Conservatives push to overturn same-sex marriage: "Just a matter of when"

www.newsweek.com Conservatives push to overturn same-sex marriage: "Just a matter of when"

Some Christian conservatives are working to overturn the Supreme Court ruling that enshrines same-sex marriage.

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.
- Orphan crushing machine comes one step closer to reality
- 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.
  
  Mmmm holy infant so tender and mild 😋
  
  It's like maple flavoring versus real maple syrup. It's just a cheap imitation pretending to be the real thing superficially only
  
  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.
  
  Just remember the names assigned to the gospels are not reflective of the actual apostles. John is likely several different people. Paul wrote most of his letters etc.
  Reddit's academicbiblical subreddit is very good if you want non-theological takes on the scriptures.
  
  Thanks for that note. I’m reading it first hand without much supporting text.
  
  Yeah, it was a blast hearing the priest preach around Jesus' words during sunday mass. He died for our sins, now let's cherrypick his teachings to justify ours.
  
  and if the (forced into marriage) wife wants a divorce
  Well, you have to understand, she's much, much, younger than he is, nearly a child, she can't possibly know what she really wants. She's 17, he's 50, just the arrangement Jesus approves of, ask any Republican geezer and he'll tell you.
- Adoption, in many cases, contributes to a situation where pregnant people are coerced into giving up their child. It's a problem most people don't want to hear about, though, like most problems primarily faced by women.
  Not all cases though. So project 2025 is going to be pretty damaging even in this area.
  
  Gonna need a source on those "many cases" of coercion, I'd like to hear about it.
  
  I'm sure that's true for some cases.
  Many though? I'm going to need a source otherwise I'm calling bullshit.
