Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

There were times when we wondered if House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) would ever speak at VVS again. But next week, the miraculous recovery of my good friend will literally take center stage, as Steve makes a return trip to the biggest gathering of pro-family conservatives in the country after a shooting that rocked the country. For so many Americans, seeing him back at work, defending our values, has been an answer to prayer — and we look forward to celebrating his incredible journey back to health next Friday, October 13.

While a member of the Louisiana legislature and as his website proudly notes, Steve Scalise authored his state’s successful 2004 ban on same-sex marriage. He continued his crusade in the US House, authoring and sponsoring numerous anti-marriage bills, including a 2014 attempt to allow states to override any federal rulings on same-sex marriage rights.
