My partner and I got married in 2013, our 20th anniversary year. It was a joyful time. Even watching Stonewall, neither of us dared to believe we could actually be married in our lifetimes. And literally, no one in our community blinked an eye, the state was one big party. Now at our 30th/10th anniversary, when Supreme Court decisions are capricious political footballs, we face the real possibility of our security and marriage being annulled.
Many folks aren’t aware that the overturn of Roe fundamentally changed the State’s role in our private decisions. The concept of personal privacy underpinning a woman’s right to control her own body was also the path allowing marriage between people with different skin tones and the decriminalization of gay lives. Gay marriage was just the next step on the continuum of ensuring equal freedom for everybody.
With the Dobbs decision gutting our right to conduct our lives without government interference, Thomas included the possibility of using this precedent to topple all the previous decisions based on the right to privacy.
God help us all in the state-run Orwellian dystopia we have already have stepped into. Vote like your kids and grandkids lives depend on it. They do.
