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.”

It does seem odd that militant lesbians are viciously pro-abortion. They're not having sex with guys, so what's to worry about?
Run for the border!
Indisputable fact: It’s way safer to be gay in the U.S. than it is to be a baby with a beating heart.
Someone please explain to me; JUST HOW ARE QUEERS AND LESBIANS AFFECTED BY THIS?
By their very perverted nature they are incapable of reproduction!
It’s stock in trade; the left makes real, serious references to the fictions they create (or hijack) ‘cause they like people unable to distinguish between reality and their ‘narrative.’

Boy howdy that courageous Wakanda! It’s about to emerge out of the colonially-oppressed Africa any minute now. (and stop noticing what the ChiComs are doing there).
You kind of forget the new testament.
There is this guy Jesus, that changed
Jewish laws.
What about Matt. 5.17-18?
The only thing they have to worry about is fellow homosexuals. High violence, murder and suicide rates. Enjoy.
Plumbing? I couldn’t read article. Don’t know if it is my tablet, but I couldn’t scroll down.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens to state populations. If California keeps going down, that’ll be very telling.
Wish it were so, but not with the current make-up of the court. Too many sodomy defenders among the so-called “conservatives.”
On The Five today, Judge Jeannine said you don’t have a constitutional right to abortion, not like same-sex mirage (my spelling). She didn’t explain why, but I was left wondering.
There is something about LGBTQ that makes them believe EVERYTHING is about them. Not sure why they are suddenly so worried about privacy when they have been insisting for years on blabbing about what they do in their bedrooms.
When the Roe curse is lifted off the nation, I really believe the greatest revival ever is coming. Many of these demons will be broken off people. It’s going to be something.
Thanks for explanation. Today on The Five, Judge Jeannine said there’s no constitutional right to have an abortion, not like there is for same-sex mirage (my spelling). I was wondering, not that I’m happy about it.
“Obergfell wasn’t about “equal protection” in any way; it was about a devious ploy to redefine a timeless institution that is the very foundation of civil society.”
Equal Protection was the basis of the decision.
It will stand.
It doesn’t really what what you or I think of it.
I wish that was still the case, rather than out flaunting perversion out in the open and I trying to groom innocents.
FReepers keep saying same-sex mirage is allowed, due to Equal Protection. I dunno.
Not I but they. Geez, phone keyboards!
First argument I’ve read against the Equal Rights argument. Thanks.
