Is George Santos gay? Learn all there is to know about the Republican candidate’s sexual orientation, as well as who he is married to.
George Santos is an American politician who served as the U.S. representative for New York’s 3rd congressional district from January to December 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected to Congress in 2022 after running unsuccessfully in 2020. He was expelled from Congress on December 1, 2023, making Santos the sixth person to be expelled in the history of the House.
While Santos is mostly infamous for his expulsion from the White House, many people often ask about whether he is gay or not. As it turns out, we have all the answers. As it turns out, yes, Santos is indeed gay. In fact, Santos became the first openly LGBT member elected to Congress as a non-incumbent Republican.
What is known about George Santos’ personal life?
Santos grew up in the New York City borough of Queens and lived in Brazil for a time.
After returning to the United States he worked for a variety of companies in New York and Florida. In 2021, he founded a company called the Devolder Organization, but little is publicly known about the business and his claims about it have been contradictory. Santos has made numerous false or dubious claims about his biography, work history, criminal record, financial status, ethnicity, religion, and other matters, both in public and in private.
Six weeks after his election, numerous news outlets reported that large parts of his self-published biography appeared to be fabricated, including claims about his ancestry, education, employment history, charity work, property ownership, and crimes of which he claimed to be a victim. Santos has admitted to lying about his education and employment history. In 2010, Santos confessed to having committed check fraud in Brazil in 2008, but failed to appear in court in 2011, leaving the case unresolved. In the wake of his election, Brazilian authorities revived the case in late 2022. Santos later agreed to plead guilty.
Additionally, there have been several judgments against Santos in the United States concerning eviction and personal debt cases. In 2022, he was accused of failing to pay thousands of dollars in judgments from the 2010s, which he admitted. In the U.S., theft by deception charges were dropped in 2017, and later expunged.
Who is George Santos married to? Why is it in the news?
There were many historic aspects of Rep. George Santos’s short tenure in Congress. One of the less recognized was his status as the first non-incumbent, openly gay Republican elected Congress, particularly at a time when LGBTQ rights have once again become a target of the right.
And in a sit-down with a group of reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday — the day before his historic expulsion from Congress — the scandal-plagued Republican took a swipe at what most consider to be the foremost achievement of the LGBTQ rights movement. “I was an opposer of gay marriage,” Santos said in response to a question about his relationships with more conservative House Republicans, according to audio obtained by Business Insider. It just so happened to be the two-year anniversary of his own gay marriage to his husband, Matt.
Santos said that he entered into such a marriage “because that was the option,” but did not believe it should be called “marriage” and that the government should not be involved in the institution. “I thought it should have been a civil union,” said Santos, referring to the alternative to fully-recognized marriage that some proposed prior to the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015. “It would have given us the same benefits, the same rights under the law.”
“Making it marriage was never the business of the government,” he said. “I’m not saying I oppose just gay marriage. I oppose marriage by the government in general.” “To force that on society was a problem,” he added. “That is why we’re still debating, right?” It’s not the first time Santos has made arguments that run counter to the rest of the LGBTQ community. Also on Thursday, Santos posed with a sign produced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office declaring that there are only two genders.
