The Republican lieutenant governor of North Carolina has said he will not resign or back down over remarks in which he called transgenderism and homosexuality “filth”.
Mark Robinson, the first African American to hold the post, made the remarks in question at Asbury Baptist church in Seagrove, North Carolina, in June.
“There’s no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth,” he said, in video posted to social media.
“And yes, I called it filth, and if you don’t like that I called it filth, come see me and I’ll explain it to you.”
Condemnation extended to the Biden White House. » | Martin Pengelly | Sunday, October 10, 2021
