National and local mainstream media react to MassResistance’s resolution demanding SCOTUS overturn its 2015 “gay marriage” ruling

Just passed by Idaho House of Representatives and moving forward in several other states!

LGBT media recognizes its significance and are agitated.

But conservative media are strangely silent and won’t touch it.

March 30, 2026

The mainstream media reacted quickly to our MassResistance resolution. Newsweek sees it as a "threat." But conservative media, strangely, have avoided covering it.

Our MassResistance resolution urging the US Supreme Court to overturn its infamous 2015 Obergefell “gay marriage” ruling has taken on a new life this year in state legislatures across the country.

The Idaho House of Representatives recently passed it for the second year in a row. It has generated excitement among conservative lawmakers and grassroots activists alike.

And like last year, it’s generating anger and bizarre hysterics among leftists and LGBT activists. We suspect that most of them realize that – like the Roe v Wade abortion ruling – the court’s “gay marriage” ruling had no actual constitutional justification.

Big mainstream media response

Local and national mainstream media (and certainly the LGBT media) have already reported on our renewed effort. The coverage has ranged from straightforward to hysterical. But these outlets suspect what could result: that state legislatures taking an official public stand on this constitutionally fragile issue could lead to its actual overturning.

Here are some of the mainstream articles:

And we can’t leave out the hair-on-fire LGBT media coverage of this!

But what about America’s conservative media?

There’s quite a contrast: virtually nothing is appearing in the conservative media. Why don’t they want to touch this? Neither Fox News, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Daily Wire, Gateway Pundit, National Review, New York Post, Washington Times, nor even The Epoch Times have covered the resolution’s new push. We even reached out directly to The Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neill (who has written on a related issue), but he took a pass on it. Only LifeSiteNews.com was willing to cover the Idaho House’s action.

One would think that something this big regarding “gay marriage” would be interesting to most media on the right.

We all know that conservative media writes a lot about the transgender issue – boys in girls’ sports, boys in girls’ restrooms, schools secretly supporting students’ “gender identity” – that’s all being covered. But they are squeamish about homosexuality – the core of “gay marriage.” (It’s not dissimilar to how the rest of the mainstream conservative movement has been acting.) So they’re unsure how to deal with challenges to the Obergefell ruling.

Final thoughts

The contrast in coverage is concerning. We’ve all noticed the proliferation of “conservative gays” and libertarian types in right-leaning media. And a lot of their big donors would prefer to stay away from this subject. (Plus, many conservative groups and activists are actually OK with “gay marriage” now.)

People depend on conservative media to give them the “straight” news. What other issues are they holding back on? Can we trust them?

Nevertheless, MassResistance will keep the fight going and will keep you informed!
