Since the day Donald Trump took office, Democrats, the liberal media, and their well-funded friends in Gay, Inc. have pulled at every loose thread they can find to convince people that Republicans are the mortal enemy of the LGBT community. Their latest stunt? Whipping up hysteria over a routine legal development involving Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Here’s the breathless headline they want you to believe: The Supreme Court is about to hear a case that could overturn marriage equality — and it’s all because Trump is back in the White House.

It’s a scary prospect. But here’s the reality check: it’s not true.

Here are the facts. Davis lost her jury trial over her refusal to grant marriage licenses, which was in violation of the Obergefell decision. She is now appealing the Supreme Court to reverse the hundreds of thousands of dollars in emotional damages and attorney fees that the jury verdict held her personally liable for. 

The Court hasn’t agreed to hear it — not even close. Every year, thousands of petitions pour into the Court, and the vast majority are quietly denied. This isn’t a signal, a secret plot, or some sign of the apocalypse for LGBT rights. It’s just how the American legal system works, regardless of who is president.

More importantly, there is no evidence that the Supreme Court has any interest in overturning Obergefell. While Democrats cite the Dobbs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade as proof that the Supreme Court is preparing to overturn Obergefell, they conveniently leave out two critical lines, backed by a majority of the justices, from that decision: “The Court emphasizes that this decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right. Nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”

You don’t hear this critical context much because the left never misses an opportunity to weaponize fear. And Gay, Inc. has perfected the art of gaslighting the very community they claim to represent. They know fear raises money, drives clicks, and keeps LGBT Americans voting blue — even if the facts don’t match the headlines.

Here’s the reality: in a free country, people will disagree with you. You will hear speech you dislike, and you will encounter sincerely held beliefs you don’t share. That’s not a weakness; that’s a strength. Our constitutional rights to free speech and freedom of religion mean we can live and let live — not try to crush anyone who doesn’t parrot our talking points.

Meanwhile, the Republican Party has quietly done something Democrats only pretend to do: become a real big tent. Over the last 48 years, Gay Republicans have been instrumental in advancing equality, and under President Trump, the GOP reformed its platform in ways that actually reflect the progress we’ve made. The party is evolving, growing, and opening its doors wider. 

Polling has consistently shown that a majority of Republican voters support marriage equality. Congress has weighed in as well. Nearly 50 Republicans in the House and 11 in the Senate voted for the Respect for Marriage Act, signed into law by President Biden in 2022, to codify marriage equality into federal law. 

These are important facts and context, but Democrats cling to a fear-based victimhood model stuck in the past. It’s shameful, and it’s costing lives. Every time Gay, Inc. cries wolf, they drown out real issues facing our community. They push a false narrative that Republicans are out to get you, when in reality, they’re undermining the very trust and unity that could save lives. That kind of relentless gaslighting is more than dishonest — it’s deadly.
