Clarence Thomas

Five justices chose to ignore legal procedure and precedent to uphold a law that flies in the face of Roe v. Wade. Why wouldn’t they do the same when it comes to Obergefell v. Hodges?

Texas allows adoption agencies to refuse to work with LGBTQ parents. California banned state-funded travel to Texas in response. Texas cried discrimination.

The daunting question as we approach 2021 is, invoking the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “where do we go from here?”

The leader of the National Organization for Marriage is asking for help with his “plan” to overturn marriage equality. All thanks to the conservative justices “who are openly questioning the wisdom” of the Obergefell ruling.

With Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court and two other Justices calling for the ruling to be overturned, LGBTQ couples are worried about losing marriage equality.

The odds are against SCOTUS outright overturning marriage equality – but the conservative majority will do everything in its power to erode it by granting religious conservatives free rein to ignore the law.

As Obergefell v. Hodges goes, so go Bostock, Lawrence and Romer.

“Justices Thomas and Alito are inviting future challenges regarding Obergefell and to fix the mess the Court created,” said Liberty Counsel’s leader.

“The Court has created a problem that only it can fix,” they say.

The ruling is a rare victory for LGBTQ rights at the Supreme Court.
