Not hyperbole: it might again become illegal for LGBTQ people to have sex in Texas if Supreme Court reconsiders Lawrence as Clarence Thomas suggested. https://t.co/PiNQjgPUaO

The news of Roe being overturned is heartbreaking, and as I wrote in a recent story, could well be a harbinger for losing gay rights. https://t.co/CCcUeiI6YU

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

if Clarence Thomas gets his way, it will also be illegal for LGBTQ people to have sex in the United Sates of America. That is literally one of the cases he referenced today.

Gay marriage (Obergefell) will be next to fall. 🏳️‍🌈

“At first I wasn’t sure it was really her, how could this possibly be?…I laughed at the computer screen, No way!—I mean, what were the chances? Then I wondered if it was some sort of sign. Serendipity?”

Enjoy this week’s story!
