Republicans are also trying to remove her husband from his leadership role in the party...
The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group Moms for Liberty seems to have resigned from her most recent position in the wake of rape allegations against her husband and her own involvement in a same-sex sex scandal.
Since August 2022, Bridget Ziegler has served as the director of the School Board Leadership Program at the Leadership Institute, an organization that trains conservative activists. Ziegler is no longer listed in the role on the website, and someone new appears to have been named in her place. Bridget Ziegler is also facing calls for her to resign from the Sarasota School Board.
At the same time, the Florida GOP appears to be working to expel or censure Bridget Ziegler’s husband, Christian Ziegler, from his role as chairman of the state’s Republican party. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has called on Christian Ziegler to resign, but he has refused, maintaining that the rape allegations against him are false.
Not everybody can be an atheist. When they ask where you morals come from if not from Jesus, its because they don't have any. Some people really need Jesus.
I've met plenty of people who claimed their morals came from Jesus and were still assholes. I've also met plenty of people who claimed their morals came from Jesus, and still continued to be good persons once they lost their faith.
"My morals come from Jesus" is always a rationalization: for some of their hateful behavior, for others because they're acting morally well out of instinct, but have been indoctrinated into attributing their behavior to religion.
The co-founder of the anti-LGBTQ+ extremist group...
Bridget Ziegler has since admitted to detectives that she, her husband, and her husband’s accuser were involved in a consensual sexual encounter over a year ago.
You honestly can't make this stuff up with hate group leaders. It happens all the time!
But it really does say a lot about the state of her community, if coming out gay is so hard that she needs to be anti-gay as a cover.

I don't think that's what's going on.
It sounds like her and her rapist husband had a threesome and arranged for another. Then she pulled out and the other woman said if she's out I'm out too. Then the husband ran into the other woman and raped her.
Certainly most people who rabidly hate something are hating something in themselves, but it sounds to me like her rapist husband pressured her into a threesome she wasn't into.
It makes perfect sense that religious conservatives who are also queer would be so hostile to the LGBT+ community. From their perspective, same sex attractions, gender dysphoria, or whatever are natural urges to be suppressed like anger, greed, or lazyness. Open queer people, to them, seem like flaunting criminals; getting away with murder.
Also the projected self-loathing aspect that comes along with suppressing any urge or behavior. Have you ever noticed that the most vocal anti-smoking advocates are invariably ex-smokers?
It's probably even stupider than that. They probably think, yea I'm gay, but I'm one of the good ones I'd never rape children. These people are dumb, bitter and entirely too confident in their abilities.
It's always entertaining to see that the loudest voices against something in a room are usually the ones actually partaking in what they're bitching about.
"rules for thee, not for me" to a whole new level.
1 of 2 political parties in America is basically stating "we do not care how morally bankrupt you are, if you always tow the party line, we will give you power and cover."
Your average Joe, unless they are an idiot, already sees the GOP for what it is and would stay away. But for a ghoul, the GOP seems like a great place to have certain proclivities and then the power and shield to ensure you can't be prosecuted.
Because your choice of news sources selects for a certain political group.
Remember that Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky alleged behaviour by Bill Clinton that would easily be considered sexual assault if not rape nowadays; Anthony Weiner went to prison for sexting a 15-year old. There is ton more examples of Democratic politicians that meet the same (low) standard of evidence that is shown in this article, in fact they probably mostly exist in local news articles.
Just a purely coincidental singular case of an anti-LGBTQ+ leading zealot showing it's all projection... again for the ...who does even still keep track?... time.
