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.

Anybody have any idea what'll happen to those of us already gay married?

Initially just the rights gained by it removed. Any tax benefits, recognition of dependent status, military spouse stuff etc etc.

Later a list will be created and distributed.

The public will be encouraged to refuse service to openly gay people. From there it's a quick ride to imprisonment and reeducation until it's similar to Saudi Arabia. Then who knows.

Well with this administration, reprogramming camps, a.k.a. forces labor camps are on the table. So is deportation, erasure, and ''where did they go? I have no idea what you mean? Who could possibly say? They just disappeared I guess!''

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.

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?

Apparently you just throw an RV at him and he'll do what you want. Someone should throw an RV directly at Clarence Thomas.
