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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yep, that's the goal. Only the wealthy, who are otherwise protected from the arm of the law, will be the only ones who are not just chattel for the workhouses.

They need more workers? Impregnate more women via IVF, with the "economic exclusion" that will be crafted into law, that only applies to the workplace. Why worry about divorce when your master is choosing for you? Too many workers to feed? UID, ordered by your master.

They control everything for the working class, even the reproductive cycle. Even love needs to be removed from the equation. 1984 laid out the "why" for it all.

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"

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (9 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

It's the false prophets and antichrist of revelations. That's their whole thing, using the aesthetic of holiness to convince Christians away from the teachings of Jesus. On their foreheads they wear a symbol of their devotion to the antichrist.

I'm not a Christian and I think revelations was a really bad trip influenced by a fascistic wave during the early Roman empire, especially considering what a shitshow the Julian dynasty was. But still I don't see any good interpretation of their religion that doesn't damn Christian nationalists

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

You say that, and yet transubstantiation. Jesus flavored wine and crackers every Sunday.

My supervisor is a hardcore trumper - and also a lesbian who proudly talks about her wife. Nothing that is happening now is good, but it will at least be a little amusing to hear her "but the leopards weren't supposed to eat my face!" lamentations.

I actually know a few people in LGBTQ who voted for Bronzo the Clown. Have not heard their reactions to how things have been going since he took office.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Any LGBTQ person that voted for Trump deserves what they get. I have no sympathy for a person that can’t do the most basic google search and has no interest in bettering the world for other people.

The only reason most people voted for Trump was Money or Immigrants. Two of the most selfish reasons.

Meanwhile a ton of conservatives are closeted gays

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I once heard an old trans prostitute talking about her time in the 80s. As her friends and chosen family were dying en masse, she had a client who was an anti gay politician. She said how she once asked him why he was doing such things if he was the sort of person who'd seek out a trans sex worker in the 1980s and become her regular, and his response was that if he didn't do it he'd lose his election and someone else would.

At the same time you had in the 50s Mccarthy getting teased in the senate for being gay while running an anti gay purge of the government.

Idk. I've long held that the reason that so many conversion camp operators wind up coming out eventually is that we wind up drawn to doing the dirty work in service of ideologies opposed to us for a variety of reasons such as self hate, the need to prove we aren't like them, etc.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago

If they can't be openly gay and comfortable in their own skin, no one can be. I fucking hate Republicans.

This is all anyone needs to understand on the subject. They don’t give a shit about what the majority wants anymore- as they’re making it known far-and-wide that they are no longer employed by us. They’re employed by themselves.

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

I love how none of them ever had grandparents that got "divorced" before no-fault. You know what you did a lot of the time before no-fault if you wanted out? Killed your husband. Wives, when they were forced with a situation where they couldn't simply leave the state/country, would just poison their spouse. In the early 1900s, when your wife was often the one who was at home all the time, preparing all your meals, it was INCREDIBLY easy to do in a way that looked like "oh well he just kept getting sicker and sicker".

Imagine being so gay that you sit around thinking about gay sex.

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.

"Liberty Council" seems to take away liberties. Yup. That sounds like conservatives all right.

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.

Dear LGB Drop The T losers

You played yourself, they were never concerned about "my kind" appropriating "your kind", they were never after us, they were always after you, we were just in the way.

I believe Clarence Thomas and his wife are so corrupt that he will literally vote to end interracial marriage- including his own.
