In the wake of the Supreme Court’s disastrous Dobbs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, enshrining marriage equality for all Americans, could be next to go. A Republican senator even suggested that the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision to protect interracial marriage could also come under threat. Our resounding bipartisan action shows how, despite these threats, we can overcome a filibuster and our partisan differences to reach consensus. This is not the end of the struggle for equality and civil rights, but it is an important step forward. It is essential that President Biden signs the Respect for Marriage Act into law without delay. Thank you for speaking up, John. We couldn’t have made this progress without your support. With love and gratitude, Cory |
