A woman.
Mere months before Jonathan Saenz became president of the anti-gay group Texas Values, his wife left him for another woman, according to Hays County district court records obtained by Lone Star Q.
In Jonathan Saenz's defense, he IS a total
asshat.
In 2010, conservatives on the Texas Board of Education implemented new social studies standards that heralded American capitalism, cast doubt on the founders' vision of a secular republic, and promoted teaching of "the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schlafly, the Contract With America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority and the National Rifle Association." Saenz, then Liberty Council's director of legislative affairs, was a prominent supporter of the conservatives' revamped standards, calling it "untrue and factually and historically inaccurate" that the Constitution separates church and state.
Since his divorce, Saenz has moved onto working with Texas Values where he says things about non-discrimination laws against the LGBT like
they will let sexual predators molest women and children in bathrooms. He also says that marriage equality will
lead to people marrying their step-children.
Why his ex-wife left him? We may never know. But one thing is clear: you can't be a sadder sack than Jonathan Saenz.
