Summary

In response to Donald Trump’s re-election, some same-sex couples, like Ben Nelson and Adam Weinberger, are accelerating plans to marry, fearing potential rollbacks of LGBTQ rights.

Concerns stem from the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and past statements from conservative justices suggesting interest in revisiting the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.

While the Respect for Marriage Act offers federal safeguards, uncertainty persists.

LGBTQ-friendly businesses are stepping up to support couples, but fears of broader restrictions, including on parenting options, remain widespread among the community.

Do these people not realize that the government can just invalidate their marriage and punish them?

Breaking up marriages is recognized worldwide as an act of genocide, but putting restrictions on who can marry isn’t as universally recognized.

They did it to my mom. She and her partner drove to San Francisco on that weekend when they were doing gay marriages in the mid 2000s. That ,marriage was canceled once they straightened iut the laws.

They're legally wed right here in Arizona now, but I wouldn't put it past these fucks to try to annul their marriage again.

The world hasn't cared about genocides since 1945.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

The world has never cared about a genocide that happened within a nation's borders.

Had Hitler not invaded other countries, there wouldn't have been any consequences more severe than a public condemnation.

Hell, there would have provably been foreign support for genociding Romani people.

Odd statement. The world has cared a lot more about genocide after 1945.

Yet, has there been a full effort to stop the genocide?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

I'm sure Trump really cares about international law

I'd personally be afraid I'd be putting myself on a termination list tbh, but others are probably braver than me.
