The same folks that worship a genocidal god & a violent Bible that attacks women thousands of times in believe they are moral in treating LGBTQ+ people differently.
These Republicans are not conservatives, but hateful extremists.
These attacks from these frauds & hypocrites are 100% antiChrist.
We already have trusts and POA but there is no way I won’t fight these people with every ounce of strength I have. They can shove their pious, poorly translated Costco Bibles up their own thirsty asses.
When the RepublicQans can't dazzle you with their dance, they will baffle you with their BS, and they're terrible at both dancing and BS'ing.
Oppression is a profession
F all these hateful, disgusting people who think they should have any say whatsoever in who a person loves and chooses to spend their life with. Mind your own damn business.
I just had a little textfrontation with my CA sister who says she wants to move to Idaho (she has never been there)
She told me 'I don't think you know about Idaho' (I have never been there...but I do READ about it)
This really makes me angry! Why can’t they just let people live their lives. Mind your own damn business and ALL people should have rights, not just some!
Many, if not all, of the privileges of marriage can be replicated by other legal means.
The government is coming after your same-sex marriage? Form a corporation with your partner, and make your assets property of the corporation.
Make a durable power-of-attorney in your partner's name. Etc.
You're welcome. They should be able to get everything right in a meeting with a lawyer. They just want all the legal protections and privileges of marriage, even if the government refuses to recognize their marriage.
Go for it mfkrs that will make me pay less federal taxes being single…when my husband and I got married our taxes increased by a lot.. we both you to get a refund
As single when married we lost refund and start paying taxes … the income was the same
They actually literally did. The "moderates" in Germany at the time said Hitler would have to moderate his politics after he took power and would become more reasonable. They were, as we all now know, so, so, so wrong.
Sure hope that all the wealthy gay Americans who voted for trump realize that he will *not* protect them, no matter how much money they throw at his corrupt businesses.
Grew up in the area. So many of my lgbtq+ friends took their lives growing up because of the Mormon church and how it treats them. I will never forgive that religion for what it's done. And don't think for a second that that's not exactly who is driving this. Such a hateful, bigoted religion
Every human being needs to explain why. It sure looks like they have chosen the willful delusion necessary to have their most base instincts validated by right wing propaganda.
It is just simple, shitty people demanding the simple, shitty stories they want to hear. Fascists give them what they want
The majority of Americans did not want Roe V Wade overturned but it still was. So many "progressives" screamed at me because I supported HRC that RoeVWade was THE LAW OF THE LAND and implored me to vote for crazy Jill Stein.
We’ve been together 30 years, back in the day we hired the best law firm in Los Angeles to draw up our Medical POAs, POAs, and Trust….we learned during the AIDS crisis how gay couples really had no rights. Sadly, young ppl don’t understand the rights they enjoy and voting has consequences 🏳️🌈
Yes, young LGBTQ people are clueless about this but they're soon going to learn some hard lessons. Hubby and I are 30 years strong here too, officially married for 10 years.
Right. I remember when or the hospitals and ambulances wouldn’t treat gay people in fear of aids. Which was awful because you didn’t want to get an aids test in fear of it becoming record.
Or not be allowed to make medical decisions for your long-term partner because you “weren’t family” or being forced to move out of your residence because you weren’t on title to the home. I’m listed on every house I’ve ever owned as “50% as a single male undivided interest” 🏳️🌈
I’m back in Florida, not that it matters anymore, but my partner and I just said I we need to get our lawyer to get things rewritten just to make sure. Because the home is under me. We are strong people and at least we are more familiar with their playbook this time. Stay safe!
Gratefully, Ron DeSaster terms out this year, sadly it will take a decade to recover from his draconian policies. It’s sad because Florida went from the live and let live state, especially by the beach to the State of Hate, in the end you’re right we WILL survive
You are so right. When growing up here it was very different until around the 90s you started to see a shift to a more grievance filled hate for some reason. We were all a bit wild down here until we started to divide and it changed to in fighting over dumb stuff. Basically the raciest got a voice.
We're so tired of this crap that I don't think we're staying around to find out what kind of persecution is in store. Tired of fighting. Tired of being hated here.
It truly sucks that we have to worry 24/7 about this. I am trying to mentally prepare myself because my partner seems to be overwhelmed and we can’t have both of us down. I told home to look for a place elsewhere too, to give him some mental safety that we will be ready if need be. Truly. So sad
And so it starts. My husband and I have just updated all of our legal documents - trusts, wills, power of attorney, health care directive - to protect ourselves as best we can when Trump's SCOTUS nullifies same-sex marriage. We are positive it's a matter of when, not if, this happens.
And the irony of this is a lot of Mormons became ex-Mormons due to their ostracising the LGBTQI+ community, especially the younger generations. I'm a "never Mormon" who watches Mormon Stories Podcast because it restores my hope in humanity. If you can walk away from that religion you can do anything
A friend’s daughter (an OB/GYN), her wife (an attorney) and their two children moved to Canada a couple of years ago to avoid a second shitshow presidency. I thought they were over reacting at the time. Now their move seems prophetic.
My husband and I met with our lawyer last month to work on wills, powers of attorney, titles, etc before the new administration takes office. All while my evangelical family kept saying not to worry because Republicans would NEVER go after marriage equality (wink wink).
No, they will say, it was never right for us to get married - remember, they are not like normal gays, they are cool gays that hate themselves,and will do anything to be expected, even if it goes against other gays. Selfish
It is not that simple. I am just saying I know where they are coming from, not that I agree with it. The tax thing is a joke, with the insurance and property tax, basically pay the same as I did in Chicago.
Then I moved to Chicago and started changing my perspective and realizing everyone is allowed to be who they are, regardless, how you feel about it as long as it’s not causing harm on lives.
I hate to admit this, but when I was younger, I was similar in this aspect, acting more what I thought was straight and vulgar to get the laughs to be one of the guys.
Isn't it time to call those republicans illegitimate?
Also, we should realize that we are no longer at a point where we can reason with that crowd. They are going full force and do not care about any arguments.
In which case, gay marriage should be decided under Strict Scrutiny! Using the definition of marriage was the wrong choice. It left it open for crap like this.
I really don't get Clarence Thomas. If he's ok with overturning LGBT marriage equality, doesn't he see that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from rolling back interracial marriage?
It is not righteous or good for others to judge one another. To oppress minorities based upon your personal religious belief. For governmental purposes, a marriage is a contract. Between two individuals.
RepublicaNazis are always screaming they want to "get the government off the backs of the people." But they're always pushing the courts to intrude on the private lives of women, gays and everyone else they hate.
MAGATS are impervious to shame, irony, remorse, contrition and unable or unwilling to see hypocrisy in their actions. I make note of each and every example for future use.
I do think that we should just require a civil union to get a tax break. You got married? Great! Hipe you had fun at your personal religious party you threw for yourself - now go get a civil union for the state to recognize it. 🤷♂️
That's what I've been calling it. Glad to see I'm not the only one! Scary times. Every hour a woman in Afghanistan is dying from complications due to childbirth or pregnancy. I fear we are heading in that direction on so many fronts.
Nothing's been reversed yet. Just a bunch of homophobic yahoo phony so called "christians" - MAGA Cult freaks and haters - trying to inflict pain and suffering on our fellow Americans. NFW Not again. Not in our America. The lines are drawn. They are in for the fight of their lives. They will lose.
To all those people who voted for Trump and believed that his idea of leaving abortion and other things to the States was a good thing... THIS is what happens when you "leave it to the States"!
To my LBGTQ friends and family - we stand with you - to the end - in solidarity, strength and power. If they go there, they will experience a mass Resistance in this country they cannot fathom.
“Natural definition of marriage” according to whom? These hateful fucks just make shit up and act like it’s some kind of divine decree that we’re all supposed to obey. Fuck that…and fuck them.
As iof the Nazis ever cared about their wives or their children. Musk has a dozen kids and spent Thanksgiving with Trump, who also avoided his wife and kids. Just another avalanche of absolute Patriarchal fucking bullshit up one side and down the other.
I get the feeling the conservatives are meddling in society as it evolves with time and enlightenment. It's like keeping America stuck in the 1950s. It's an attack on younger generations, like they did better with it than now.

Sigh. My SILs had no marriage rights for decades of them being together and filed all this legal stuff. They married after Obergefell.
Now we're back to this 😩
We are entering some dark times. Buckle up. Be ready.
I believe that makes them sociopaths
Also, we should realize that we are no longer at a point where we can reason with that crowd. They are going full force and do not care about any arguments.
It feels like a civil war is already raging.
like, for merging kingdoms?
Bet you they won't take that one up.
