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

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"

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.

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

That's a weird thing I've seen in my life. Of the 5 most loud, vocal Trump supporters I know, 3 are lesbians. It's weird.

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

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 83 points 1 week ago
[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

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".

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Lack of no fault also meant you often had to lie about your spouse in order to get a divorce. Sometimes these lies were agreed to by the spouses beforehand, sometimes they were not.

Child marriage is already legal. We don't have to go back to that.

No-Fault divorce is already on the chopping block.

'Til death do us part' is gonna be the only option soon, just an FYI for my peeps in abusive relationships out there.

Holy shit. This is fucking huge.

This is fourth reich shit, non-hyperbole. The definition of "First they came for the communists..."

What do you think will come next? Banning interracial marriage? Banning divorce and women having bank accounts? Or banning speaking anything that is critical of the regime.

People need to start freaking out about this right now, not when they're already on the otherside of ghettos and barbed wire fences.

[-] whydudothatdrcrane@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 week ago

Of course it is. Did you ever believe that it would stop at trans people?

The definition of "First they came for the communists..."

It has been like that when they first agitated in favor of bathroom and sports segregation, but many let it slide because they were all cis-genderist inside.

If only some trans advocates had warned that the anti-trans movement threatens the core of fundamental freedoms... Oh wait they did, but we called them nazis for not catering to our cisgenderism.

So yes, we reach the point where they also come for the gays, and of course they will come for women and black people. They have let on this shit very publicly.

I only sometimes history did not repeat itself sooo sarcastically.

TL;DR We told you so. Now join the resistance.

I just love the hypocrisy from republicans. They preach smaller government, but are always the first in line to take rights and freedoms away from those they dislike.

They may tell you otherwise, but their actions say they want to govern based on their own warped "Christian" ideals.

MAGA needs to unfuck themselves, and remember that this is a secular nation. You may not like who someone loves or that they worship a different god, or no god at all. Guess what? It's none of your damn business. And it certainly isn't a basis for treating people differently.

If they aren't stopped, it's only a matter of time before women won't be able to own property, take loans or have credit in their names, and maybe even have bank accounts in their own name. Only men will be able to file for divorce. etc, etc.
