Moreover, the tweet also covers transgenderism, abortion, contraception, and masturbation or porn. Brantley Millegan tweeted, “homosexual acts are evil. Transgenderism doesn’t exist. Abortion is murder. Contraception is perversion. So is porn.”
The ENS announced remarks were,
“Brantly has been a valued team member of TNL for the past three years. However, as a team, we felt that his position with TNL is no longer tenable.
“Many of you were hurt by Brantly’s comments over the past 24 hours, and we strongly believe that ENS should be an inclusive community. Going forward we’ll continue to do everything we can to ensure that remains the case.”
After all the public backlash and ENS community reservations, Millegan still hasn’t apologized. According to him, he made his statement due to his core religious beliefs. The former ENS member claimed his beliefs again on Discord, stating he is open-minded and has a diverse social circle.
