Ten years ago, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. Now a new petition asks the court to overturn that decision. Read this summary from ScotusBlog to get up to date on what's happening:
You may want to look at some stats from the Pew Research Center on American's opinions about homesexuality and same-sex marriage. Be aware that the latest poll that Pew conducted on these issues was in 2023-2024, when two-thirds of Americans favored same-sex marriage; however, some people may have changed their minds since then.
It's also interesting to scroll to the bottom of that page and compare the very similar figures for attitudes about abortion, which also was legal nationawide until 2022. As I said in this blog ten years ago when the Obergefell decision came down, what the Supreme Court gives, it can also take away.
We may all be about to find out who our friends really are.
