, helping anyone (but themselves) & they hate anyone who's different than them. It's more of an old fashioned, religion extremist, narcissist political party.

NBCOUT Your sexual preference is your fundamental right & anyone who does not respect that must be a Republican.

NBCOUT I can totally support his coming out as gay, half my family are Mormons, but being a Republican in the Trump era is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Nope. Not in America. You cannot be gay and be a Republican. GOP cannot wait to slaughter the gay people.

NBCOUT i support gay rights. I am evangelical and I’m tired of my fellow followers using Jesus to condem rather than teach about salvation. I’m educated, old & white. You think that makes me stronger? Absurd. Who cares about orientation. They are people too, and stronger than most.

NBCOUT I don’t think this will go how he thinks it will.

NBCOUT Zamasu_Kira thses replies are sad

NBCOUT A gay republican? Now I’ve heard everything. This tops everything tRump has ever said!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT love the gay republicans

NBCOUT So now, the “tolerant” Left is going to tell this gay man what he can and cannot believe. Yea, total allies of the LGBT movement my ass.

NBCOUT You can be gay and Republican. Being Republican is a choice and approaching a sin

NBCOUT we dont care. fake news msnbc sucks

NBCOUT Tell that to the evangelicals that support trump. They will crucify you if they could.

NBCOUT Yeah, good luck with that...

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Don’t worry Republicans, he’s still racist!

NBCOUT You can be gay and a Democrat but I'm not so sure the 'good Christian evangelicals' in the Republican party will be too understanding. Just ask Pence.

NBCOUT No u can't

NBCOUT President Trump has released a memo, giving Attorney General William Barr the power to declassify materials related to the probes into 2016 campaigns. Green Light! The public Will find out how MSNBC misled them.

NBCOUT A true Christian will not hate you because you are gay. Just because we don’t agree with that lifestyle we still treat people with respect. Try it & you will feel better!

NBCOUT Well, alrighty then! Let’s get this party STARTED. President Trump on Thursday said at the request of Attorney General Barr, he has given the AG “full and complete authority” to declassify materials related to 2016 Presidential Election.

NBCOUT good luck

NBCOUT So late.

NBCOUT Good luck with that.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Good for you pal. Now go introduce yourself to McDonald tRump realDonaldTrump & VP & TuckerCarlson

NBCOUT Maybe you can be gay and a Republican. But Buddy, good luck being gay, Republican and Mormon all at the same time. I see excommunication in your future.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT I know LOTS of gay Republicans. They just dont like the homophobic slurs from the left when calling them traitors.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Wow look at all the hate spewed by the left here.

NBCOUT When is his next election because I promise he won't win in that state

NBCOUT .......Aaaaaand he’s fired.

NBCOUT White privilege knows no bound...

NBCOUT Good luck with that!!

NBCOUT And you guys quote this nonsense because ... why? Comments? Clicks? Shares? Next, why don't you post a Mike Pence 'freedom of religion' tweet?

NBCOUT Don't republicans hate gay people though?

NBCOUT Gay Republicans - it's like roaches for Raid. It never ads up.

NBCOUT Better get used to being disappointed

NBCOUT I love you❤❤

NBCOUT You can also be a woman and Republican, but should you?

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Lmao that's like saying you can be a Black KKK member. He should do stand up

NBCOUT I'm glad I don't have to see what's going on in THIS guy's brain.

NBCOUT Oh god no the last thing we need

NBCOUT Well you need to tell other Republicans.

NBCOUT Good luck with that.

NBCOUT Said the most naive person alive....

Romney on Mueller report: 'Really, really troubling,’ but Americans ‘just aren’t there’ on impeachmentSen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Sunday that he disagrees with the call for President Trump's impeachment issued by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich. Mitt Romney failed to beat obama in 2012 simply because Mitt Romney is a member of the washington dc elite and voters could not see any difference between Mitt Romney and obama. obama was the worst president, EVER, and Mitt Romney could not beat obama. Mitt proves that he will be always a “party ahead of country” guy. Glad he lost his presidency bid Only trouble is..Trump is out performing much of what dems did/did not do. They all wanna jump in and take credit. Dems just bash. Maybe if they would have taken care of Americans. Trump trying. Doing better than all the 'experienced politicians' it eats at them.

Trump lashes out at Republican lawmaker who says he committed impeachable offensesTrump blasts Rep. Justin Amash, who broke party ranks to say the Mueller report points to impeachable offenses. He also criticizes Alabama abortion ban. Right on time. We were just waiting for the predictable from the beached baby whale. These guys are slow, but not stupid. Trump's a temp & they could feasibly stay in office 20 + years. It's to THEIR benefit to oust a corrupt POTUS. There literally is no downside for either party to ImpeachTrump, especially if they can accomplish it by end of year. What a Joke,,,,,,,,,,it's good to see you people siding up with these 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩's ,,,,,,,,,,,It shows what your about !
