"Many of the country's most notorious anti-gay groups are banding together to overturn Obergefell. But their campaign isn't eliciting the response from conservatives they were probably expecting. Instead of enthusiasm, they're drawing scorn. Their kick-off video was shared on X Wednesday and garnered nearly 1 million views. Set to dramatic music, the 3-minute clip features monologues from avowed homophobes such as Family Research Council head Tony Perkins, anti-choice activist Lila Rose, and former actor Michael Knowles, who had no problem playing queer characters during his career."
""When Obergefell redefined marriage to include same-sex couples, it was billed as a win for adult equality," says Rose. "In reality, it created inequality for children." Adds Allie Beth Stuckey, a conservative commentator: "We now have these trite phrases like, 'Love makes a family,' or 'all you need is just love.' As long as your physical needs are met and someone is cheering you on, then apparently you'll grow up fine.""
A broad coalition of anti-LGBT and pro-family groups organized a campaign aiming to overturn the Obergefell decision, centering its argument on alleged harms to children. The campaign's three-minute kickoff video on X attracted nearly one million views and features monologues from figures such as Tony Perkins, Lila Rose, Allie Beth Stuckey, and Michael Knowles. The speakers assert that same-sex marriage creates inequality for children but offer no evidence and include no children from same-sex families in the video. The campaign has drawn scorn from conservatives rather than enthusiasm, while far-right Supreme Court justices view the moment as an opportunity.
