Republican Florida Representative Mike Hill facing calls for resignation

This is a hate crime.Time to stop this hate. Demand for Hill to step down. Don't vote for this thing who says he's a Good Christian. He's a evil man like Hitler.

According to their Christianity they are suppose to love thy neighbor and according to the Christian Bible Jesus was never married and hung out with all men. Wonder if he was Gay? And if G-d created men and women in his own image maybe God was a cross dresser or gay, lesbian, transsexual or fluid gender.

We are now discovering those who protest so much in Congress against the LGBTQAI+ community are latent Homosexuals. Hill are you one of them?

Republican Rep. Mike Hill thinks it’d be funny to kill all gay people

He also believes that Pride parades promote "the gay agenda" and that God is judging America for "the homosexual movement."

Homophobic Florida Representative Mike Hill recently laughed when a constituent suggested he introduce legislation condemning gay people to death.

The Pensacola News Journal reports:

A citizen comments: “In 1 Corinthians, it says that a man who has an affair with another man will be put to death.”

Hill’s response?

“It says that in the Old Testament, too.”

Another attendee asks, “Can you introduce legislation?”

Chuckles are audible. The state representative joins the laughter. “I wonder how that would go over?” Hill says.

It’s unsurprising that Hill would find such a suggestion worthy of laughter. In the past, he has said that God is judging the nation because of the “homosexual movement,” he says that Pride parades “promote the gay agenda” and he once suggested, “Let’s replace LGBTQ with a ‘?’ That covers the whole thing.”

In a subsequent series of tweets, Hill tried to defend himself, writing:

Fake news, Carlos! And you know it. I never said I wanted to kill anyone! Instead, I am being attacked because I have made a strong stand to protect the preborn in the womb. You should focus on doing your job better instead of every word that proceeds out of my mouth. #Obsession.

[I said I didn’t recall laughing or the comment] before I heard the audio. This event happened a week ago Thursday. I laughed at the nonsense of running legislation that the gentleman in the audience suggested. And you know it. Don’t join the #FakeNewsMedia

If you listened to the audio and still come to that conclusion [that I support killing gay people], then you really are a partisan hack.

[My resignation] ain’t gonna happen! Your attacks are because I don’t back down from strong conservative values including protecting the preborn!

Hill might be interested to know that the Bible might have originally been okay with gay sex.

Florida Representative Mike Hill facing calls for resignation

TAMPA (WFLA) - Pensacola State Representative Mike Hill is coming under fire from Florida Democrats and some members of his own party for an exchange he had with a constituent who suggested Hill should sponsor legislation that would make homosexuality punishable by death. 

While Hill didn’t agree with the suggestion, he’s been accused of not being critical enough and laughing during the exchange.

“A statement that just came out of the audience, I tried to brush it aside,” said Hill.

Hill said the exchange has been misrepresented.

“There was no way at all that I condoned or even said the words that gays should be executed,” said Hill. "That's just absurd.”

Some Republican’s, including House Speaker Jose Oliva, took to Twitter and called on Hill to apologize saying in part, “I believe he owes his colleagues an apology and he owes the Republican caucus a better example of political courage.”

Representative Hill has not apologized. 

Instead, he has said he’s the victim of a 'social media lynching'.
“They know I'm a Christian,” said Hill. "They know that I am true to my convictions and they know that I am going to bring the heartbeat detection bill to this next legislative session.”

Democratic Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith said Hill should resign or be ousted from the Legislature.

“As a gay man who has survived anti-gay hate violence myself... this is completely unacceptable,” said Smith.

A rally has been scheduled in Pensacola Monday evening demanding Hill’s resignation.

Hill said he has received violent threats since the Pensacola News Journal first ran the story this weekend andhas threatened legal action against the paper if any of the threats come to fruition.
