Robert George
Co-founder, National Organization for Marriage
Professor, Princeton University
—Said of transgender people: “There are few superstitious beliefs as absurd as the idea that a woman can be trapped in a man’s body and [vice versa].”
—Promoted piece on “why Islam cannot accept homosexual conduct,” adding “Lessons for Christians here too.”
—Decried the New York marriage vote by looking back to a time when being gay was “beneath the dignity of human beings as free and rational creatures.”
—Argued that gay relationships have “no intelligible basis in them for the norms of monogamy, exclusivity, and the pledge of permanence.”
—Suggested that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo shouldn’t be considered a Catholic because by signing marriage equality into law, “he has made it clear that he simply does not believe what Catholicism teaches about sexual morality and marriage.”
—Said marriage equality is “about sex,” not about love, commitment, and responsibility. Admitted he believes gay relations to be immoral: “The idea that is antithetical to those who are seeking to redefine marriage is that there is something uniquely good and morally upright about the chaste sexual union of husband and wife—something that is absent in sodomitical acts and in other forms sexual behavior that have been traditionally—and in my view correctly—regarded as intrinsically non-marital and, as such, immoral.”
—Called for “national rebellion” against marriage equality in the United States.
—Drafted the Manhattan Declaration, a manifesto signed by Orthodox, Catholic, and Evangelical leaders that “promised resistance to the point of civil disobedience against any legislation that might implicate their churches or charities in abortion, embryo-destructive research or same-sex marriage.”
—Said anti-gay soliders are now suffering under their own version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
—Diminished trans kids and their need for protection.
The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.
