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.

    International adoption yeah that’s definitely absolutely fucked. I will say I think it shouldn’t be a right per se to be allowed to adopt, but I do think that adoption agencies should have grounds on which they aren’t allowed to discriminate.

      Oh yeah for sure. By “nobody should have a right to adopt” I didn’t mean “only some people of certain demographics should have the right to adopt.”
