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.

    Dear LGB Drop The T losers

    You played yourself, they were never concerned about “my kind” appropriating “your kind”, they were never after us, they were always after you, we were just in the way.

      First they came for the communists.

      When you sell yourself out as a lapdog, don’t be surprised if you end up reaping what you sow.

        By being “in the way”, I mostly mean society had moved on from “The Gay Debate” and was now onto the “Trans Debate”

        The Conservatives needed to end the “Trans Debate” in their favor, even if by force moreso than actual public opinion, before they could turn back time to undo the “Gay Debate” ended in a way they didn’t like
