Are They Coming for Your Marriage?

from Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & Life · host Shane E. Burkett

Send us Fan Mail Marriage equality is under attack—again. The fight that many thought was settled with Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015 is far from over. Right now, powerful conservative think tanks, legal groups, and grassroots organizations are mobilizing to roll back LGBTQ+ marriage rights. Groups like MassResistance, The Heritage Foundation, and Family Research Council are laying the legal and political groundwork to challenge and ultimately overturn marriage equality. And they have allies—state legislators pushing anti-marriage resolutions, Supreme Court justices signaling their willingness to revisit the issue, and well-funded legal teams crafting the arguments to dismantle LGBTQ+ protections piece by piece.  In this urgent episode, we break down: • Who’s behind the attack on marriage equality? We expose the key players—from extremist groups spreading disinformation to well-established organizations influencing policy at the highest levels. • What is their ultimate goal? These groups are not just trying to limit LGBTQ+ rights; they want to re-establish a legal framework where same-sex marriages can be invalidated. • Where do we stand legally? We analyze ongoing court battles, Supreme Court justices’ statements, and state-level legislative efforts designed to trigger a fresh legal challenge to Obergefell.  With Justices Thomas and Alito openly calling for the reconsideration of same-sex marriage rights, the warning signs are everywhere. These groups are not waiting—they are actively working on multiple fronts, pushing discriminatory policies under the guise of “religious freedom” and “states’ rights.”  This is not a hypothetical threat. If you think your marriage—or the right to marry—is safe, think again. The battle is shifting from cultural debates to legal warfare, and the next few years could decide whether marriage equality stands or falls.  Listen now to understand what’s happening, who’s leading the charge, and what we can do to fight back.  #MarriageEquality #LGBTQRights #ProtectMarriageEquality #Obergefell #TheyAreComingForYourMarriage #Podcast #CivilRights #LGBTQHistory Like, Subscribe and Share!
