SACRAMENTO — If the “right to privacy” that courts have ruled is provided by the U.S. Constitution were a home, Roe v. Wade would be the foundation and subsequent rulings enshrining LGBTQ rights would be akin to the floors built above.
LGBTQ activists and legal scholars say that’s why the revelation that the Supreme Court is set to overturn Roe v. Wade, the historic case protecting abortion rights, sent a wave of panic through the community as many question whether rulings protecting same-sex marriage and consensual sexual acts could be targeted next.
“If the foundation of a house crumbles, the whole house is threatened,” said Samuel Garrett-Pate, a spokesperson for Equality California, an LGBTQ advocacy group. “The court is clearly telegraphing exactly where they plan to go next.”
A draft opinion leaked to Politico revealed that the court’s conservative majority is preparing to repeal Roe v. Wade, though it has not issued a formal ruling yet. The draft ruling, if made official, would allow individual states to decide whether to ban the procedure.
The situation led many in the LGBTQ community to question if overturning such a foundational section of privacy law in the United States could lead to a patchwork of laws in Republican states that roll back the community’s rights.

“I’ll be honest, we are living in very, very scary times,” he said of the Roe v. Wade draft opinion.
Wiener, who is gay, stepped up his warnings in a series of tweets, likening the situation to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian book and TV drama about a fanatical religious government that kills queer people and enslaves women to bear children.
“They’re coming for us next,” Wiener wrote. “They’ll stop at nothing to make us second-class citizens & push us back into the shadows.”

These people are insane. IN.... SANE.
Should that happen, they brought it on themselves with all the indoctrination.
“Obergfell has as much substance beneath it as Wile E Coyote standing in midair right before he realizes his predicament and plunges to the canyon floor”
It was decided on the sound footing of Equal Protection.
It’s safe.
Yep. We are going to dethrone ALL the pervs.
“What are they scared of? It is being remanded to the states.”
Yep. If it even happens ... based on current state laws it appears abortions would be allowed in all states except 13.
“They’re coming for us next,”
SURE HOPE SO!
We are living in very scary times but not for the reasons he thinks. We are beyond the looking glass, where up is down, left is right, white black and vice versa. And many many in society desperately cling to their fantasies despite any facts to the contrary.
As someone said, you can ignore reality. But you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
The right to homosexual marriage is not written ANYWHERE in the constitution. Even heterosexual marriage is not mentioned.
It should be a state (or church) matter, period! Even California voted against homo marriage.
What about women who want to marry frogs but can’t because the law won’t allow it ? Are they protected too ?
Homosexuals are afraid they’re living in scary times??? This is nothing compared to eternal Lake of Fire. Wake up!
They are all just a bunch of groomers. Of course they are next.
Aren’t they in a perpetual panic anyway?
Many years ago at the U of Chicago I was part of an effort to create what wound up being a short-lived alternative student newspaper. We released it during finals week and there were a number of articles satirizing the homo movement on campus (some of the satire turned out to be prophetic).
GALA (Gay and Lesbian Alliance) held an emergency meeting, the “Windy City Times” (Chicago city wide homo paper) gave us the front page headline.
75% of the paper was anti-Communist. We had exclusive in person interviews with Adolfo Calero (head of the Contras) and Joe Scheidler, and a number of articles about the Berlin Wall.
So, I did the Scheidler interview, and got death threats. I had a roommate with the same first name, and the rommate received the threat and told him “Oh, you want my roommate”, he’s not here.
The fellow who wrote most of the anti-homo-agitprop material received “male rape threats” (he wound up in the Marines as a gunnery sgt).
Always, always, always, the fags are in a perpetual tizzy.
“What about women who want to marry frogs but can’t because the law won’t allow it ?”
Snark for dumb-asses.
Frogs are not human and have no rights.
Sheesh.
Is that the kind of equivalency your mind conjures? The most absurd?
Drama queens. No one is “coming for you.”
Wasn’t snark. Point was they can’t arbitrarily change the definition of marriage and then demand “equal rights”.
It’s interesting, and a bit curious, that the most passionate (and often violently so) defenders of abortion are homosexuals.
At first glance, odd, right? What’s it to them?
The answer is in teleology.
The essence, the purpose, of heterosexual relations is life. Men and women re-enact the purpose of the Creator.
The opposite of life? The opposite of life is death.
Exactly. If they actually read the leaked draft they make it clear that is not the case and it is strictly a abortion issue.
I remember when a member of the Dave Matthews band freaked out because someone told him George W was going to put gays in camps.
They are all nuts.
___________
In my ideal world, you bet.
Yep, with any luck they'll start chipping away at Anthony Kennedy's "love those gays" legacy, first repeal Oberfell and give gay marriage back to the states, then repeal the ban on sodomy laws. Once the Abortion and Gay problem is dealt with, maybe America can get back to being normal again.
Don’t worry unrepentant sodomites you will face the judgement of God someday.
