TED CZ SPARKS DEMOCRAT FURY OVER GAY MARRIAGE COMMENTS: 'DISGRACE'

'THIS IS NOT OVER': HARRIS WARNS SUPREME COURT MAY TARGET GAY MARRIAGE, NTRACEPTN NEXT

Overturng Roe vs. Wa was a big step. But Jtice Clarence Thomas would go even further on ntraceptn, gay sex and marriage equaly. * going after gay marriage next *

GAY MARRIAGE, OTHER RIGHTS AT RISK AFTER U.S. SUPREME COURT ABORTN MOVE

After Roe and abortn, is Supreme Court's Obergefell gay marriage lg safe? Will Clarence Thomas end same-sex marriage protectns? Not necsarily. * going after gay marriage next *

What marriage may mean for gay culture Bee gay people and lbian people and the entire muny did not have the abily to get married, that was not a goal wh the muny. So you didn't grow up as a gay kid hopg for your weddg, bee jt wasn't a possibily. And so what I do worry about is, wh this opportuny beg offered to everyone now — which is clearly a great thg — maybe we will lose some of that imagatn that the gay muny has had the past to thk about how to live different ways and, you know, really offer a crique to straight culture of how we n arrange our romantic liv.

Supreme Court’s forthg opn on abortn says that the rights to gay marriage and same-sex partner timacy may be safe — but only for Monday, Poli released a document that shows the urt is poised to overturn the right to abortn cid the 1973 landmark Texas se Roe v.

‘NEXT THG WE NEED TO DO IS GO AFTER GAY MARRIAGE’: TN GOP NDIDATE SAYS SAME-SEX MARRIAGE SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE STAT

Wa is overturnedFor those livg stat like Texas — whose lawmakers never axed nstutnally unenforceable laws banng sodomy or fg marriage as strictly a heterosexual affair — Alo’s ference to the will of lol legislatur sets the state Capol, and not the urtroom, as the fal battleground for the qutn of LGBT their holy grail attaed — strikg down the right to abortn — will nservativ go after gay marriage next? ”While the fabric of LGBT rights would not unravel immediately, Kreis said would be much easer for anti-gay advot to ay around the edg as Roe falls.

Legislators also never removed the state’s law outlawg gay sex om statute, spe the Supreme Court’s 2003 Lawrence v. Related:'Homosexual nduct' was illegal 15 years ago. Banng same-sex marriage will be very difficult, he said, not jt bee lns of gay Amerins have already been wed but also bee their unns have already impacted other areas of law regardg children, spoal benefs and end of life cisns.

Banng same-sex terurse would be an ever harr sell if gay marriage were allowed to stand, Carpenter, he said shiftg the power to regulate abortn back to the stat shows the ailty of even the judicial cisns.
