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.
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.
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?
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.
Orphan crushing machine comes one step closer to reality
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"
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 sure that's true for some cases.
Many though? I'm going to need a source otherwise I'm calling bullshit.
I'm worried about Loving v. Virginia, at this point!
I believe Clarence Thomas and his wife are so corrupt that he will literally vote to end interracial marriage- including his own.
Well, I mean, that's one way to get a cheap divorce, no?
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.
Yeah because it matters who you marry.
No tax breaks for the gays*
*unless they're billionaires
The taliban isn't welcome anywhere, even if they're white.
...yeah this isn't happening. Cry all you want, that shits in the constitution.
Oh to be so young that you don’t remember gay marriage being illegal
this isn't happening
-
Roe v. Wade. I don't need to say anymore
-
It most certainly is not and only hinges from a SCOTUS decision from the Obama era
-
The US Constitution? It most certainly is not
Lol
State's rights means that if they can take away slavery then we can take away gay marriage.
