Some Christian conservatives are working to overturn the Supreme Court ruling that enshrines same-sex marriage.

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.

    What’s wrong? Didn’t want to respond to the other 116 words?

    Go fuck yourself. I provided a paragraph of explanation for my viewpoint, and the best you could muster was a strawman of the first 4 and a personal insult.

      Nah, everything you said was all just staggeringly naive and amounts to nothing more than “they can’t do that, it’s unconstitutional!”

      The ultrawealthy want us all dead or enslaved, and nothing else will do.

        OK Doomer.

        Watch birthright citizenship; If its repealed, then sure, gay marriage is on the table; but I’m willing to put money on neither of these two things changing, because they can’t do that, it’s unconstitutional.

        Positively crazy how this thread went from “gay marriage is not protected by the constitution” to “the constitution doesn’t matter anyways”. To my knowledge, the Trump administration has yet to do anything anywhere near this blatantly unconstitutional.

        There are genuine things to worry about. Trans folk are being told they don’t exist; women are dying in labor because they cant get an abortion; people who even LOOK Palestinian are being mercilessly assaulted, and your choosing to spend your time worrying about something that is INCREDIBLY unlikely to be overturned.

        I don’t have time for this thread anymore, and nor should anyone else. This is not the thing anyone should be worrying about right now; there will be signs and ample time to flee before something like this happens.
