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.

Meanwhile a ton of conservatives are closeted gays

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

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

[–] tree_frog@lemm.ee 88 points 7 hours ago (3 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

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 14 points 7 hours ago (2 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.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour 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 2 points 6 hours ago (1 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.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour 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 1 points 4 hours 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.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 hour ago

Adoption, in many cases, contributes to a situation where pregnant people are coerced into giving up their child. It's a problem most people don't want to hear about, though, like most problems primarily faced by women.

Not all cases though. So project 2025 is going to be pretty damaging even in this area.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 28 points 7 hours ago

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.

Yeah because it matters who you marry.

State's rights means that if they can take away slavery then we can take away gay marriage.
