How gay rights activists are endangering same-sex marriage
U.S. Muslims further reject LGBTQ+ rights, while Jews increase support
The threat to same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ+ achievements isn’t just coming from the political right. It’s coming from the left — with help from gay rights activists themselves. And the media is ignoring it.
Learn about it in the new episode.
In recent years, LGBTQ+ groups have rushed to join Muslim groups in echoing anti-Israel propaganda. They’ve been pushing easily disproven libels against the tiny Jewish state, while presenting Hamas claims as truth.
The fact that the Hamas terrorist organization is one of the most homophobic groups on the planet hasn’t slowed this down. For a case in point in this episode, listen to the applause that “useful infidel” Hannah Einbinder received from the Human Rights Campaign.
You might think this would lead to closer ties between these two different groups associated with the political left. But instead, U.S. Muslims have simultaneously turned even further away from core positions of the LGBTQ+ community.
Take same sex-marriage. While support has increased among virtually everyone else (e.g. 83% of American Jews, up from 80% in 2023), it has plummeted among American Muslims, from 40% down to 33%.
In short, despite LGBTQ+ groups helping lead chants for the destruction of the tiny Jewish state, Jewish Americans have increased support for LGBTQ+ rights, while Muslim Americans have gone the other way.
These figures are tracked by the Public Religion Research Institute. Big Media cite PRRI when it’s convenient, but ignore findings that go against their preferred narratives. (The disastrous New York Times has a page of PRRI stories it wants to tell.)
These charts can seem confusing. To keep it simple, see that the further down, the less support. And note how the colors reverse for Muslim respondents.
Fewer American Muslims also now support LGBTQ+ non-discrimination laws. And they’re more open to laws requiring sex at birth on licenses.
The Pride flag ban
Gay activists have every reason to know the dangers of what they’re doing. In Hamtramck, Michigan, they supported and worked for candidates who became the nation’s first ever all-Muslim city council. Once in office, the council banned Pride flags from public property.
LGBTQ+ and other progressive activists complained that the leaders were “stabbing us in the back.” According to The Guardian, former Mayor Karen Majewski, an LGBTQ ally, said,
“There’s a sense of betrayal. We supported you when you were threatened, and now our rights are threatened, and you’re the one doing the threatening.”
But they had every reason to know this would happen.
Of course this does not mean every Muslim political candidate will take any position. Maybe New York City’s incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani, for example, will pull through on promises despite smiling for photos with a virulently homophobic Ugandan leader and praising a New York City imam who has called homosexuality “a disease of this society.”
But the problem of generalizing goes both ways. Many progressives refuse to consider the possibility that a person identifying as a “victim” does not automatically mean they’ll support you. When accused of being like “Chickens for KFC,” groups like “Queers for Palestine” claim they’re only standing for “justice.” They may genuinely believe this, because they believe lies they’ve been fed by Big Media and memetic warfare.
Meanwhile, openly gay soldiers from Israel, the only LGBTQ+-safe nation in the Middle East, have tried to reach these activists with facts. But most refuse to listen, even as documents shed more light on Hamas executing people — including its own terrorists — for having gay sex.
