In an op-ed published by MSNBC, independent journalist Brad Polumbo called out Mace's recent about-face on LGBTQ issues.

"I, for one, am surprised to see Mace launching this culture war crusade," Polumbo writes, "because when I interviewed her in 2021, shortly after she took office, she framed herself as a pro-LGBT, social moderate."

"I strongly support LGBTQ rights and equality," the South Carolina congresswoman told Polumno. "No one should be discriminated against. I have friends and family that identify as LGBTQ. Understanding how they feel and how they’ve been treated is important. Having been around gay, lesbian, and transgender people has informed my opinion over my lifetime.”
