My daughter is going to pop the question this coming Christmas to make the engagement official.
Then the wedding next summer. They have already picked out their rings.

I am wondering now if they will actually be able to get married.

They’re in their 20s and early 30s who don’t deserve to spend the rest of their lives dealing with this shit.

Both of my sons are gay, and what this group of assholes has in mind for gay rights scares me.

We should be flying flags upside down. We. Are. In. Trouble.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia

Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), was a landmark civil rights decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that laws banning interracial marriage violate the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[1][2] Beginning in 2013, it was cited as precedent in U.S. federal court decisions holding restrictions on same-sex marriage in the United States unconstitutional, including in the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges.[3]

...that Thomas doesn't mention that case, but does cite all the others (Griswold, Obergefell, etc.).

Because they get neither of those things, so they attempt to make sure nobody else get those things either.

I've expressed the following sentiment, in different ways, in about 10 different responses so far.

TO THE SUPREME COURT MAGA JURISTS:

Unintended consequences, fuckers.

Domino effect.

You fucked up.
