Kelly Johnson, wife of House Speaker Mike Johnson, took down the website for her counseling company a day after a report revealed documents on the site compared gay acts to sex with animals.

On Oct. 27, HuffPost reported that Mrs. Johnson’s Onward Christian Counseling Services had an operating agreement on its website that detailed the corporate bylaws for the company.

It also listed several of the conservative beliefs that it abides by.

“We believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bisexual conduct, bestiality, incest, pornography or any attempt to change one’s sex, or disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God,” the eight-page document said.

The agreement was signed by Mrs. Johnson in 2017 and was notarized by Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican.

Just three days later, HuffPost reported that the website was taken down the afternoon after the initial report came out. A link to the website now brings up the message, “Looks like this domain isn’t connected to a website yet.”

The couple are Southern Baptists who host the weekly “Truth Be Told With Mike and Kelly Johnson” podcast that analyzes political and social issues from their religious perspective.

The Washington Times has reached out to Mr. Johnson’s office for comment.
