Key takeaway Them Before Us is also part of the Greater Than campaign, a coalition of over 50 anti-LGBTQ+ organizations pushing to have the Supreme Court overturn Obergefell v.
Why this matters
The installation of anti-marriage equality billboards by "Them Before Us" is a concerning development in the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights in the US. The campaign's false claims about LGBTQ+ couples and their ability to parent are particularly troubling, as they have the potential to cause harm to queer families and their children. The fact that the billboard includes a link to the organization's website, which promotes hateful and discriminatory ideology, raises concerns about the spread of misinformation and the potential for further marginalization of the LGBTQ+ community. The involvement of Hobby Lobby as a key funder of the Greater Than campaign, which includes Them Before Us, highlights the significant resources being dedicated to overturning Obergefell v. Hodges and restricting the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. As the campaign expands to other parts of the country, it is essential for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to remain vigilant and prepared to counter such discriminatory efforts.
