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.
Yeah because it matters who you marry.
I've pretty much given up hope for the American people ever growing a spine and standing up for themselves, but if there's one thing I still believe can make things start happening it's if gay marriage is outlawed.
Though I will prepare myself to be proven wrong. That hasn't failed me before.
It'll go the same way it went for abortion. Red states will get worse while blue states stay more or less the same, which will prevent libs in the blue areas from mobilizing effectively to protect minorities in the red ones.
This, Roe V. Wade was the ultimate test, it was repealed and America went "Oh no.... So anyway"
Edit: Which means they failed
Anybody have any idea what'll happen to those of us already gay married?
Well with this administration, reprogramming camps, a.k.a. forces labor camps are on the table. So is deportation, erasure, and ''where did they go? I have no idea what you mean? Who could possibly say? They just disappeared I guess!''
Initially just the rights gained by it removed. Any tax benefits, recognition of dependent status, military spouse stuff etc etc.
Later a list will be created and distributed.
The public will be encouraged to refuse service to openly gay people. From there it's a quick ride to imprisonment and reeducation until it's similar to Saudi Arabia. Then who knows.
Marriage is a religious ceremony. The state should have nothing to do with it. This is the problem with mixing the state religion with theistic religion. Fuck the social and monetary benefits bestowed on those who participate. This kind of religious bullshit should be entirely removed from the state's system of violent coercion.
Marriage is a contract, not a religious ceremony. Being married carries a ton of legal benefits and rights that most people aren't even aware of.
There's a reason you have to see a judge and not a priest to get divorced.
Fuck off. My marriage happened in a judge's chambers without the slightest whiff of religion, as we're both atheist.
