Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case that legalized same-sex marriage across the US, has expressed concerns that this right is severely threatened under President Trump. He cautions that the hard-fought victory could 'unravel very quickly' as multiple states attempt to challenge the Supreme Court's ruling. Obergefell emphasizes a proactive response from the LGBTQ+ community, urging them to advocate for marriage rights amidst declining public support, as polling shows a slight decrease in approval for equality rights.
The only thing people should assume is there is worse coming, and [Trump] will do anything he wants.
Those who think same-sex marriage rights are safe are 'fooling themselves'.
It could unravel very quickly. The Supreme Court could...decide 'we've got these petitions from these states asking us to overturn it, we think they're right'.
The LGBTQ+ community in the US should be making phone calls, sending emails, doing everything we can, right now.
