Conservatives push to overturn same-sex marriage: "Just a matter of when"
Conservatives push to overturn same-sex marriage: "Just a matter of when"
Some Christian conservatives are working to overturn the Supreme Court ruling that enshrines same-sex marriage.
Summary
Conservative lawmakers and activists are pushing to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver declared, "It’s just a matter of when."
Some legislators, like Oklahoma Senator David Bullard, are introducing bills to challenge the ruling, while Justices Thomas and Alito have signaled interest in reconsidering it.
Though most Americans support same-sex marriage, the court’s conservative shift is concerning.
The 2022 Respect for Marriage Act ensures federal recognition but does not prevent states from restricting same-sex marriage if Obergefell is overturned.
And after that I'm sure inter-racial marriage will be next. Fuck these people
And Thomas would vote to repeal without a second thought.
I've pretty much given up hope for the American people ever growing a spine and standing up for themselves, but if there's one thing I still believe can make things start happening it's if gay marriage is outlawed.
Though I will prepare myself to be proven wrong. That hasn't failed me before.
It'll go the same way it went for abortion. Red states will get worse while blue states stay more or less the same, which will prevent libs in the blue areas from mobilizing effectively to protect minorities in the red ones.
If they aren't stopped, it's only a matter of time before women won't be able to own property, take loans or have credit in their names, and maybe even have bank accounts in their own name. Only men will be able to file for divorce. etc, etc.

This is all anyone needs to understand on the subject. They don’t give a shit about what the majority wants anymore- as they’re making it known far-and-wide that they are no longer employed by us. They’re employed by themselves.
Uh, yeah. They overturned Roe vs Wade, also supported by the majority and Republicans and Democrats. They didn't give a shit...
They have a fairly large group that isn't going to change their votes either way. Then, they have another group that actually might stay home, but things like this motivates them. They don't have to care about the parts of their base that aren't going to change their mind.
Just more government fingers in places they shouldn't be from the party of supposedly small government.
"Liberty Council" seems to take away liberties. Yup. That sounds like conservatives all right.
Very "Ministry of Truth" of them.
wow! What a rollercoaster ride
My supervisor is a hardcore trumper - and also a lesbian who proudly talks about her wife. Nothing that is happening now is good, but it will at least be a little amusing to hear her "but the leopards weren't supposed to eat my face!" lamentations.
She'll just blame Democrats and the left, somehow.
Let me guess - TERF?
No, she hates black people. Like REALLY hates black people.
Any LGBTQ person that voted for Trump deserves what they get. I have no sympathy for a person that can’t do the most basic google search and has no interest in bettering the world for other people.
The only reason most people voted for Trump was Money or Immigrants. Two of the most selfish reasons.
Yeah.. she’s fucked. I wouldn’t be surprised if they anull every non-hetero marriage. And sadly, all the faces eaten by leopards will be of little consolation to those hurt by this.
And then they will come after them for back taxes or something.
Maybe that's the long game. There are worse ways to get out of a relationship.
All while pretending to be libertarians.
While Libertarians spread the "both sides" false equivalency and mark 'R' on their ballots...
Meanwhile a ton of conservatives are closeted gays
If they can't be openly gay and comfortable in their own skin, no one can be. I fucking hate Republicans.
foot tapping echo gets louder
im not gay! im deeply closeted!
So ... when are they going back to legalising child marriage and removing divorce?
Child marriage is already legal. We don't have to go back to that.
No-Fault divorce is already on the chopping block.
'Til death do us part' is gonna be the only option soon, just an FYI for my peeps in abusive relationships out there.
Well there is a clause in there.
They’re already working on it.

I love how none of them ever had grandparents that got "divorced" before no-fault. You know what you did a lot of the time before no-fault if you wanted out? Killed your husband. Wives, when they were forced with a situation where they couldn't simply leave the state/country, would just poison their spouse. In the early 1900s, when your wife was often the one who was at home all the time, preparing all your meals, it was INCREDIBLY easy to do in a way that looked like "oh well he just kept getting sicker and sicker".
One thing they're going after is adoption and surrogacy.
According to project 2025. A child shall be raised by their biological mother and father.
Queer erasure won't end with TQ. They'll go after LGB too.
That hits divorce, IVF, and IUI for heteros as well
dude just look at the taliban and know that's where we're headed. except jesus flavored. divorce is irrelevant if all you have to do is accuse your wife of something and..."redeem your family's honor"
and if the (forced into marriage) wife wants a divorce? "LOL shut your filthy whore mouth and get back in the kitchen"
Orphan crushing machine comes one step closer to reality
Adoption, in many cases, contributes to a situation where pregnant people are coerced into giving up their child. It's a problem most people don't want to hear about, though, like most problems primarily faced by women.
Not all cases though. So project 2025 is going to be pretty damaging even in this area.
I'm worried about Loving v. Virginia, at this point!
christian terrorists strike again
They’re speed running to mandatory married missionary under the portraits territory.
“Sodomy” in an executive order soon.
Gay marriage seems inevitable and just the start.
We're already on the south shore of the Rubicon for me. The line of no return has already been crossed. Add this to the list of why this regime must be stopped.
GOP delenda est.

Waaaahhh! Someone is different than me do they should be banned
🤣🤣🤣
Obvious it was coming but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
… I said, wiping his load from my eye.
The taliban isn't welcome anywhere, even if they're white.
I've seen way too many lifted trucks with silkscreened AR-15 pattern rifles in the shape of a cross to believe this for one second.
Yeah because it matters who you marry.
No tax breaks for the gays*
*unless they're billionaires
State's rights means that if they can take away slavery then we can take away gay marriage.
...yeah this isn't happening. Cry all you want, that shits in the constitution.
In order for the Constitution to be meaningful it must be enforced. Who will enforce it if the two other branches of government don’t?
The SCROTUS already has ignored black letter law in the 14th amendment referring to participants in an insurrection.
Dude, they want to decree all gays as pedos and give them the death penalty.
And you're going, "they can't do that! That's illegal!
Seriously?
Even the most devout cultists understand that culling 7% (and rising) of the population in a country with a negative birth rate is a bad move.
Have you read the constitution?
Have you?
Relevant excerpt: "...No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The amendment was not properly interpreted prior to 2015. It would be nearly impossible to change the interpretation at this point because it would need to be changes from "...nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws" to "...nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of laws; except for gay people"
The 14th amendment should have covered gay marriage from the get-go; and I seriously don't see how you could argue that it can be restored to its prior; clearly wrong, interperitation.
There is nothing to overturn. This is not the same thing as Roe V Wade; which arguably did not have constitutional precident. Its clearly written in the 14th that Americans are to have equal rights legally. 'Less there's a fucking coup, that's not changing.
Have you learned nothing? If these morons don’t like it, it’s going.
Oh to be so young that you don’t remember gay marriage being illegal
The US Constitution? It most certainly is not
I saw that episode the other week. Don't know when it came out, but very accurate.
Lol
