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.

This is all anyone needs to understand on the subject. They don’t give a shit about what the majority wants anymore- as they’re making it known far-and-wide that they are no longer employed by us. They’re employed by themselves.

They have a fairly large group that isn't going to change their votes either way. Then, they have another group that actually might stay home, but things like this motivates them. They don't have to care about the parts of their base that aren't going to change their mind.

"Liberty Council" seems to take away liberties. Yup. That sounds like conservatives all right.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 7 points 34 minutes ago

Very "Ministry of Truth" of them.

wow! What a rollercoaster ride

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 82 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 51 minutes ago

That's a weird thing I've seen in my life. Of the 5 most loud, vocal Trump supporters I know, 3 are lesbians. It's weird.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

Any LGBTQ person that voted for Trump deserves what they get. I have no sympathy for a person that can’t do the most basic google search and has no interest in bettering the world for other people.

The only reason most people voted for Trump was Money or Immigrants. Two of the most selfish reasons.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

Yeah.. she’s fucked. I wouldn’t be surprised if they anull every non-hetero marriage. And sadly, all the faces eaten by leopards will be of little consolation to those hurt by this.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 38 points 14 hours ago

All while pretending to be libertarians.

Meanwhile a ton of conservatives are closeted gays

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

If they can't be openly gay and comfortable in their own skin, no one can be. I fucking hate Republicans.

So ... when are they going back to legalising child marriage and removing divorce?

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".

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago

Clocking in!

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Lack of no fault also meant you often had to lie about your spouse in order to get a divorce. Sometimes these lies were agreed to by the spouses beforehand, sometimes they were not.

[–] tree_frog@lemm.ee 153 points 20 hours ago (5 children)

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.

That hits divorce, IVF, and IUI for heteros as well

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 77 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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"

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 33 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

except jesus flavored

There is no trace of Jesus Christ flavoring in whatever the fuck those "christians" are practicing. Even Satan is into punishing the wicked. These motherfuckers reward evil.

[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Mmmm holy infant so tender and mild 😋

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 14 hours ago

It's like maple flavoring versus real maple syrup. It's just a cheap imitation pretending to be the real thing superficially only

I'm worried about Loving v. Virginia, at this point!

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I believe Clarence Thomas and his wife are so corrupt that he will literally vote to end interracial marriage- including his own.

[–] manxu@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

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.

Obvious it was coming but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
