I would be amazed if the first Obergfell challenges are not filed before the end of the year.

if i remember, “gay” marriage lost on every ballot it was ever on...even California by over a 2-1 margin. The SC was 5-4 on it...so basically, one un-elected judge, Anthony Kennedy, redefined marriage...that alone is galling.

Good luck demonstrating "standing". It's the same problem as suing to enforce elections laws. Leftist judges deny anyone has "standing" to bring a case.

Although Obergefell is an arbitrary and lawless decision, it may be difficult to challenge in court because of "standing." If you try to sue saying that you find so-called homosexual marriage offensive, the courts are likely to say that is not an injury that they recognize.

The deep damage that so-called homosexual marriage causes society at large is subtle and diffuse. I would be glad to be proven wrong, but I think this is going to a tough row to hoe.

I suppose the most promising route would be for a State to outlaw so-called homosexual marriage and provoke homosexuals into suing to overturn the law. Or a State could refuse to recognize so-called homosexual marriage in matters of inheritance and taxation, and again provoke homosexuals to sue.
