[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, they won't go after Obergefell, at least not seriously. Gay men are well funded and have significant institutional power.

Pay attention to the activities that have gained traction since the Roe draft was announced. Legislation to ban birth control, Plan B, and to prosecute miscarriages. It's really about controlling and punishing women. I say this as someone who is sympathetic to those with pro-life beliefs, but as others already mentioned, it's clearly not about saving unborn babies. [/quote]

The history of SCOTUS cases suggests you may be slightly wrong. In addition to the “life begins at conception issue,” I think this SCOTUS is willing to radically expand religious freedom protections. So, while the court may or may not overturn freedom of marriage, it will, in the guise of religious freedom and deference to democratic legislating, allow states to permit people to refuse to engage with or support gay marriage. So, you might be able to legally get married but private businesses wouldn’t be obligated to serve you as a couple, i.e. refusal of service at restaurants, hotels, etc. and crazy FL laws that essentially muzzle any discussion of homosexuality or trans treatment prior to age 18 would be allowed to stand.  And we may go back to the complicated days when a gay marriage was legal in Vermont but not in Tx.
