(LifeSiteNews) — Next week, a counterrevolution will be sparked in the nation’s capital as a movement to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling instituting same-sex “marriage” across the land is announced.

And perhaps surprisingly to many, its biggest impediment will come not from far-left liberals, LGBTQ+ lobbying giants such as the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and GLAAD, or woke-promoting national legacy media. That former coalition peaked and is withering. 

The gay juggernaut’s new power-center that will likely exert its considerable muscle to oppose efforts to undo Obergefell resides within the Republican Party, and in particular, the MAGA-White House alliance.  Formidable resistance will come from influential “married” homosexual men — and those who aspire to same-sex “marriages” — who work at the highest levels in the Trump administration. And not only them, but men and women who, like Trump himself, long ago waved a white flag of surrender and decided that protecting the timeless, immutable definition of marriage was no longer something worth fighting for.   

Obergefell opened a door that should never have been opened, unleashing the contagion of transgenderism on an unsuspecting, unprepared public and our kids have been and continue to be its most susceptible, tragic victims.  

More than that, every child’s right to be raised by both their biological mother and father has been obliterated thanks to Obergefell, while in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy  — both of which entail catastrophic levels of abortion — nowadays elicit nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders within the GOP, thanks in large part to efforts to cater to gay men’s yearnings to raise children they are incapable of producing on their own.   

The big question

During a much-anticipated presentation next week at the fifth National Conservative Conference (NatCon 5) in Washington, D.C., panelists will call for the overturn of Obergefell, launching a coalition of pro-family, pro-complementary marriage, and pro-child activists and organizations.  

Here’s the big question: Will this grassroots conservative movement to restore the immutable definition of marriage be able to gain traction when the Republican Party and its leader — currently ensconced in the White House — stand against it?  

Through scores of articles, commentary, and speeches, I’ve charted the quiet rise of LGBTQ+ political power and social influence within conservative circles since the 2020 presidential race, when gay men poured out of their closets in droves to express their support for Donald J. Trump.

President Trump has long been hailed by homocons (homosexual conservatives) as the “most pro-gay president in American history.” He has hosted same-sex “weddings” at his Mar-A-Lago resort home. First Lady Melania has hosted pro-LGBTQ+ campaign fundraisers at both Mar-A-Lago and the Trump’s Manhattan penthouse.

In December 2022, just two days after Joe Biden signed the so-called “Respect for  Marriage Act,” enshrining homosexual “marriage” into law, gay-identifying Republicans celebrated its enactment at a gala event at Mar-a-Lago, hosted by Trump.  

This week, in an article headlined “Donald Trump’s Big Gay Government,” The New York Times finally caught up with LifeSiteNews’ coverage of that rise, calling attention to the “A-Gays” serving in positions of power and influence within the administration. 

“They have big jobs inside (or alongside) this administration. They wield influence all over town, from the Pentagon to the State Department to the White House to the Kennedy Center,” the Times noted. Chief among the A-Gays is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, “married” to a man with whom he has obtained two children through surrogacy. 

“The funny thing is, I had a lot of girlfriends who wanted to move here,” Steve Bannon protégé, Natalie Winters, told the Times. “They thought the dating scene would be really great, that MAGA would bring in a whole wave of, like, you know, eligible, conservative, smart, enterprising men.”

Instead, she said, “everybody’s freaking gay.”

Rising intolerance: ‘You can’t be anti-gay in the Republican Party and not be run out of the party.’

President Trump’s welcoming of the normalization of homosexuality and treating homosexual “marriages” as legitimate seems to have fostered a climate of intolerance within the GOP.

Homocons who hold increasing power within the administration are apparently now free to punish Christian Republicans whose consciences won’t allow them to close their eyes to the inescapable truth about the complementarity of man and woman.

Floyd Brown, a pro-Trump conservative tapped to serve as a vice president at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., explained that he was fired recently due to his “past writings and statements about traditional marriage and homosexual influence in the GOP.” 

“The only explanation is the one given to me at the time of my firing. ‘Floyd, you must recant your belief in traditional marriage and your past statements on the topic, or you will be fired,’” Brown said.

Brown’s firing is unsurprising when one considers that Ric Grenell, a homosexual appointed by Trump as president of the Kennedy Center, declared in a video interview with Donald Trump Jr., last year, “I really believe that you can’t be anti-gay in the Republican Party and not be run out of the party.”

What’s at stake: the best interests and rights of children

One of the three panelists at the NatCon 5 event is Katy Faust, founder of the global children’s rights organization Them Before Us. She recently explained how homosexual “marriage” has diminished children’s lives by eroding their right to their mother and father.   

“Ten years ago, a great injustice was done to children. In Obergefell v. Hodges, the Court treated as equal two things that for kids never will be: opposite-sex and same-sex marriage,” Faust said. “One aims to unite children with both parents. The other separates them from one or both.”

“Gay marriage hasn’t led to greater love for LGBTQ adults but rather greater harm to children. It eroded children’s right to their mother and father,” Faust explained. “When you make husbands and wives legally optional in marriage, mothers and fathers become legally optional in parenthood.”

“After 10 years, we have seen the results. Gay marriage normalized something that for children can never be normal — a life without their mother or father,” Faust said. “The truth is, gay marriage redefined parenthood, and children across the nation are paying the price.”

Non-negotiable truths

There’s a battle going on for the soul of the still-emerging populist/conservative political coalition involving titanically important issues for the future of our nation but which remain either willfully overlooked or off the radar of many engaged observers. 

Will conservatives assert the immutable nature of human beings as male and female, or will that which is known by science and clearly visible in nature be tossed into the dumpster of history? Will the GOP reinstate the supreme importance of complementarity?

As gay and lesbian individuals rightly stream out of the Democrat Party and find a new home under the Republican tent, the GOP must assert more clearly and boldly than ever that marriage is between one man and one woman; that there are precisely two sexes; and that nobody is “born in the wrong body” or “born that way.”

These are non-negotiable bedrock truths for conservatives, for Christians, and for all thinking, reasoning people.  

The GOP has been headed in the wrong direction, away from timeless truths and immutable definitions, inflicting harm on the nation’s children. The NatCon 5 panel hopes to bring the issue into sharp focus and to ignite a counterrevolution.
