They Want to Destroy Our Children

More than HALF of our current cases are defending Christians who have lost their jobs, their security clearances, and even their parental rights for daring to oppose the LBGT & Q (“queer”) GROOMERS agenda that developed as a result of the Obergefell opinion.

This 2015 opinion, affected far more than “marriage.” More on that below.

In the days leading up to Obergefell, the LGBTQ narrative was that they only wanted to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile, Christians, pro-family organizations, and several U.S. Supreme Court Justices rightly warned that the opinion would threaten religious freedom. We warned this opinion would cause damage far beyond “marriage.” 

Ten years after Obergefell, the aftermath has proven that the Christians, the dissenting Justices, and our warnings were right all along. As you saw in Monday’s email, and as you will see in the cases below, our current work PROVES it.

Each of the following are a DIRECT result of Obergefell, which enabled the LGBTQ to destroy the lives of good people simply trying to protect their children.

Maj. Worley v. Idaho Army National Guard: Major Worley was removed from command after an LGBTQ subordinate claimed Worley’s private Christian views about boys in girls’ bathrooms — though only mentioned on Worley’s personal social media — created a "hostile work environment,” which made the subordinate feel “unsafe.” Worse yet, the investigating officer has now formally recommended that ALL full-time National Guard members’ social media accounts be thoroughly “scrutinized” for Christian viewpoints.

Tarpo v. Clackamas Co., OR: Christian pediatric social worker fired for objecting to new county policies enforcing gender-affirming care as the only allowable policy for gender-confused children and the county's plan to hide these actions from the children’s parents. 

Maine domestic case: A Maine judge has ruled that a mother may not take her own child to church because the church teaches a biblical viewpoint on marriage and “trans” ideology.

Christian counseling bans: Over 100 cities and states have enacted laws that prevent parents from taking their minor children to Christian mental health therapists for gender dysphoria aka “transgenderism.”

Miss Northwest Florida 2025: Lost her crown for refusing to sign a document that endorsed the chemical and surgical mutilation of children under the age of 14. 

Montana real estate license revoked: This Montana-based part-time pastor and Realtor had his Realtor’s license revoked for posting biblical messages about marriage and transgenderism on his personal social media, which the Realtor board determined to be “hate speech.”

Virginia Realtor fined and sanctioned: This Virginia-based part-time pastor and Realtor was fined by the state Realtor association for posting biblical messages about marriage and transgenderism on his personal social media. The Realtor board determined his post to be “hate speech.”

Plymouth State University censorship: PSU censored this student for refusing to comply with LGBTQ ideology in his journalistic articles.

California’s public school trans indoctrination directive: California has ordered all school districts to hire staff and create classroom exercises and a variety of programs unabashedly designed to usher children even as young as kindergarten into “transgenderism.”

California’s AB 495 — child kidnapping law: AB495 seeks to allow ANY adult to take full guardianship of another person’s child and get those children so-called “gender-affirming care” without parental consent.

NONE of these abuses would have arisen without Obergefell.

Obergefell wrongly established that "queer” rights somehow take precedence over the religious freedom rights guaranteed by our Constitution.

Worse yet, “five lawyers” in Obergefell wrongly decided that gender was irrelevant in a clearly established gender-based relationship (marriage between a man and a woman). If gender does not matter in marriage, then it does not matter in any reality. Men can pretend to be women. Men can kick women out of sports and invade their private spaces. Groomers can usher innocent children down a path of LGBTQ indoctrination.

And anyone who objects — even the parents of children being groomed — will be punished, silenced, bankrupted, and even lose their parental rights.

This fall, Liberty Counsel aims to END the ABUSE once and for all at the U.S. Supreme Court with Davis v. Ermold.

Obergefell MUST be overturned.

We need your financial support to defend each of the Christians listed above, as well as to overturn Obergefell, which created this mess in the first place.
