Gay couples rush to take oath of marriage before Trump takes oath of office
Some wedding venues, photographers and planners are offering free services to same-sex couples before Inauguration Day.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Gay marriages seem a bit purer to me because you know it's not about kids. They legit like each other.
Just because same sex couples don't birth kids doesn't mean we'll stop trying.
Anything is possible through Jesus.
I see that more likely with 2 females than 2 males. Unless Arnold Schwarzenegger JR becomes a thing.
Lol yeah figured it was joke but I have heard of female only reproduction in the potential future. Which would be very interesting long term.
Life, uh, finds a way.
dk if that's even realistic outside a soap opera, but i Wonder if possible a female paternal twin that was absorbed into a gay male at the womb could have sperm from partner make it's way to his twins reproductive system somehow and get pregnant?
I'm heterosexual and we were marred for 10 years before we had a kid. My brother has been married to a woman almost 30 years and has never had kids. My uncle has been married to a woman almost 50 years and has never had kids. I have lots of friends who are heterosexual and married and have no kids.
And there are two queer couples I'm friends with that do have kids.
On top of that, I know people with kids who never got married.
Marriage and children are really not related except when it comes to certain legal issues.
I was thinking more being socially forced to marriage thanks to issues revolving around biological kids which to me "ruins the sanctity" of marriage. Meanwhile gay people don't have that issue. Like oh no someone got my pregnant if I don't get marriage my family stone me but my partner is a one night stand that I found out is a serial killer.
Sure, that happens, but I would suggest that's the minority of marriages these days. Not being married and having kids is just not the social stigma it used to be. The main reason, like I said, is legal stuff like custody and that really needs to be fixed.
I'm a bit worried it's going back to the good Ole days. So I want to say my peace right now that the only thing "ruining marriage" is people not doing it because they love each other not them being "the gay".
Side note: my cousin had a rush marriage cause she was pressured by grandma due to pregnancy. It did not last a year. Waste of time and money with added bonus of complicating 3 lives thanks to being pro forced birth.
I know multiple same-sex couples that got married explicitly for the purpose of being allowed to adopt.
Well least it's not like biological clock is ticking so get pregnant now or else leading to bad choices.
Well, some gay couples do have kids. Some men have ovaries and some women have testicles.
