A post shared on Facebook claims President-elect Donald Trump has purportedly banned same-sex marriage in all 50 states in the U.S.

Verdict: False

The claim is not referenced on Trump’s website, his TRUTH Social account, his verified social media accounts, or his 2024 presidential platform. There is no other evidence to support the claim.

Fact Check:

Trump has chosen Massad Boulos, his daughter Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, to be an adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs, according to BBC News. Trump also recently chose Charles Kushner, his daughter Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law, to be his ambassador to France, the outlet reported.

The Facebook post, which has garnered over 3,000 likes as of writing, implies Trump has purportedly banned same-sex marriage in all 50 states in the U.S.

“Breaking News: South Africa experiences a 50% increase in the number of Gàý [sic] marriages in the country as over 250k Gày [sic] people got married legally this year in South Africa. This is a practice that Donald Trump frowns at,” the post reads in part. The post does not provide a source to support its claim.

The claim is false. Check Your Fact did not find the claim referenced on Trump’s official website, his TRUTH Social account, or his verified social media accounts. (RELATED: Did Donald Trump Lose The Popular Vote By Two Percent In The 2024 Election?)

Likewise, Trump’s 2024 presidential platform does not mention anything about banning same-sex marriage. During the 2024 campaign, Trump urged the Republican Party to soften its stance on same-sex marriage and abortion in its policy platform, according to NBC News. As a result, the platform replaced language saying marriage is “between one man and one woman” with verbiage indicating the Republican Party “promotes a ‘culture that values the Sanctity of Marriage, the blessing of childhood, the foundational role of family, and supports working parents,'” the outlet reported.

In addition, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. Actually, the opposite is true. On Nov. 26, PolitiFact debunked the claim. The outlet also pointed out that Trump has not yet taken office to start his second presidential term and does not have the authority to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 U.S. states.
