. . . when, in reality, the political impulse to go after us was provoked by the TQ+ and their promotion of teaching gender identity theory to elementary school kids.

You got it, Julien. This is entirely on their shoulders.

I think they were always gunning to take down marriage. Trans have nothing to do with it, they hated us anyway. But why didn't they warn interracial couples?

To a certain extent, I agree, but I think that the mounting objections to what kids are being taught is being used by politicians to give them cover for a broader project. They're catching the general anti-LGBTQIA+++ wave.

Time to fight back. Fight fire with fire. Ban non-gay marriage.

Then I say we fight back against BOTH of them and keep on fighting until they have been completely removed from every aspect of public life whatsoever. Period. Nobody infringes on my right to marry my boyfriend anywhere in the world and gets away with it. Nobody.

…interfaith or interracial marriages.

I smell bullshit.

They will allow a Black man to marry a white woman before they let him marry another Black man. That’s why I got sick and tired of the smug triumphalism of str8 Black Christian shitlibs when LGB people were and are still fighting for our rights. Most of my teachers were boomers and that shit got real old real fast. I got just as tired of neocons hiding behind Black people to lampshade their homophobia.

I'm sure this is intended to be a test case to hand to the Supreme Joke Court.

It'll never stand, for obvious reasons.
If a state employee, a representative of the state, denies someone a right, then that taxpayer is free to sue the state, and will win.
As long as marriage is a contract abided by the government, then government employees have no choice in the matter. This may seem like a 'win' for zealot Conservatives, but in reality it will just get people rich from lawsuits.
