“There’s a reason that the politics on gay marriage shifted so quickly.”
Yea. Despite state laws and referendums expressing the will of the people, gay marriage was shoved down our throats like abortion. Kennedy said anyone who opposes the decision is a bigot. Opponents didn’t embrace gay marriage. They just shook their heads and sucked it up. Now are kids are groomed in kindergarten and the Boy Scouts are bankrupt.
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court (5-4) struck down all state bans on same-sex marriage, legalized it in all fifty states, and required states to honor out-of-state same-sex marriage licenses in the case Obergefell v. Hodges.
Rather, they say, the push for legislation is the latest iteration of post-pandemic conservative organizing around public schools and is similar to the move against teaching what conservatives have characterized as “critical race theory.”
Two things. Equating and reinforcing the equivalence of mental illness and race, and pulling the ol' switcheroo with CRT. They came up with the theory, conservatives just call it out when it is being shoved down our children's throat.
