America doomed gay marriage

BERLIN - Ten years after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling that legalised gay marriage, the White House is reversing a raft of LGBTQ+ rights and Republicans in at least six states are scrambling to ban same-sex weddings.

The other pathway would be Trump directly instigating the repeal. Last year was the first time this group was less supportive of gay marriage than those in their thirties and forties. Concerns over the solidity of same-sex marriage have been growing since June when Roe v Wade — the Supreme Court ruling establishing federal abortion rights — was overturned.

John Arthur left died before Jim Obergefell won his case at the Supreme Court ensuring their marriage was protected by national protections. But if gay marriage were overturned tomorrow, same-sex marriage would become illegal in 32 states.

Arthur died before the case was decided, when the US Supreme Court ruled in their favour in June and established national protections for same-sex marriage. A decade after the U.S. legalised gay marriage, conservatives want the Supreme Court to turn back the clock.

Leading human rights lawyer Al Gerhardstein, who represented Obergefell during the landmark case, said he believes one possible scenario could see a case filed at state level challenging Obergefell v Hodges, which then rises through the appeals courts to the Supreme Court.

On the 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationally, supporters say they are secure but also wary and watchful. The most extreme scenario would be that existing marriages are annulled. This could still happen before the mid-term elections in November The Obergefell case was concluded within two years of it being filed.
