Just speaking for cases regarding discrimination for conservative Christian "liberty" or/and against trans people, it's not at all unusual for it to take a *decade* for pro-LGBTQ cases to reach the SCOTUS for consideration and when they do they typically end up getting sent back to lower courts for years or simply ignored on the shadow docket. Meanwhile, bigots are able to get their "religious liberty" cases fast-tracked even when they don't have standing and no actual harm has been done to them.
