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.

wow! What a rollercoaster ride

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.

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 94 points 1 day 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 37 points 1 day ago (3 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.

Mmmm holy infant so tender and mild 😋

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 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

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I agree, there is no Jesus is those ideas. Unfortunately, there is some Peter and Timothy. :( I’ve been reading the New Testament on my own as religious exploration. I’ve enjoyed who Jesus is, but his disciples represent more of their times.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Just remember the names assigned to the gospels are not reflective of the actual apostles. John is likely several different people. Paul wrote most of his letters etc.

Reddit's academicbiblical subreddit is very good if you want non-theological takes on the scriptures.

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Thanks for that note. I’m reading it first hand without much supporting text.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, it was a blast hearing the priest preach around Jesus' words during sunday mass. He died for our sins, now let's cherrypick his teachings to justify ours.

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

and if the (forced into marriage) wife wants a divorce

Well, you have to understand, she's much, much, younger than he is, nearly a child, she can't possibly know what she really wants. She's 17, he's 50, just the arrangement Jesus approves of, ask any Republican geezer and he'll tell you.

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

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 32 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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".

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 12 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

Well, I mean, that's one way to get a cheap divorce, no?

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.

I've seen way too many lifted trucks with silkscreened AR-15 pattern rifles in the shape of a cross to believe this for one second.

Yeah because it matters who you marry.
