‘Warped history’: how the US supreme court justified gutting gay rights | US supreme court | The Guardian

Tragically, the religious right knows it has a friendly audience in the six conservative Catholic justices on the supreme court, who have been partners in shaking the foundations of fundamental rights. The justices' new standard is whether a constitutional right is grounded in "history and tradition", the latest byword for the bogus doctrine of "originalism". So they need some history, and apparently any history will do. 

The legal end to reach a thunderous ruling justifies their debatable means. So the concept of "religious autonomy", built on a foundation of misleading scholarship, "impact" litigation and, above all, false history, has become the method for restricting rights. Its logic of power rests on its illogic; its warping of the constitution depends on the distortion of history…

The absurd claim that Trump is the ‘most pro-gay president in American history’ - The Washington Post

Grenell is a longtime spinmeister who under President Trump became a controversial ambassador to Germany. .... He makes the provocative claim that Trump — whose administration is often criticized by gay rights advocates as anti-gay — is actually the most pro-gay president in U.S. history.
