SACRAMENTO — If the “right to privacy” that courts have ruled is provided by the U.S. Constitution were a home, Roe v. Wade would be the foundation and subsequent rulings enshrining LGBTQ rights would be akin to the floors built above.
LGBTQ activists and legal scholars say that’s why the revelation that the Supreme Court is set to overturn Roe v. Wade, the historic case protecting abortion rights, sent a wave of panic through the community as many question whether rulings protecting same-sex marriage and consensual sexual acts could be targeted next.
“If the foundation of a house crumbles, the whole house is threatened,” said Samuel Garrett-Pate, a spokesperson for Equality California, an LGBTQ advocacy group. “The court is clearly telegraphing exactly where they plan to go next.”
A draft opinion leaked to Politico revealed that the court’s conservative majority is preparing to repeal Roe v. Wade, though it has not issued a formal ruling yet. The draft ruling, if made official, would allow individual states to decide whether to ban the procedure.
The situation led many in the LGBTQ community to question if overturning such a foundational section of privacy law in the United States could lead to a patchwork of laws in Republican states that roll back the community’s rights.

“I’ll be honest, we are living in very, very scary times,” he said of the Roe v. Wade draft opinion.
Wiener, who is gay, stepped up his warnings in a series of tweets, likening the situation to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a dystopian book and TV drama about a fanatical religious government that kills queer people and enslaves women to bear children.
“They’re coming for us next,” Wiener wrote. “They’ll stop at nothing to make us second-class citizens & push us back into the shadows.”

Personally, I think you’d better worry about Moslems.
Their Koran authorizes your death.
My bible doesn’t.
You import Moslems by the thousands,
in the name of “Diversity”.
Aloha.
“They’re coming for us next”

In my ideal world, you bet.
What a bunch of whiners. No one is going after their sorry butts. The unborn are the victims here; not women, not gays, not the wealthy left.
What are they scared of? It is being remanded to the states. No chance California doesn’t have it.
If you kill humans, yes we will come for you.
Even Roberts voted against gay marriage.
Privacy only applies if you keep private stuff private.
yes we are
BWHAAAAAAA
They ought to be concerned, because as much as Roe vs. Wade was decided based upon a legal fiction, Obergfell has as much substance beneath it as Wile E Coyote standing in midair right before he realizes his predicament and plunges to the canyon floor.
One problem with being ruled by a judicial oligarchy of Supreme Court Justices is that the Constitution says whatever 5 out of 9 Justices want it to say at any point in time and a different 5 out of 9 Justices can always decide later on that they want it to say something else.
Damn right we are. The whole gender and groomer insanity began the second we, as a nation, condoned the same sex buggery and participated in the delusion that these people could marry. Time to end this.
Confused? why are they so upset, just because they can’t Kill Babies?
There may be a joke in there somewhere.
BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The homo rulings are based on Equal Protection. Sound legal footing.
Roe was based on wishful thinking, should never have been decided in the affirmative and is an affront to the constitution.
