Evangelicals and Charlie Kirk are still extremely anti gay. You're just wrong wombat, he called being gay an “error” and compared the LGBTQ pride movement with encouraging drug addicts.
Most evangelical churches teach that homosexual behavior is sinful, citing passages from Leviticus, Romans, and Corinthians. They typically uphold heterosexual marriage as the only acceptable context for sex.
According to Pew Research (2023), about 29% of white evangelicals say homosexuality should be accepted by society, compared with around 71% of Americans overall.

The only problem is that the fact checking started under Trump. ;-) And if your talking about external pressure on Meta I think EU pressure was a lot higher then US pressure.
Meta started fact checking because they desperately want to avoid EU regulation forcing them to do it with a whole laundry list of requirements must stricter then Meta imposes on itself, a sentiment that really came alive in the EU after Trump won the election based off of a huge amount of disinformation, and that disinformation machine was then turning its sights onto EU elections.

The point is the obvious hypocrisy that the party that wants to eliminate LGBTQ+ people from the public really loves gay sex on the down low (for more information, see the stats on red states and watching transgender porn).

Yeah it's weird that the point had to be explained to oBlade.

Trump's United Nations speech went just about as catastrophically as expected - lies and absurdities and ignorance:
He pretended that he’s ended seven wars, while pointing to approval ratings that exist only in his mind. He renewed his pathetic lobbying for a Nobel Peace Prize, falsely claiming that “everyone” wants him to get one. He took pointless shots at ostensible U.S. allies in NATO and at the United Nations itself. He told unnamed officials that their countries are “going to hell.” He bragged about campaign swag sales. He attacked clean, renewable energy, while insisting that climate science is an elaborate “con job” and a “hoax” concocted by nefarious people with “evil intentions.” And for good measure, he claimed that unnamed “environmentalists” want to ban cows.
Perhaps most importantly, Trump told one of his favorite lies, bragging that international respect for the U.S. has reached all-time highs now that he’s back in power. This is, of course, the opposite of the truth — global surveys have shown support for the U.S. has collapsed in recent months — and it was an especially painful lie, given that Trump was alienating the world while delivering the ludicrous comment. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/maddow-blog-bizarre-remarks-u-163153451.html
Trump additionally brought up the following topics, in bizarre, unhinged, and inaccurate rants: "Trump’s claims about immigrants deported to El Salvador and the Biden administration’s border control policies; Trump’s criticisms of the United Nations and his claims to have ended ‘seven wars’; Trump’s comments on Europe’s approach to immigration; Trump on the war between Russia and Ukraine; Trump’s comments about climate change and efforts to address it" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/23/trump-un-speech-fact-check-claims
