Both Alito and Thomas have signaled openness to overturning Obergefell.

Gay couples rush to marry and have children before Trump inauguration​

Ben Nelson and Adam Weinberger’s last-minute decision to elope next month was made in the heat of the moment, not only in the name of love. After being together more than three years, they were already scheduled to marry next October. But things changed, they said, once Donald Trump was re-elected.

“We kind of decided that we would take a step back and do what we think is necessary for our lives, not necessarily what our first choice was,” Weinberger, 31, a veterinarian, said.

They are one of many gay couples in recent weeks who are rushing to get married, start fertility treatments and take other measures out of fear that some of their rights might be rescinded during a second Trump administration.
 
Very, President Elect is very pro LGBT, The only guy to step into this job already ok with it. Go find anything where it shows him being anti LGBT. I'm a gay man, and not worried at all.
 
I fear that if wat and bigfitsbutch don't act quickly, they may never be able to be wed.

Trump is going to reverse a shit ton DEI and LGBTBBQ laws.

Sure, here you are:

Fact check: Does Donald Trump support marriage equality?​

“I just don’t feel good about it,” Trump told Bill O’Reilly in 2011. “I don’t feel right about it. I’m against it, and I take a lot of heat because I come from New York. You know, for New York it’s like, how can you be against gay marriage? But I’m opposed to gay marriage.”

In 2011, he also said to the Des Moines Register, “They should not be able to marry.” He was then asked if gay people should have the same marriage benefits as straight people, to which he said that his “attitude on it has not been fully formed.” After a moment, Trump said on marriage and civil benefits, “As of this moment, I would say no and no.”

“I’m just for traditional marriage,” he told CNN in 2015.

Additionally, during the 2016 election, PolitiFact rated gay former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney’s (D-NY) statement that Trump is against same-sex marriage as “true.” At around this time, he stated that he would “strongly consider” appointing conservative Supreme Court Justices who oppose same-sex marriage and would try to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2015 that legalized gay marriage. “If I’m elected, I would be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that I think maybe could change things,” Trump told Fox News. “I don’t like the way they ruled. I disagree with the Supreme Court from the standpoint they should have given the state — it should be a states’ rights issue.”
And
He specifically opposed policies to recognize same-sex marriages as equal to opposite-sex marriages while he was in the White House. He asked federal courts – including the Supreme Court – to make it legal to treat same-sex couples worse than opposite-sex married couples. His administration refused to recognize same-sex marriages for the purposes of U.S. citizenship for children born abroad as it recognized opposite-sex marriages.
 
There is no current case that has a chance for SCOTUS to overrule Obergefell. Alito and Thomas are likely to retire during 47's term. (Likely Sotomayor as well)
 
Both Alito and Thomas have signaled openness to overturning Obergefell.

You obviously haven’t read Project 2025. Gay marriage is on the chopping block. Trump wrote that chapter himself. He’s also going to implement a national sodomy ban. Local law enforcement will be enlisted to assist with enforcement.

Before the LGBTQ crowd freaks out, it must be noted that there will be some exceptions. The gay guys that Trump has nominated for cabinet positions will still be allowed to retain their marital status and practice sodomy.

You joke, but there are provisions in Project 2025 that would harm the LGBTQ community.

I hope you’re right, but I suspect that Trump will be transactional with the rightwing agenda he will enable. With the Supreme Court we have and the fact there is no mention of same sex marriage in the constitution, it could easily become a states’ rights issue within his term.
 
MAGAs hate LGBTQ people. They want to make dragging gays behind their pickup trucks great again.
 
Dontcha love it when racist commies tell you what you should fear?
