AFAIK gay marriage is still legal in all states. Weirdly that’s one they haven’t been able to crack.
It’s federally legal, but far as I can tell, some states don’t recognize those marriages, and others outright prohibit them, although it’s not enforceable. Still fucked up, IMO.
AFAIK, states are not allowed to prohibit same-sex marriages. Individual cities/towns can refuse to perform a marriage, but they still must recognize a marriage that was performed elsewhere.
It's just allowing the bigots to inconvenience queer people for no reason. It doesn't really prevent marriages (yet).
Clarence Thomas said it should be revisited after Roe got struck down.
Oh yeah, him and Alito both have been big mad about it for ages now.
I think the Republican elites don't hate gays as much as they used to due to prominent GOP members having openly gay children (like McCain's daughter).
I see it as a three way deadlock (older Republicans that are GOP) that accepted gay people, younger Republicans who are not exactly for it but don't persecute them, Trump/MTG (Trumplibicans) who just say stereotypical bigotry even though they are "sexual deviants" by their own standards.
