Pete Hegseth Campaigned to "Uphold Traditional Marriage" During 2012 Senate Run

Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee briefly ran for Senate in 2012, ultimately accepting defeat on the primary. Hegseth’s 2012 Senate campaign platform and views on LGBTQ+ issues raise serious concerns about his suitability for such a crucial role overseeing the military.

On his Senate website, Hegseth clearly stated that he would "vote to support families, uphold traditional marriage, and defend the rights of the unborn," which underscores his opposition to same-sex marriage.

This position not only conflicts with the growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights in American society but also undermines the values of inclusion and equality that are essential for military leadership in the 21st century.

Hegseth's record on LGBTQ+ military service is equally troubling. He has consistently opposed policies that would allow openly LGBTQ+ individuals, including transgender service members, to serve in the military, and is on the record criticizing changes to Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

Says the guy who was married multiple times. Don't believe in gay marriage? Then don't marry someone of the same gender. It's pretty easy.
