LGBTQ Forces Are Mobilizing Voters. Will Christians Vote?

Written by Gary Bauer | June 17, 2024

While many churches and individual Christians are still debating whether they should be involved in "politics," there is no such reticence in the powerful LGBTQ movement.

The Human Rights Campaign, which is the biggest homosexual rights group in America, plans to spend $15 million in six battleground states to re-elect President Joe Biden.

President Biden already has solid support from LGBTQ voters. Earlier this year, a poll by GLAAD, a homosexual media advocacy group, found Biden beating Trump 72% to 15% among likely LGBTQ voters in swing states.

But the Biden campaign is taking no chances. According to NBC News, the campaign plans to be involved in more than 200 pride events in 23 states and to initiate a paid media "blitz" aimed at mobilizing LGBTQ voters.

Even First Lady Jill Biden has been deployed to "show the flag," the LGBTQ flag. She made a surprise visit to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania pride festival and claimed, "This community is under attack." She was referring to 26 states that have passed laws protecting women's sports and safe spaces, including women's bathrooms, to prevent males claiming they are women from entering them. These laws are not "attacks" on the LGBTQ movement. They are laws protecting girls and women.

The "pride" movement is also furious because parents have been successful in a number of states in protecting young children from graphic sexual information of any kind being taught in public schools. Parents' rights to protect and teach their children are at stake in this year's elections.

President Biden regularly and incorrectly smears those parents as "book banners." His Justice Department also attempted to link concerned parents, who went to school board meetings to protest the indoctrination of their children, with domestic terrorists.

JDFI will continue to support parents as they protect their children. We are also dedicating considerable resources to mobilize Christian voters to vote for faith, family, and freedom.
