In a concurring opinion with the Supreme Court’s Friday ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas said the Court should now reconsider rulings that protect same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, and contraception.
The Court’s decision to overturn Roe in favor of Mississippi in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health upends nearly 50 years of precedent which allowed abortion until about 24 weeks of pregnancy. It’s expected that abortion will soon be all but outlawed in half the states.
After a draft opinion was leaked in May suggesting this outcome, many observers feared the Court could use the same process to target other rights.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It took all of minutes after the ruling was announced for those fears to be confirmed.
Thomas writes that the Court should reconsider other cases that fall under its previous due process precedents, specifically naming Griswold, Lawrence and Obergefell — cases which established federal protections for contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage, respectively.
“For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote.

Here’s how Twitter is reacting:
After wiping out the Constitutional right to abortion, Clarence Thomas says the Court should now 'reconsider' contraception, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage. This needs to be amplified loud and clear before the midterms. Peoples' lives and rights are under assault.
— Don Lewis (@DonLew87) June 24, 2022
Clarence Thomas explicitly states that contraception and gay marriage are next.
— chris evans (@notcapnamerica) June 24, 2022
Notice Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas isn't going after Loving, but is going after Obergfell, and CONTRACEPTIVE.
I hope men understand that includes condoms, not just birth control.

With abortion knocked out, Clarence Thomas basically says the Court should come for same-sex marriage too. What about mixed-race marriage? What would Ginni Thomas say? As the product of a mixed-race marriage, I'm particularly interested.
— Don Lewis (@DonLew87) June 24, 2022
Let us not forget that the SCOTUS will NOT stop here. Clarence Thomas and the GOP have already called to revisit right to contraception and same-sex marriage/intimacy.
— Adam Dryfhout (@AdamDryfhout) June 24, 2022
Justice Clarence Thomas today said he wants to overturn Griswold (right to use contraceptives), Lawrence (right to engage in private consensual sex), and Obergefell (right to same-sex marriage), but he never mentioned Loving (right to interracial marriage).

The repercussions of the Trump presidency will be felt for decades to come. And it’s not going to be pretty.

No doubt. That was a giant mistake by America. Not the people, as Hillary got more votes, but the American laws. The electorial college is such an outdated institution.
johncp56
Agree and sad, I hope there are enough of us voting hard, the are erasing us all slowly
Mario
Like abortion, same sex marriage is not in the U.S. Constitution and therefore should be handled by the states.
This is called federalism, which is one our republic’s core founding principles.
smittoons
Add this to the list of things Hillary was right about.
I don’t give a damn if a left-leaning voter thinks the progressive candidate is boring or shady. Gore and Hillary would have worked their butts off for us more than they’d have set us back, and you can’t move this country to the left if you keep letting the Republicans lurch it to the right every few years. It just keeps moving the median further right, especially the more radicalized they get. The only way to undercut the power Donald Trump’s Supreme Court has is to turn the Senate into a Democratic supermajority, one that doesn’t need Manchin or Sinema. Get angry, get in line, and get moving!
okokwhatever
Who in their right mind wants to move this country to the left? This country should never move to the left. Of course, it should not move to the right either. It needs to find the balance to stay in the middle. A centrist nation works. A left nation or a right nation does not. We should not be only seeing one side of the table.
Caine
looks like we got ourselves a bonafide right wing troll in the comments today @okokwhatever
barryaksarben
You are so right one hundred percent right. I was so crazed by the idiots on the left who didn’t want to vote for Hillary because of this supposed issue that the Republicans made up anyway. It drove me crazy she’s the most qualified person to ever run for office in this country probably ever but the fact that she was a woman with all that needed for the right to demonize her and go after her with everything they had including Fox News and the lies they spewed about this woman were disgusting. None of this none of this would have happened had Hillary been elected. Now we we’re here from other Democrats during the next election the finest too old or whoever we put up isn’t right or is a woman or isn’t liberal enough or is too liberal when it does not matter none of that matters we must defeat the Republicans at every level so hold your nose vote for a candidate and STFU. When we have some power back if that happens then we can begin squabbling amongst ourselves again but if we don’t defeat the Republicans from now on in every single election we will not have the ability to get rid of them we will all be in concentration camps or forced marriages or what other crazy crap Americans Taliban on the right is coming up with. You may think I’m extreme but you’re an idiot if you do because you can see it happening by the moment with this Republican Party. You would be the idiot

@okokwhatever,
“Who in their right mind wants to move this country to the left? This country should never move to the left. Of course, it should not move to the right either. It needs to find the balance to stay in the middle.”
If you want it to be in the middle then logically it would need to move to the left since its currently to the right.

How about Loving v. Virginia too because most of the Trump supporters aka racists I’ve met would like that to be gone too. He and his ugly Cu*nt wife can go f*ck themselves with a chainsaw.

Uncle Clarence Tom convenienty forgot that one but White supremacist US Senator Mike Braun (GQP-Indiana) already said this aloud by asking about allow states individually to permit or not permit interracial marriage, as was the case pre-1967! Maybe someone should remind Uncle Clarence Tom and his corrupt, coup-plotting wife Ginni, Mitch McConnell and his Asian American zombiebot wife and all the rest of them about this!

You think liberals are the ones to say this country? BOY, you ARE nuts. It’s going to take more than that. It’s not going to be the liberals who save this country. Nor will it be the conservatives. Neither party cares two sheets about us. If no one has yet to realize this, then they will continue to be lambs for the slaughter. Or pigs sent to the slaughterhouse. Wake up and smell what they’re shoveling in you. It ain’t pretty.
barryaksarben
I 100% agree. Every single reason not to vote for Hillary came straight from the GOP and Fox News. If you’ve been awake paying attention and seeing the good work this woman has done for this country her entire life you would have all report her. Now we may not be allowed to vote much longer if the GOP has its way. So on these next elections from now until I don’t know forever bite your damn tongue vote for our candidate just to prevent the GOP from getting any power because it goes to their tiny pinheads. Once we have our rights back in our power back we can return two squabbling and bickering amongst ourselves but we must stop the g o p and the Taliban Court from dragging us back to the Stone Age
barryaksarben
Okay okay you are the idiot. If the Liberals don’t save this country who do you think’s going to the Libertarians my grandpa LOL. The gop’s been dragging us back to the 50s every since Ronnie Reagan the puppet president was put into office. American Taliban that Now controls our Supreme Court, radical Catholics, will be taking away all of our rights and others too and you think the Liberals cause this you’re out of your mind you silly troll go away

when Ginni Thomas is arrested, Clarence will be removed or forced to resign. when Trump is arrested they will at least investigate coney Barrett & Kavanagh, if not remove them too. I’m not ready to despair yet.

GlobeTrotter
I lay the blame for this ruling squarely at the feet of Democrats. While they were busy pushing such utterly ridiculous policies like CRT and pregnant men, the Republicans were diligently planning and strategically executing their grand plan to take over SCOTUS. And thanks to 50 years of gerrymandering, careful vetting of judicial nominees and funding of partisan PACS, the Republicans have finally achieved their long-awaited victory – congratulations to them!
@Democrats: You hold the Presidency, the House and the Senate, but instead of a disciplined approach to governing, all we got was chaos and divisive, foolish policies that, while they may please a marginal faction of the left, rub old-school liberals and centrists as extremist and nonsensical. I hate to repeat the oft observed trope, but there’s no way around it – every time a drag queen holds story hour for kids, every time a transwoman wins in women’s sports, every time the US Department of Health and Human Services refers to women as “pregnant persons”, a democrat loses a seat in the House. What we’ve witnessed today is the utter failure of Democrats to come up with and execute a disciplined and coherent political policy, despite representing the majority view and despite holding the reigns of power in Washington.
And we’ve not seen the last of it. Justice Thomas (the REAL Chief Justice of the Supreme Court) has candidly disclosed the upcoming focus for SCOTUS – contraception, same-sex marriage and the federal ban on sodomy. So sit back everyone, buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride – Justice Thomas is about to give a spectacular master class on why ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
OrdinaryJoe
Your post is, sadly, dead on. The Democrats have been badly outplayed, and continue to be. The 6-3 majority will soon be 7-2, and may never swing back. Even if it one day does, it’s decades and decades away.

Sadly, you’re correct. Democrats need to wake up. 🙁

The Democratic party never endorsed “policies” like CRT or pregnant men. That was just bad publicity, which you (and many others) fell for.

It’s heartbreaking how correct you are.
My only hope is that Uncle Clarence Tom will have his world so flipped upside down with the legal issues of his traitor wife, that he won’t wield the same influence over the Court.

Sadly true. While we were fighting amongst ourselves they organized very effectively against us. We were arguing pronoun use while they were seating judges.

Democrats have not been pushing for CRT or pregnant men. You need to stop watching Fox–it just makes you more stupid than you already were.

Completely agree. I’m a lifelong MODERATE Democrat and I no longer recognize my party. Democrats (Obama) should have persuaded RBG to retire early in Obama’s 2nd term so as to prevent exactly what happened under Trump’s administration.

ManCanBemuse
What will the effect of this decision be upon gay marriage and gay rights, especially given the startling increase in the manipulation of AI algorithms and the growing sentience of AI in this political process and forum? How will this decision affect the ages-old conflict between the rights of men versus the rights of women regarding the power to make decisions on matters of life and death? It reminds one of “The Ecstasy of Carbon,” which describes a surprising outcome of this climate of political fractiousness and polarization.

Texas already declared homosexuality immoral. That in itself puts targets on the backs of the LGBTQ+ community. Likely just a matter of time before another PULSE Nightclub like event occurs under the guise of religions and hatred for the gay community. So sad.

We already know what they want to do with us here in Texas:
According to a preacher, they want to line us up and shoot us in the back of the head.
And according to the Texas Republican Platform released a few days ago:
245. Homosexuality: We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin, and we oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values. No one should be granted special legal status based on their LGBTQ+ identification.
317. Homosexual Behavior: We affirm God’s biblical design for marriage and sexual behavior between one biological man and one biological woman, which has proven to be the foundation for all great nations in Western civilization. We oppose homosexual marriage, regardless of state of origin. We urge the Texas Legislature to pass religious liberty protections for individuals, businesses, and government officials who believe marriage is between one man and one woman. We oppose the granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for LGBTQ+ behavior, regardless of state of origin. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
318. Definition of Marriage: We support the definition of marriage as a God-ordained, legal, and moral commitment only between one natural man and one natural woman.
319. State Authority over Marriage: We support withholding jurisdiction from the federal courts in cases involving family law, especially any changes in the definition of marriage.
320. Spousal Benefits: We shall not recognize or grant to any unmarried person the legal rights or status of a spouse, including granting benefits by political subdivisions.
322. Overturn Unconstitutional Ruling: We believe the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, overturning the Texas law prohibiting same-sex marriage in Texas, has no basis in the Constitution and should be reversed, returning jurisdiction over the definition of marriage to the states. The Governor and other elected officials of the State of Texas should assert our Tenth Amendment right and reject the Supreme Court ruling.
Other states will follow suit.

The people united will never be defeated.

We should have instituted term limits ages ago, especially for the US Supreme Court. It is ridiculous that SCOTUS judges are appointed for life.
Creamsicle
To be fair, lifetime appointments to SCOTUS were written back when it was common for people to drop dead in their 50s. Now it’s routine for people with good access to Healthcare to live into their 80s and 90s.
It is absolutely time to set term limits for SCOTUS, so that there is less incentive for both major parties to find and groom young(ish) judges so that they shape the court for multiple generations of Americans

NO ONE is taking your marriage rights away, Princess, so stop clutching your pearls, . I’m out and proud and, no, I really haven’t felt discriminated against. I’ve seen MANY videos and news stories about homophobic assholes in the world, but I, myself, have never experienced any incidents of homophobia. As a matter of fact, I’ve felt more welcomed by the straight community than I ever have from the gay community, and, (being slightly over weight and a registered Independent), have found more hatred and judgement from the GAY community than I ever did from any heterosexual.

Everyone commenting on here is being gas-lit by the media, (Queerty is one of the biggest offenders). And, no, I’m not a straight, white man, (but thanks for bringing race into it, as expected). I’m a big, gay, Samoan-American, and a registered Independent, that sees what the gay community goes through and what we bring on ourselves, (Jussie Smollett). I, (thankfully), have never experienced any outward discrimination MYSELF, but hear stories and see how rampant homophobia is in the world. If you want to do something about it, write Biden a letter; that is, after he gets back from begging Saudi Arabia for oil, a country that puts people to death for being gay. I’m more enraged about Biden going back on his promises than I ever would be about Clarence Thomas’ empty threats about ending gay marriage.

The reality is that a minority of voters in 2016, with the help of Vladimir Putin, installed a corrupt, psychopathic criminal, Don the Con, in office. In four years he created nothing but havoc and destruction, beyond pouring money into the pockets of the super-rich, and left us with not only a shattered economy, an empowered Russia, China and North Korea, a devastating and disastrously addressed pandemic, and a failed coup to overturn a legitimate election he lost by 7 million+ votes, but he and the GQP also rammed three lying theocrats–Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch–onto the Supreme Court, to extend their power far beyond his four years of misrule.
Had Hillary Clinton become president, as she should have in 2016, we would not be in this state of affairs, EVEN IF the right kept up its usual plotting and planning. Instead, because of a minority of voters and a fascist coup plotter, Don the Con, we now have theocratic extremists on the Supreme Court, and if Americans, including GQP gay and bi voters, don’t think they’ll go as far as possible, they are living in fantasy world!
As sad as today and this week have been, the answer isn’t to give up but to fight back, as LGBTQ people before us have, for generations! Do not give, fight back, and reclaim this country. The theocrats’ desire for a straight, right-wing utopia isn’t inevitable!

In the less than 2 years that Joe Biden has been President, America has been in protracted crises regarding: massive inflation, illegal aliens, open borders, gas prices, food shortages, baby formula shortages, rising crime, the messes in Ukraine and Afghanistan, supply shortages, energy resources, stunning housing and rent increases, huge numbers of parents opposing what their children are being taught and exposed to in elementary school, etc.
Even the left-wing board of education members and district attorney in San Francisco were recalled, and a Mexican-born Republican woman was just elected to a congressional seat in Texas that has been held by Democrats for 150 years.

The sad irony is that the “logic” Thomas used to refute Roe (and the three cases he wants to re-examine) also applies to Loving. That landmark case gave him the right to marry a white woman. After all, interracial marriage is never mentioned in the Constitution — just like abortion, gay relationships and birth control. I wonder how Thomas can invalidate those yet sleep with a white woman night after night.
Do you think Clarence and Ginny Thomas still do the nasty? I bet that they do stuff that can have them arrested under the pre-Lawrence sodomy laws
