The TheBlaze owner Glenn Beck, among others, noted that she had formerly publicly said she was anti-abortion, in addition to multiple other inconsistencies on other issues. Soon thereafter, she told Playboy that she had always supported abortion rights as a matter of national law but was personally against abortion.
In June 2020, she supported Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s vote and majority opinion in the combined cases of Bostock v. Clayton County, Altitude Express Inc. v. Zarda, and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, ruling that businesses cannot fire LGBTQ people for their sexuality or gender identity. Lahren stated, “You can be Christian, conservative, and a proud Trump supporter and believe people should not be fired for who they love. Conservative doesn’t come in one flavor, one race, one religion, one gender, or one sexuality … and I won’t sit by quietly and allow certain self-righteous and self-appointed and anointed conservative thought policemen make that decree.”
