Radical liberals attempt to undermine scientific truths

But today, there is a dangerous and radical movement that is now being pushed upon America's kids. It threatens the very nature of truth. Across the country, activists are advancing untested experiments and persuading kids that they can live as a girl if they're a boy, and that they can live as a boy if they're a girl. And they're telling them to pursue expensive, radical medical procedures to advance that lie. These radical liberals are attempting to undermine objective, scientific truths.

Committed to building a more equitable world

The first step to creating opportunity is recognizing that racism is endemic to our systems, impacting every part of our culture and our economy. I am committed to ensuring that the world we build as we emerge from this last year is a more equitable one. We must build back better.

Clerks have religious right to refuse gay marriage licenses

A federal judge ruled that clerks in Mississippi may not recuse themselves from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples based on religious beliefs. But Mississippi's Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, quickly slammed the ruling in a statement. "If this opinion by the federal court denies even one Mississippian of their fundamental right to practice their religion, then all Mississippians are denied their 1st Amendment rights," Reeves said.

Backs bill for marriage between one man and one woman

House Bill 1523 singles out 3 religious beliefs as worthy of protection: that marriage is between one man and one woman; that people should not have sex outside such marriages; and that a person's gender is set at birth. The law protects anyone who speaks out against gay marriage or transgenders because of these beliefs. Gov. Bryant and Lt. Gov. Reeves, two of the bill's most prominent advocates, said the state should stand by its law and appeal the ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
