Good News: U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Fairness in Women’s Sports

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Little Rock, Ark. – On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld state laws protecting fairness in women’s sports.

Family Council President Jerry Cox released a statement praising the ruling, saying, “This is a good decision that makes sure women and girls are not forced to compete against biological males in school sports. Letting males compete in women’s sports is unfair. It erases 50 years of advancements for women and girls. It hurts their athletic and scholarship opportunities as students, and it hurts their professional opportunities as adults. In some sports, it can even be dangerous. Today’s decision is a victory that preserves fairness in women’s sports.”

Cox pointed out that most Americans do not believe girls should be forced to compete against biological males in school sports. “Public opinion polling from Gallup has shown most Americans agree that athletes should compete according to their biological sex — not their gender identity. Protecting fairness in women’s sports is just common sense. Americans understand that, and our federal courts do too.”

Cox said Arkansans should be proud that their leaders have been at the forefront of the effort to protect fairness in women’s sports. “Arkansas was among the first states in the nation to enact a law clearly protecting women’s sports. Act 461 of 2021 by Sen. Missy Irvin and Rep. Sonia Barker prevents male student athletes from competing against girls in women’s athletics at school. Family Council was pleased to work with the Arkansas Legislature to support passage of this good law. Act 461 was never challenged in court, but similar laws in West Virginia and Idaho were. Last year, Family Council joined dozens of state policy organizations and more than 200 state legislators — including Rep. Mary Bentley and Rep. Robin Lundstrum from Arkansas — in a legal brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold those laws. Today the Court did exactly that. That is something to celebrate.”

Tyson Family Foundation Pledges Half-a-Million Dollars to Pro-LGBT Efforts in Northwest Arkansas

LGBT, ,

The Tyson Family Foundation has pledged to give $500,000 as part of a multi-year commitment to support pro-LGBT efforts in Northwest Arkansas. Talk Business reports that with the pledge, the foundation is set “to be a presenting sponsor of NWA Pride Weekend through 2030.”

The Tyson Family Foundation is located in Fayetteville, and its primary purpose is to promote education, health, arts and culture, and youth programs, as well as scholarship opportunities for Tyson Foods employees and their families.

The foundation’s pro-LGBT support comes as other groups are wisely choosing to pivot away from these sorts of initiatives.

For a long time, major corporations and charitable foundations spent a tremendous amount of time and money pandering to pro-LGBT groups. But in recent years, corporate support for LGBT Pride has fizzled and Fortune 500 companies have abandoned the pro-LGBT Equality Index.

Major companies from Walmart to Target and John Deere to Lowe’s have rolled back pro-LGBT policies due to consumer backlash.

In 2023, Bud Light managed to single-handedly overthrow itself as the number-one beer in America after sending transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney a novelty can of Bud Light with Mulvaney’s picture on it. Mulvaney posted a video showcasing the Bud Light can — which led to backlash and boycotts from Bud Light drinkers nationwide. All told, that novelty can of Bud Light ended up costing the company more than $1 billion in lost sales, and the brand has never fully recovered.

The pushback from Americans has reached all the way to Hollywood as well. In recent years, we’ve seen entertainment giants like Disney and Pixar remove pro-LGBT elements from their storylines in response to moviegoers.

It’s obvious that consumers are tired of pro-LGBT pandering by corporations and other groups. It’s also deeply concerning when organizations use their wealth and influence to support ideologies that lead to troubling consequences. These sorts of efforts are out of step with everyday Americans, plain and simple.

Support for Sex-Change Procedures, Polygamy Falls Among Democrats: Gallup

LGBT, , , , ,

Last week pollsters at Gallup released a survey showing support for sex-change procedures and polygamy has fallen significantly among Democrats over the past year.

After the 2015 Obergefell ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, polygamist and transgender activists both began using the same arguments as same-sex marriage’s supporters, and for a long time it seemed like that strategy was reshaping public opinion in the U.S. However, new data from Gallup shows attitudes may be shifting — especially among Democrats.

Gallup’s annual “Moral Acceptability” survey measures Americans’ acceptance of various behaviors. The 2026 survey results show that among Democrats, support for changing a person’s gender is down 11 points and support for polygamy is down 10 points since last year.

Among Republicans, only 5% support sex-change procedures, and 7% say polygamy is morally acceptable.

Gallup has found for years that most Americans do not believe it is morally acceptable for a person to change genders, and recent survey data shows support for same-sex marriage and other LGBT issues is actually declining. These latest survey findings seem to be part of a larger shift in public opinion.

In recent years, corporate support for LGBT Pride has fizzled and Fortune 500 companies have abandoned the pro-LGBT Equality Index. Major companies from Walmart to Target and John Deere to Lowe’s have rolled back pro-LGBT and DEI policies in response to consumer backlash. And entertainment giants like Pixar and Disney have removed pro-LGBT elements from their storylines in response to moviegoers.

At the same time, we now know pro-LGBT activists and medical organizations spent years citing each other’s work in a circular pattern to manufacture a fake consensus about performing sex-change procedures on kids.

Whistleblowers have come forward testifying about how they were rushed through gender transitions as children without understanding the procedures’ risks, consequences, or alternatives, and public health experts and policymakers in the U.S., the U.K., Sweden, Finland, and other nations have found that science simply does not support these “gender transitions” for kids.

Gallup’s latest survey data may indicate that all of this is causing people to rethink their positions on same-sex marriage, sex-change procedures, and similar issues.
