The Idaho Legislature’s first initiative of the year blasts same-sex marriage, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to let states once again regulate the relationship.

…

Reps. Todd Achilles (D-Boise) and Brooke Green (D-Boise) said they supported the resolution’s introduction in the hopes that Republicans would support introducing their legislation in the future — a strategy that’s had mixed results over the past several years.

    State rights don’t matter when the Nazis are in charge of federal government. SCROTUS can declare a state law unconstitutional without explanation to override it. President Musk can shit all over it and declare it an “official presidential action”

    Biden signed a bill restricting transgender healthcare for military families. OP’s article literally describes Democrats supporting a bill to ban marriage equality. Eric Adams is selling out the entirety of NYC for a pardon. Neolib Democrats very frequently vote against trans rights. Any time there’s a house bill about it, I can expect around 50 or so Dems to vote with the Reps.

    Yes, literally any effort is better than the Nazis who refer to us as cockroaches, but the bar should be well above capitulating to them

      That’s not what the article said. Read the next paragraph. They vote to let it go to the floor where they plan to vote against it there

      Voting to print the bill means we have the chance to debate it, challenge it, and vote against it on the record with our colleagues

      States laws will matter a hell of a lot. When roe was overturned things immediately fell to the states. That’s the most likely way the court would overturn gay marriage should they go for it

      In terms of trans rights that is unfortunately more true lately, yes, though historically any transphobic dems have lost their primaries. We can and should challenge there again
