Liberty Counsel, a Christian legal group, is behind the latest push to overturn gay marriage and has a history of fighting LGBTQ rights.
They have been involved in several high-profile cases, including Lawrence v. Texas, Proposition 8, and Obergefell.
Liberty Counsel has claimed that gay people “know intuitively that what they are doing is immoral, unnatural, and self-destructive” and that they are “not controlled by reason,” but rather by “lust.”
The group's efforts extend beyond litigation, with a goal to reshape American society in a far-right Christian image, excluding LGBTQ people.
Liberty Counsel is affiliated with several powerful organizations, demonstrating its deep network of far-right faith and influence.
