John,
We wanted to make sure you saw this headline from The Advocate :
Texas Supreme Court rules that judges can refuse to marry same-sex couples [[link removed]] .
The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to revisit marriage equality, but this ruling creates a troubling angle of attack that extremists will seize.
This startling decision that chips away at the guarantees of Obergefell v. Hodges and opens a new front in the fight over marriage equality. If you’re able, make a donation today to help us respond quickly and protect marriage equality! [[link removed]]
Civil rights advocates are sounding the alarm: if judges who swore to uphold the Constitution can now pick and choose who they serve based on personal beliefs, the promise of equal protection becomes hollow. It’s a precedent designed to undermine LGBTQ+ rights at their foundation.
And Texas has already been ground zero for anti-LGBTQ bills that target families, young people, and the basic dignity of queer and trans communities. But here’s the truth: our work is making an impact. More pro-equality local leaders are stepping up. More allies are defending our community. We are building momentum — but we cannot slow down now.
Victory Fund is fighting back by working to elect pro-equality candidates who will protect marriage, defend LGBTQ+ Texans, and stop these attacks before they spread. But this moment demands urgency.
Will you chip in today to help us build the pro-equality majorities we need — in Texas and nationwide — to ensure marriage equality is protected? [[link removed]]
