No more same-sex marriages? Next will be interracial marriages.

Child marriages will still be okay cause pedophiles are protected by Republicans.

    Funny how this is a religious violation but I’ve never seen a catholic cop suing the government over complicity in someone’s execution

    I’d like some reporter to ask Bessent (on camera) about his own marriage and if it should be nullified by SCOTUS.

      Imagine if this lady put this much energy into being in a good healthy marriage instead getting married 3 times.

        LMFAO why is it ALWAYS a wild ride with these people

        Davis has been married four times to three husbands

        Her third husband is the biological father of the twins, the children being conceived while Davis was still married to her first husband. The twins were adopted by Davis’s current husband, Joe Davis, who was also her second husband; the couple initially divorced in 2006 but later remarried

        Davis says she experienced a religious awakening in 2011, following her mother-in-law’s dying wish that she attend church.[13] Since then Davis has identified herself as a Christian, belonging to the Apostolic Pentecostal movement,[199] which favors what they describe as a literal interpretation of the Bible.[200] She worships three times a week[201] at the Solid Rock Apostolic Church near Morehead.[13][202] Following her conversion, Davis let her hair grow long, stopped wearing makeup and jewelry, and began wearing skirts and dresses that fall below the knee, in keeping with Apostolic Pentecostal tenets regarding outward holiness and modest dress.[98][202] She also held a weekly Bible study for female inmates at the local jail.[13][202] In an interview in January 2016, Davis said that she believed that “we are living in end times.”[203] Davis also expressed her view that the Bible is infallible.[203]

        these people are simply fucking nutjobs, absolute messes

    I’m so happy to see everyone in agreement here. Lemmy is so much better than reddit. I just gotta learn how to use it all but that’s the fun part

    OK, so she was a county clerk who refused to issue a marriage certificate to a same-sex couple and was briefly jailed and fined as a result. Now she’s the vehicle to overturn same-sex marriage because she’s seen as basically the only person who would have standing to bring the issue before the Supreme Court again?

    But how does her case have any bearing on whether or not same-sex marriage should be legal? It’s a separate and unrelated issue. The connection isn’t even tenuous, it just seems nonexistent.

    I really hope the Supreme Court just declines to hear the case. At least Kavanaugh and Barrett don’t seem interested in revisiting the issue.

      When has a conservative ever given you a reason to believe that they are arguing in good faith?

      It’s the oblique route for sure, but could be just as effective in the long run. You wouldn’t have to actually overturn the legal concept of gay marriage, while at the same time being able to prevent gay marriage from happening in the future.

      You just have to empower the position with the power to deny access to a marriage license and then fill those positions with people who don’t think it should exist. With one ruling you could potentially make it legal to deny gay people marriages, deny women the right to a divorce, or whatever insanely bigoted shit religious people dream up.

      Well, it shouldn’t but the Supreme Court is going to jump at any excuse to overturn same-sex marriage. No legal reason, they just want to

      My guess would be allowing people to refuse marriage certificates based on their biased beliefs, and i don’t think this stops at just same sex either, it probably will extend to race, religion or just that they don’t like you because you were not “nice” to them
