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.
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.
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.
saying they care and showing they care are very different things
Yet, has there been a full effort to stop the genocide?
Rwanda and further Yugoslavia are both exceptions to your statement
Yugoslavia is an exception, but Rwanda only happened because the world didn’t care.
The world at large shrugged its shoulders at Rwanda. France literally handed over people under their protection to the Interahamwe, knowing full well they’d be killed on the spot. Belgium actually had soldiers get killed by Rwandan military, and did nothing. The world went to very incredibly great lengths to make sure that they didn’t have to get involved until after the genocide was nearly complete.
I’m sure Trump really cares about international law
He doesn’t care about domestic law. I doubt he would care about laws he personally enacted if they stood in opposition to his in-the-moment wants.
