“Next year, one of the cases currently winding its way through the legal process will end up in front of SCOTUS, and that’s that. Game over.”
Maybe the best we can hope for is for the SCOTUS to not accept any of these cases and let the lower court order stand. That way, at least there will be some of the more conservative Republican states that will still protect marriage.
The real way is to scientifically establish this is a sex fetish and thus abnormal. This will eliminate the born that way myth.
ALL these judges are drinking the born that way kookade.
When the 11th upheld the ban on homosexuals adopting children, they did state there is no scientific evidence establishing homosexuality as a born that way gene.
Arguing religion concedes the ENTIRE debate and all rationality to the homosexuals.
Yeah, it’s a possibility - kicking the can down the road, as it were - but I think one of these cases will make it in front of the next SCOTUS session. There’s so many of them that it’s almost inevitable.
Looking further ahead, I actually don’t doubt for one minute that the Millenials are overwhelmingly in favor of same-sex marriage - and when they end up running the show 20 years hence, all the laws, state constitutional amendments forbidding it, etc., will be overturned under the aegis.
