This week, Hillary Clinton made headlines with a statement that many Americans—especially those of faith—found deeply troubling. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Clinton warned against what she described as a movement to “turn the clock back” to a world “dominated by… white men of a certain persuasion, certain religion, certain ideology,” claiming this effort is “doing such damage” to the country2.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a critique of political nostalgia. It was a direct swipe at white Christian men—and by extension, anyone who holds traditional values rooted in faith and family.
🎯 Targeting Faith, Not Extremism
Clinton’s comments come in the wake of rising political violence, including the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But instead of calling for unity, Clinton chose to vilify an entire demographic—white Christian men—as the source of America’s problems.
This is not just divisive. It’s dangerous.
As gay conservatives, we know what it means to be marginalized. We’ve fought for our rights while holding fast to our values. And we reject the idea that Christianity—or masculinity, or whiteness—is inherently toxic. The problem isn’t faith. The problem is the demonization of faith.
🏳️🌈 Faith and Freedom Aren’t Opposites
We stand proudly at the intersection of LGBTQ identity and conservative belief. Many of us are Christians. Many of us are white. And many of us are men. That doesn’t make us a threat—it makes us part of the American tapestry.
To suggest that white Christian men are “doing such damage” is to ignore the countless ways they’ve contributed to our country: through service, charity, leadership, and yes, through the defense of religious liberty.
⚖️ The Real Danger: Identity Politics on Steroids
Clinton’s rhetoric is a symptom of a broader illness—one where identity politics trumps individual character. In this worldview, people are judged not by their actions, but by their race, religion, and gender. That’s not progress. That’s prejudice.
We don’t want to “turn the clock back.” We want to move forward—toward a society where people of all backgrounds can live freely, worship openly, and speak honestly.
💬 Final Thoughts
Hillary Clinton may believe she’s warning America about a threat. But in reality, she’s fueling one: the erosion of civil discourse and the vilification of faith-based communities.
We at The Gay Conservative Network will continue to stand for truth, tolerance, and tradition. Because being conservative and being gay aren’t contradictions—they’re complementary. And we won’t be silenced by those who confuse conviction with oppression.
