The Supreme Court’s Chiles Decision Is The Obergefell Death Knell
American Thinker ^ | April 13, 2026 | Arthur Schaper

Posted on 04/14/2026 7:24:35 AM PDT by fwdude

In a landmark 8-1 ruling handed down on March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar struck a powerful blow for free speech and against the radical LGBT agenda that has dominated American law and culture for far too long. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, declared that Colorado’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for minors unconstitutionally regulated speech based on viewpoint.

...

This decision is no mere procedural win for therapists. It lays the groundwork for the eventual reversal of Obergefell v. Hodges. MassResistance, the pro-family organization that I work for, has long declared that the LGBT revolution rests on the lies that homosexuality is immutable like race, healthy like traditional marriage, and deserving of promotion in schools and society.

A very heartening article. Of course, the homoleft is claiming that the Court case doesn't do much, but it is indeed groundwork.

We cannot allow political agenda to shape “care” just because it converts into a “civil rights issue” ... LGB youth & adults should be free to pursue talk therapy that doesn’t force them into a degenerate community of betrayal, narcissism, victimization, drugs & dependency.

I knew it was one of the “ladies”, and no surprise arguably the weakest brainpowered/strongest liberal of them.

We also can’t allow them to ignore science and reality when it doesn’t fit their worldview. Tney like to use rigged science to decide things, so we use real science to knock them down. Facts trump feelings.

Anyone who really believes that homosexuality is a variant of normal is delusional. Have never met a homosexual who is not severely troubled and miserable at their core.

This is very good news.

600,000 people did not die in the 1860s on the battle fields over this issue of gay marriage. The courts have dishonestly taken a narrow slavery amendment and used it like Santa Claus for every desired policy prescription imaginable.

Yeah, no worries. Just wanted to make it easy for people to get to the article, in case they wanted to read it before commenting (as if anyone here READS the articles before posting comments! LOL)

The landmark 8-1 USSC ruling (minus Ketanji), struck a powerful blow against the radical LGBT agenda that has dominated the US. “MassResistance,” the pro-family organization, has long declared
<><>that the LGBT revolution rests on blatant lies
<><>lies that homosexuality is immutable..... like race,
<><>that its “healthy”..... like traditional marriage,
<><>that its “deserving” of being force-fed in schools and society.
