I am actually hopeful that OvH will not be overturned. Most of these cases, including the one I was involved in, were decided under strict scrutiny. Of course, anything is possible with this SCOTUS…but I am pretty hopeful about Marriage Equality holding.
Roe, like Obergefell, was based on the premise that there’s a “penumbra” of privacy rights in the Constitution that includes bodily autonomy. This isn’t written in the Constitution, and the GOP originalists both hate it and say it’s incorrect.
Oh ok. Yes absolutely!! My son had a LS classmate who was basically abandoned by his Utah Mormon parents because he was gay. He decided DC was a better place for him to go to LS. Great kid, his parents lost out
So true. They’re supposed to be all for the freedom of the individual - but it freaks them out if gay folks want to marry or a woman wants choice over her body.
They are actually only in favour of freedoms that align with their bigotry.
Exactly. It was always about *their* freedom to treat people they feel are inferior as dirt. That's the most fundamental principle of social-conservatism: enjoying for yourself the things you would happily deny others.
Interesting. Sooo there this little thing called discovery. And showing the judges con the doll where exactly the states are hurt by the actual gay marriage.
Pretty sure “I don’t like gays marrying” is a valid argument.
gay marriage ,mixed marriage, child marriage ,divorce , incest, child molestation, adultery, lets get it all done you sanctimonious assholes .No sex at all,you corrupt evangelicals are the ones molesting kids practicing incest,
keeping a mistress, going to hookers or like Schlapp…playing both sides
We’re talking about the States of Hillbilly and Podunk, aren’t we? Up here in Canada 🇨🇦 we’re still normal. What are people down there so fucking afraid of? They’re always afraid!
Strongly encourage folks to reach out via the travel and tourism websites of these states. Each will have a contact us form. Be civil, but clear in your explanation that no travel to these states will happen as a result. Ask for a written response.
Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 10/22. It’s 2025. If you think purchasing this stupid sticker fools us that you are a not an irresponsible person - you are wrong. You are lazy and need to educate yourself and STFU! 🤫
If only people had been warned. But they were so sneaky about it all.
Sneakily producing an entire manifesto .. Project 25 .. online, for ANYONE to read, making their intentions very, VERY clear months before the election.
But like, apart from that, how could people have known. 😡
No real reason to overturn. Just want to be assholes. Wow. We lived in a fucked up world where white, bitter, sexless marriage, closeted homos have to harm others because they feel shitty about their own lives. Wow.
I don’t give a rats ass who you love…make positive contributions so we can move forward. Your religion is telling you?? WAKE UP…we’re alone…take responsibility and fix it!! One life and this is it!!
Said it before and I will say it again, republicans are far to obsessed with other folks genitalia, what they do in the bedroom and who they love. We have people living in the streets and this is how our so called representatives spend their time?
So how’s this going to work? You’re married in California but not perhaps in Idaho? We need to secede. This is no longer the country of the majority of California and we’re rich enough to go it alone
This is how it will be…fragmented. My husband and I will not travel to any red state bc if we have an accident or one of us is hospitalized, they won’t recognize our marriage. They won’t recognize any legal documents. My PoA for Health care means nothing as they want “Jesus to take the wheel.”

One hopes that the openly gay members of Trump’s cabinet will step forward on this issue at some point? But then again I’ve always hoped Peter Thiel would do the same.
Undoing any marriage is messy business. Who gets the assets, who pays the debts, and what about the children?
There are probably 800K-plus gay marriages in the US. The opponents of gay marriage will have to have better reasons than "morality" and "religion" to overturn those marriages.
Give an inch and they take a mile. This is why we've been screaming for years that people need to stop voting Republican. They will destroy EVERYTHING we hold dear.
This is fundamentally the Right to Privacy that is under attack. All these cases hinge on the right to privacy. Don't be fooled into thinking these adverse decisions won't effect you.
Deplorables, Why don't they combine this effort with interracial marriage? Let's see how Supreme Court justice Thomas would vote when the case goes to them..
...who hung out with prostitutes, reviled tax collectors, and stinky fisherman. Who called out the establishment. Defended Samaritans, the oppressed racial minority. And John was the deciple who he loved, and if that love was more than reclining together at supper...WHO CARES?
You're better be more worried about state legislatures bringing back sodomy laws some states still have them on the books and could just vote them back in like they're trying to do with interracial marriage in Tennessee
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The Court ruled that bans on same-sex marriage were unconstitutional, affirming that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry under the 14th Amendment.
About 7,000 cases a year go the Supreme Court. 100-150 are heard, pathetic. We need a president who isn't afraid to right size the court and dilute the rubbish. I recommend 21 judges working in groups of 3 with the entire panel weighing in on hot button issues. Problem solved.
Doesn't mean jack shit. Try getting 2/3rds vote to override a supreme court ruling via new legislation. If they could manufacture a case to take to the supreme court, they would have just done that like last time. Get fucked.
You are so right!! He may have been “low energy” and stuttered, but he sure didn’t kiss Putin’s ass and he didn’t take medical coverage away from the poor to line his pockets. He wasn’t a greedy bastard selling his soul to the highest bidder. I hope he rots in hell.
Well Idaho isn't the south, but it LOVES to pretend it is. They were the first state to challenge gay marriage recently. The rest is the south though so you're mostly right. Can't wait till my bf can move out of Idaho in November and never go back to that wanna-be confederate hellhole
wow, that's quite a sweeping statement. are you sure you want to paint with such a broad brush? not everyone in the south is a racist fascist, you know. some of them are actually quite charming, in a misguided sort of way.
Then why do the people continue to voted for white rich men who take away the rights and freedoms and allow so much hatred. Why aren’t the people riding up against these actions?
The fight against human rights continues. I knew they would come after the entire LGBTQ community before it was over. That's what bigots and haters do. Go after anybody that is in any way different from them for discrimination and abuse. Inhumane!!!! Makes me ? how long this country will be safe
Despicable! There is only one reason to care who someone else fucks! That is YOUR religion. Don't like gay marriage, DON'T GET ONE! Otherwise mind your own DAMN BUSINESS!
When the nation failed to rally after women were robbed of our most basic reproductive liberty, it was clear the fascist christian extremists were going to come for marriage equality as well. Here they come. Either we all have liberty or none of us do. Time to fight.
It feels like they let ChatGPT mix a script from Idiocracy, The Handmaid‘s Tale and some random Nazi-Propaganda. And then use that as their program for the presidency.
Oh, wait, that script was already there: Project 2025
I am already counseling younger lgbtq families about how to adopt each others children, fill out end of life documents protecting assets, and letting them know how we had to protect our families before legal marriage.
FFS I am so damn sorry. Please tell them this old white straight married, Christian mother and grandmother from Florida supports them and I am so damn embarrassed by my demographic
Yes, they should go for it and get legally certified copies of their marriage license in case they flee to another country. Other countries view gay marriage as a human rights no brainer and their license could be codified in law in said other country. My advice as a gay man who just did that.
“Fast forward 58 years to a hyper-conservative Supreme Court that has already gutted Roe v. Wade and affirmative action. Now, many Americans fear that Loving v. Virginia could be next, which means millions of Americans could be punished for marrying outside their race”. Thomas beware.
It’s 2025. Like wtf America? Get with the times already. So utterly stupid. Never want to hear another American talk about freedom ever again. For this and so many reasons.
Of course they are, and it should surprise no one. But sadly, and predictably, it will come as shock to some. The standard line these days among folks who refused to acknowledge what was happening in real time is, "How can "they" do that?" Well, "they" can and "they" will. Elections matter.
It was only a matter of time that MAGA would go after them w SCOTUS. Why can't they leave bedroom issues alone. This was already ligitetated and has precedence. Will Thomas have his way, time w tell??
Have a gay married couple who were close friends,now not close friends. LOVE republicans, “ they have our backs “ they were not high when they said that. Told them this will happen, told them the Christian nationalists will take it apart and2025 says so. They believed 2025 did not exist. Sad
Cool, then remove all state privileges for being married and it seems like there's no conflict. Marriage goes back to just a religious/personal choice with no legal status.
If you want the privilege to be exclusive, then you're a bigoted piece of sh*t.
Love is love. If you don’t like sex marriage, then don’t enter into one. Using religion & personal beliefs to deny others’ this right is an act of hypocrisy.
i’m a lvl 60 disabled, cis white male that confronted them ALONE at PP for two years until 01.17.25 and these are direct quotes:
“14 is the ideal age for girls to be married”
“we want the ‘victim’ and the ‘predator’ to form a bond for the sake of the baby”
“come here alone again, you die”
If anyone is sanctioning this, forget about what a hateful homophobic you are, it won't end here, they will completely erase any women's rights, they'll bring back child marriage. These people are rapists and abusers.

Fuck them. Every. Single. One.
Republicans have always been hateful pricks. Always.
That’s how Roe was killed. All the rest are next.
After 47 years of indentured servitude, I am staying single.
They are actually only in favour of freedoms that align with their bigotry.
Followed by no fault divorce, then property and voting laws regarding women.
We said when they went after abortion that gay marriage was in jeopardy. People said we were being alarmist, hysterical.
Pretty sure “I don’t like gays marrying” is a valid argument.

They must be unhappy in their own martial home and wish to make everyone 😔 😟 🙁.
Oh wait! What is good for us is not good for him!
If SCOTUS overturns gay marriage, the US is permanently dead much of the world.

Bunch of petty vindictive assholes!!
After they're done with gay marriage they'll come after inter-racial marriage. Clarence Thomas will be silent as a church mouse fo sho.
All bets are off if they "cancel" my marriage.
We are inclusive.

I also wonder when they’ll start on the voter rolls.

If not… you support Nazis end of story
That's certainly how Trump and every Republican is acting like how the system works now.
