Roe v Wade "race"? Does that refer to the 49 years during which nobody did anything to enshrine that right? Slowest race I've ever seen.
49 years of two party politics.
That's the danger of protecting rights only by judicial doctrine. It forestalls actual legislative attempts to create protections.
Foregoing litigation and waiting around for a legislature without any protections would have been much more dangerous. People were right to bring Onergefell, Roe, Brown, and a lot of other civil rights cases to the court and the court was right to rule on them the way they did. We just should have found a way to make the court less stupid about campaign finance so we could get a legislature that would finish what those cases started.
But for cases like Reed v. Reed and Craig v. Boren chilled the ratification we would have gotten Obergefell three decades earlier.
And "waiting around for a legislature" isn't the alternative. Civic engagement is.
That is 100% the goal. And then anyone caught having gay sex will be put in a camp. Probably a "conversion therapy" camp.
When it was illegal in the UK gay men were sterilized with HRT because of estrogen's libido-reducing effects, so essentially forced transition and dysphoria. I see the US leaning more toward camps, but this government looks like it would try anything to inflict pain on "undesirables"
Who knows? They might sterilize them. That was what drove Alan Turing to suicide, so maybe that's one of their goals.
They did it to Alan Turing.
Conservatives sweating intensifies
They don't need to worry, in practice the made people in their little mafia will be able to do whatever they want on the DL, but outside their clique probably even straight people will have their lives destroyed by empty accusations
Labor camps to replace all the deported labor
They want their slaves back.
The civil war never ended. It just became a cold war.
I will continue to eat and fuck ass no matter what.
Not all heroes wear capes.
Man these sodomy laws are a pain in the ass.
Ah, it sounds like you need more lube.
in four years we get to vote if we get that but for now the populace has spoken. no lube.
The Almighty Creator of all things, capable of doing anything at any time in any way... messed up. He was aghast. Butt stuff?! What was his creation doing?! It literally hadn't been more than 2 minutes. And so, God checked out long ago.
Now we have climate change. Super hurricanes. Pat Roberton was right. The gays!!!
I mean, we have no choice. These no butt stuff laws are literally holding the fury of nature back and saving lives!
