Summary

In response to Donald Trump’s re-election, some same-sex couples, like Ben Nelson and Adam Weinberger, are accelerating plans to marry, fearing potential rollbacks of LGBTQ rights.

Concerns stem from the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and past statements from conservative justices suggesting interest in revisiting the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.

While the Respect for Marriage Act offers federal safeguards, uncertainty persists.

LGBTQ-friendly businesses are stepping up to support couples, but fears of broader restrictions, including on parenting options, remain widespread among the community.

I was thinking more being socially forced to marriage thanks to issues revolving around biological kids which to me "ruins the sanctity" of marriage. Meanwhile gay people don't have that issue. Like oh no someone got my pregnant if I don't get marriage my family stone me but my partner is a one night stand that I found out is a serial killer.

Sure, that happens, but I would suggest that's the minority of marriages these days. Not being married and having kids is just not the social stigma it used to be. The main reason, like I said, is legal stuff like custody and that really needs to be fixed.

I'm a bit worried it's going back to the good Ole days. So I want to say my peace right now that the only thing "ruining marriage" is people not doing it because they love each other not them being "the gay".

Side note: my cousin had a rush marriage cause she was pressured by grandma due to pregnancy. It did not last a year. Waste of time and money with added bonus of complicating 3 lives thanks to being pro forced birth.
