Robert Oscar Lopez is a professor of Humanities at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He’s become most well-known for his article, published in 2012, on what it was like to be raised by homosexual parents. Most recently, Lopez spoke out against the Equality Act.
In this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Lopez begins by sharing his experiences after he published his article speaking out about the dangers of growing up in a homosexual household. Using the best available research at the time, Lopez expanded on the high rates of suicide, sexual abuse, and dependence on government assistance in those who had been raised by a parent in a same-sex relationship. The response after it was first published was more respectful than anything. However, as it gained popularity, Lopez quickly had to switch to defense.
“The mean fringe just blanketed social media, and they drowned out everything else. They dug up as much information about me as they could. Then they quickly went after doxing my family members; trying to figure out who my friends and family were… They were vicious,” he said.
Van Maren used the second half of this episode to ask Lopez about his opinion on the Equality Act. For a while now, most Conservatives have taken a back seat on this issue, not wanting to be seen as a bigot or too old-fashioned. However, Lopez postulates that this act will essentially “nullify all of the anti-abortion laws because of the whole section in there on pregnancy.”
Lopez also said that, in addition, the act might move us toward abolishing all sex-segregation in bathrooms, based on the language in the Equality Act.
