    Republicans are coming after same-sex marriage – and won’t stop there
    “Republican legislators have proposed at least 325 anti-LGBT bills so far this year... That’s already ahead of the 268 introduced last year, a previous record. A total of 27 made it into law in 2021, for the worst year in recent history for anti-LGBTQ legislation.”

    "All of our rights are inextricably connected. Conservatives are not going to focus only on trans people and leave cis gay people alone. They’re not going to focus their energies on undermining reproductive rights and ignore LGBT people. They’re coming for everyone who doesn’t look and think like them. We cannot draw lines between the struggle for trans rights or gay rights or women’s rights: we are all in it together. The Republicans have made it very clear that if they haven’t come for your civil rights yet they will do so very soon."

    True. They are coming after us (trans) now because that's where the traction is, but they are not going to stop there. They want us gone, and then they will want the gays and lesbians gone. They won't stop until everyone is living a Handmaid's Tale kind of existence. They will bring back slavery. And there won't be any democracy left with which to set things right. They have to be stopped.

    Socially, that's what they are aiming for. Economically, of course, they want 2030.

    Actually they want the 14th century; feudalism and the ability to burn people at the stake

    and after the SCOTUS leak on abortion, you'd better know this is the first big deal... they will definitely go after other well-established rights, and the right to marry is one that hasn't been around that long

    In his majority opinion, Alito specifically mentioned both Lawrence v. Texas and Obergfell v. Hodges. He might as well have handed out boxes of road maps.

    First they came

    by Pastor Martin Niemöller

    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist
    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist
    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist
    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew
    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

    Although it is clear they NEVER read the book, they are attempting to guide us back to the days of Hester Prynne and the Scarlet Letter.
    I hope they do not start looking for witches!
