Views

Knight is a

recruit youth.[9] He has referred to abortion, pornography, and gay rights as part of an "iron triangle."[9] In the aftermath of the 1998 torture and murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay student, Knight denounced the murder but opposed proposals to extend hate crime laws,[10] believing them to be "the precursor toward thought crimes."[9]

In a 1995 interview, Knight asserted that, "

Lesbianism is the animating principle of feminism. Because feminism, at the core, is at war with motherhood, femininity, family, and God. And lesbians are at war with all these things."[11]

Knight is on the advisory board of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, which promotes abstinence-only sex education.[12]

His 2018 manifesto, A Nation Worth Fighting For: 10 Steps to Restore Freedom, calls upon Evangelical Christians to "go on offense against the darkness, not cower in our church buildings, hoping it will go away."[13]

Personal

He has a B.S. in 1973 and M.S. in 1975 in political science from American University in Washington, D.C.[3] In 1981, he married his wife Barbara, with whom he now lives in the Washington, D.C. area.[2]
