Haters Appointed To Iowa Civil Rights Commission

The Des Moines Register reports:

In a 34-16 vote on party lines, the Senate confirmed Cheryl Elsloo to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission that enforces the state’s anti-discrimination law and Whitney Smith McIntosh to the Human Rights Board, which serves underrepresented groups across the state.

Elsloo has been a lobbyist with Protect My Innocence, which bills itself as a nonprofit group that defends the innocence of Iowa minors. One Iowa called it an anti-LGBTQ hate group. She has lobbied in favor of earlier versions of legislation to remove gender identity as a protected class from the Iowa Civil Rights Act, criminalize bringing minors to drag shows and amend the Iowa Constitution to end same-sex marriage.

One Iowa said Smith McIntosh has a “history of making hurtful, inflammatory statements against LGBTQ Iowans.” She liked an image on Facebook from June 2022 that shows fire raining down on a city with the text “Fireworks in honor of Pride Month.” The image appears to depict the Biblical story of God destroying Sodom and Gomorrah.
