"Not anymore. Mace, who is now running for governor of South Carolina, appeared to declare her opposition to rights for cisgender gay, lesbian, and bisexual people on X. "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," she wrote, using a very old anti-gay slogan used to accuse gay people of being unnatural and against the Bible. Her about-face is recent. Just last year, a transgender user of X told her that she is "going to be against gay rights as soon as it becomes socially advantageous""
"Mace appeared to deny the accusation on November 24, 2024. "Votes for gay marriage twice in fact," she responded, referring to her two rollcall votes in support of the Respect for Marriage Act, which required state governments and the federal government to recognize same-sex married couples in the event the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell v. Hodges. "Couldn't make it even a year," another X quipped yesterday."
Nancy Mace has opposed transgender rights while previously claiming support for equal rights for cisgender queer people. She is running for governor of South Carolina. She posted "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" on X, an old anti-gay slogan accusing gay people of being unnatural and against the Bible. A transgender user on X earlier predicted Mace would oppose gay rights when socially advantageous after Mace differentiated trans rights from gay rights. Mace denied the accusation on November 24, 2024, citing two rollcall votes for the Respect for Marriage Act. The Act required recognition of same-sex marriages if Obergefell were overturned.
