The three victories provided a ray of hope for the LGBTQ+ community on a night that saw Donald Trump retaking the Presidency and the Republicans regaining control of the Senate.
This vote is a tremendous victory for fairness, justice, and love, said Tony Hoang, the executive director of Equality California, highlighting the significance of reaffirming marriage equality.
Hoang noted the importance of state-level protections following Trump's victory and hints by the U.S. Supreme Court that some justices may revisit Obergefell, raising concerns about marriage equality.
With the current makeup of the Supreme Court, there is no guarantee that the precedent set by Obergefell almost ten years ago will hold, a statement emphasizing the ongoing vulnerability of marriage equality.
