I mean.. okay? You can live without a marriage and that's IF you're ever in a situation where you consider it as an option.

Possibly, but what's scarier to me is PrEP becoming inaccessible or expensive.

 

I mean, they're already threatening to ban birth control, abortion, and contraceptives. Are gays next?

And then RAW is Law gays will need to strap it up unless they want a huge STD epidemic.  Also if you think it was bad when the gays were getting isolated for monkeypox.....

I just think it's nothing compared to other policies he's gonna push against queer ppl, specifically trans individuals. The first thing that popped into my mind when the numbers started coming in is that trans youth is ******. Meanwhile, I can live a happy life with a partner instead of a husband.

its not a competition

Trump himself has not shown much of an issue with gay people—at least publicly. However, those around him almost universally support a heterosexual, Christian nationalist/conservative worldview—just read Project 2025. So, ironically, the best hope for the gay community may lie in Trump's potentially socially progressive views and his public neutrality on gay issues, which could protect them from the broader Christian Republican movement's efforts to roll back gay rights in America.

He wasn't as straightforward, but he was not an ally.

 

Do I think he cares? No. There are many things that Trump truly doesn't give af about, but he has to please his followers.

Good luck with that “happy life” when you keep making excuses while they come for your rights and freedoms and all along you have given them permission. You’re complacent. That’s all they need.

Don’t tell me to chill when I see you acting flippant about gay marriage rights. It’s not about you being American or not. This is an LGBTQ forum where these things matter to others and their future. Do better.

Why are you acting so childish? Everyone is allowed to have his own opinion and in his opinion the gay marriage does not matter as much as other important issues that may have a direct impact on people. You being gay and wanting to be married doesn't stop you from living with a guy for the rest of your life. Relax

[Gladiator]

We should be more focused on the senate eyeing it. I don't think Trump cares about gay marriage to gun for an attack against it.

[Trent W]

This might be controversial 

 

But I think the institution of marriage needs to become irrelevant 

 

It's ancient and useless to the current generations

 

If they take it away from gays an excellent way to fight back is to just destroy it

 

Honestly I would be happy to see that institution burn to the ground

[Rep2000]

Deconstruct the concept of marriage entirely is a new level of copium you guys just unlocks.

I wouldn't say so

 

The concept of marriage is already a problem in society

 

The fact that you have to be married to be seen as more valuable is already a horrible problem within straight people

 

The more gays want to fit into that traditional poison of marriage, the more will right wingers have power over them

 

I would say that even fighting for it to legitimize an union falls into heteronormative territory.

We need Baron to end up gay I fear 

[Katy.Kat.23]

It's not just about the ACT of getting married, it's all the rights you get for being legally married  I'm gonna give some of you the benefit of the doubt that you are too young to remember what it was like before it was legalized. 

[Smarticle]

Don't even bring up the idea

There's a lot of legal implications for same-sex couples that can't get married. If your partner is international they can't get a visa, if something happens to your partner health-wise you have no legal protection or guarantees as their partner, homophobic families may cut you off and stop you from receiving what your partner has left you in their will, your ability to adopt / have children will be practically impossible as a couple.

 

There's a reason gays have been fighting for marriage equality for literally centuries. To dismiss that is so.... ignorant.

[ClashAndBurn]

Look, the SCOTUS margins were set before Biden took office. If Republicans ever wanted to make a move on gay rights, they could do so with the right court case and there would have never been anything Joe Biden or Kamala Harris could do about it. Other than respect the rule of law, so they'd have to be compelled to enforce it or they'd be going against their principles of "respecting the courts even when we disagree."

 

6-3 margins don't tell more optimistic stories. Hillary's loss cemented the downfall of our right to marry only one year after we were granted it via judicial fiat. It was always on shaky ground. And Dobbs proved that it can go away just like that.

No one is dismissing, but people are entitled to their own opinion about it. It's not like the decision stands in our hands any way. 

[Flanders]

I do t think Trump will support that. He's a populist, after all.  But it definitely could happen
