    I have no illusions. They are going to weaponize their majority on the court to completely change society.

    Very possible I’m naive. I just don’t hear much of a push for those things to be the marriage issue. Guess shouldn’t take anything for granted.

    People really don’t think places like Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and Florida wouldn’t push to ban gay marriage in an instant?

    Jesus Christ at you people with your head in the sand on LGBTQ+ issues. They’ll outlaw gay marriage in an instant in red states. It doesn’t matter what your friends think or how you live your life. Politicians are ghouls just waiting to end this stuff.

    Florida just made it illegal for a gay teacher to talk about and have pictures with their partners in their classes and you don’t think they’d ban gay marriage?

    Roberts makes a lot more sense. He was clearly wanting to chip away at Roe rather than overturning it. What motive would Gorsuch have?

    Every unenumerated right the Supreme Court has blessed in the past fifty years under the 14th Amendment is under attack by this unpublished draft opinion. Every single one. They all flow from the same logical premise that R v W created. SCOTUS is opening the doors for conservative legislatures to butt fuck our country, or at least the South, backwards 100 years in terms of civil liberties. Gay marriage, interracial marriage, affirmative action, the right to contraception, sodomy - ALL of it is on the chopping block. I cannot stress how dangerous Alito's made up "deeply rooted in our nation's history and traditions" test the majority is sponsoring truly is.

    :laugh: I still can’t get over the pushback we got about saying just make it rotation of randoms. You’d literally be lucky to find 6 people as evil as the current crop or conservative justices. ACB literally is only on the court because she’s an insane evil ass Christian fundamentalist.

    Our legislature changed the marriage process so that probate judges wouldn't have to issue marriage licenses to gay people.

    For every idiot posting about state legislature's won't take the bait - please take a look at the below tweet which was posted earlier in this thread. A moderator should pin this tweet to the top of every page of this thread.

    For every idiot posting that the state legislatures won't have a race to the bottom to outlaw gay marriage, interracial marriage, sodomy and others if given the chance - You are a fool. Not only will they instantly ban these things; they will revel in creating punishments for these things that sidestep other constitutional triggers that could otherwise nullify their new laws. It will take the state legislatures less than six months to undo fifty years of progress. It will be a repulsive and sickening display of authoritarian rule by a group of people stuck in the past.

    So back in the 1970s, 9 god kings decreed that abortion is federally legal and because of the precedent of that decree, it is forever untouchable?

    I was limiting what I was saying to marriage only. I definitely think attacks on gays are coming, and more specifically on transgender. Just based on my experiences, it seemed like people had moved on from the marriage issue, but that may be completely wrong.
