The people blaming religion should stop kidding themselves. If you could drop an atheist bomb on Texas and everyone woke up not believing in God, the fascists would still be fascists.

They're not enforcing religion. They're using religion as a justifier for their bigotry. I hate that it's the smokescreen they choose to hide behind, but we'd have the same problem with or without religion. Homosexuals are oppressed in Russia and that has nothing to do with faith. It's just tyranny for the sake of tyranny, intolerance for the sake of intolerance.
We know, but if religion dies out even more, they can't even do that anymore.

The people that fall for this were already inconceivably stupid. And I'd say st this point, their opinion means very little.
Oh I agree, except their opinion matters very much when they have the apparatus of the state to back up their willingness to oppress the people they don't like.

That's true to a degree, but it would at least take away a great tactic of theirs.

I dislike the ruling, but the SCOTUS ruling in 303 should have literally no impact on this.

Yet here we are...

They did

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect_for_Marriage_Act

This is pointless posturing. Courts have no say here.

No they didn't. That only forces states where it becomes hypothetically illegal to recognize marriages from out of state. So when TX eventually bans it, they'll still be required to recognize marriage licenses from CA and NY, but it will still ban TX couples from getting married.

The only thing actually preventing it is obergerfell, which this SC will 100% strike down, most likely with yet another fake ass case with no actual damages or injured party.

How soon until interracial marriages are banned again in the South?

They're working on it.

https://fox59.com/indiana-news/sen-mike-braun-said-interracial-marriage-ruling-should-be-left-to-states/

In a media call on Tuesday, U.S Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind) said that the U.S. Supreme Court was wrong to legalize interracial marriage in a ruling that stretches back to Loving v. Virginia in 1967.

According to Braun, the decision should not have been made by the countrys highest court and instead been left to individual states. Even though some states had made interracial marriage illegal prior to the Supreme Court ruling.

Religious fundamentalist, which drive the core of the current republican party literally want LGBTQ people jailed or even executed unless they "repent" and renounce their homosexuality or gender expression etc... and live as a straight Christian under their church doctrine.

Literally rounding them up and putting them in camps is the goal here. Make no mistake this is what a large and powerful segment of the republican party want.

My point is 303 has no bearing on this. It's bullshit. They were always going to do this. Don't even let them hide behind that ruling.

303 Creative is the name of the company that didn't want to make a gay wedding page for a straight, married man who never actually requested her services, and as a result the SC allowed for legalized discrimination against a protected class based off a fake, nonexistent case.

Honestly, I've been thinking about this. How soon do LGBTQ and other groups seriously have an argument for movement to another country under asylum for persecution.

I mean, when you have 50% of the voting populace at least and a large number of your own government's officials making it clear through legislation that you shouldn't even exist, and the danger it implies through large swaths of the country....

And they wonder why Christianity keeps dying with each passing decade. Christianity is an actual blight.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how few people believe in Christianity if the people running things still believe it or are using it to enforce their agenda.

The case they're using to argue precedent is. That case was a lady inventing a client that wanted her to make a gay wedding page which she then took her hypothetical to SCOTUS and they ruled she can use her religion to deny this client that didn't exist.

This judge is now arguing that ruling should allow him to use his religion to refuse to do his government function of signing marriage licenses for same sex couples.

You won't. And the faster this brand of Christianity dies, the better everyone else will be.
And since Republicans love to dehumanize us so much, why not dehumanize them back? Honestly, the only thing holding us back is our own sense of niceness and civility.
