Topic: "God is non-binary" remark
THEN · 2021-10-15
“I told them in my faith, God is non-binary.”
NOW · 2026-09-09
“I was being provocative with that statement, I get that. What I was trying to say is that you can't use human categories to define God.”
Context: The 2021 post followed House passage of the bill limiting school sports teams by sex at birth, where he made the remark during debate. In the Fox interview he went on: "And that's not controversial theologically. In fact, the late Charlie Kirk, the late Pope Benedict, all said the same thing," and said the comments were being clipped to distract from Ken Paxton's record. He did not say he no longer holds the underlying view.
