Martina Navratilova recently expressed her outrage over the news that the wife of the newly elected House Speaker in Louisiana runs a counseling service that allegedly equates homosexuality with bestiality and incest.

Navratilova, who came out as a lesbian in 1981, has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights ever since. She is no stranger to controversy and criticism, and has faced backlash from some members of her own community for her views on transgender athletes.

The news that sparked Navratilova’s ire was reported by HuffPost which stated that Kelly Johnson, the wife of newly elected House Speaker in Louisiana Mike Johnson, runs a counseling business called Onward Christian Counseling Services. The service reportedly encourages Bible-based pastoral counseling.

The company’s website has an operating agreement which says that it believes that God dislikes sex if it is not between a married man and woman. It also says that any form of sexual wrongdoing, such as being gay, bisexual, having sex with animals or family members, watching po*n, or trying to switch one’s sex or disagreeing with one’s natural sex, is evil and offends God.

They also co-host a podcast called "Truth Be Told," where they talk about political and social issues from their perspective.

Navratilova shared the HuffPost article on X ( formerly Twitter) on Saturday, October 28, and blasted the couple for their alleged beliefs.

"So just how literal is this family about the Bible? And exactly which Bible??? Christian Sharia would be their wet dream," Navratilova wrote on X.

Martina Navratilova recently reacted to former US President Donald Trump getting a gag order for the 2020 election meddling case.

Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Trump to refrain from attacking prosecutors, the court, or possible witnesses before his trial on charges of election interference. The judge said a gag order on the ex-US President was needed to avoid any attempts to damage the credibility of the trial.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the probe, asked for this gag order because he feared that Trump’s remarks could influence those involved in the trial.

Navratilova responded to the news and shared her thoughts on social media.

"Oops," Navratilova posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Martina Navratilova also recently reacted with amusement to reports claiming that Trump faced derogatory remarks from his own Republican legal team.
