Lawmakers in 9 states propose measures to undermine same-sex marriage rights

[Behind the Aegis]

Lawmakers in at least nine states have introduced measures to try to chip away at same-sex couples’ right to marry.

Five of the measures, including one introduced Tuesday in Michigan, urge the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which granted same-sex couples nationwide the right to marry.

Similar measures explicitly seeking to reverse the Obergefell decision have been introduced in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Idaho House passed its resolution last month by a vote of 46-24, and the North Dakota House passed its measure Monday, 52-40.

Lawmakers in at least four additional states — Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas — introduced bills that don’t refer to Obergefell but that would, if they are signed into law, create a category for marriage called “covenant marriage” that would be only for one man and one woman.

1. This so unfortunate even if expected.

It is my hope of hopes that the USSC doesn’t take this as a chance to overturn Obergefell. Scary times ahead. It’s my fear Red states will be trying to get as many civil rights decisions in front of this Court as possible in the next few years. I can only wonder how far back they’ll push the legal landscape.

WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM?

Isn't Michigan a purple state?

[WestMichRad]

7. Currently Michigan has a Dem majority Senate

… and a Dem governor, so this proposed legislation won’t succeed for at least the next two years.

2. sounds FASCIST to me

YES INDEED

12. Christo Fascist

What is the matter with these people. We won the American Revolution with the help of a
gay man Von Stuben and in WW II Turing invented a computer to break the German codes
for their u-boats.

Ignorant bigots.

4. I'm sure that will bring down the price of eggs.

6. These hateful people

Need to start facing the hate they want to visit on others. Every one of their remaining days should be made miserable. Until you punch a bully in the snout, they will continue to bully. Make their lives a living hell.

Fuckers.

10. Following the path of Germany and Italy in the 30's, plus actions like this are expanding in other areas such as

eliminating those who are viewed as "hostile" to this administration from the press corp.

We are so screwed.

11. DOA in Michigan.

[IronLionZion]

13. Republicans really like to move fast and break things

for stuff they don't like.

[NBachers]

14. "refused to vote for Harris!" I* agree. Just imagine waking up every day to a Kamala Harris - Tim Walz administration.

[maxsolomon]

15. Coming from ALEC? A similar Legislation Ghost Write org?

Can't see it happening in 5 places without coordination.

[DBoon]

16. "covenant marriage" sounds suspiciously likethe "sharia law" that got RWNJs so upset a few years ago

[valleyrogue]

17. Marriage should be gotten rid of altogether.

Women aren't things for sexual access and reproduction, and no sweetening the pot with "benefits" is going to change the reality of what marriage IS.

Just get rid of it. It is incompatible with women's rights.

It is gradually dying out anyway. Good riddance.

THAT is the real motive behind the right's tightening the screws on women's rights.
