Obergefell has made marriage equality the law of the land for eleven years.

Let's keep that right alive.

Be sure to vote.

The current political power in the US is trying as hard as they can to overturn the Obergefell decision, but it still stands.

We need to vote Republicans out of office so we can get legislation — even Constitutional Amendments — securing against case law failing us.

It's been around longer than the Confederacy was around.

Still waiting for a statue of the Obergefells.

11 hours ago, as part of the enforcement of the new Reddit Content Policy against Harassment, the Admins shuttered /r/AganistGayMarriage -- which had previously been quarantined, and then went private.

The Evil is Defeated!

...they shouldn't be forced to get married to be able to adopt a child! In some countries, people get married just to be allowed to live together! So many divorces happen because people get married too early 😔 Also, think of all the poor orphans out there longing for a happy home...

Of course, if they're getting married for all the other reasons, that's fine.

They announced an update to their quarantines and quarantining policy this morning, and when I checked the other subreddit -- it was quarantined!

That's one of the functions I'd had in mind when I created this subreddit: to cut off the oxygen and audience from the hate group using that sub.

Going forward, I'd like to re-evaluate whether keeping this subreddit (/r/AgainstGayMarriage) open acts as an amplifier for their message, or whether it helps to properly contextualise their speech, and serves the ends of activism against their hate group.

Finally, I'd like to extend the opportunity to anyone who was drawn in to the other subreddit's hate group, to walk away -- to escape. If you are trapped in a social situation where you feel pressured to support a hate group, we can work to help you walk away from / get away from that situation.
