Ten years ago this week, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right to same-sex marriage in its landmark ruling, Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then, marriage equality and LGBTQ rights have been increasingly under threat. Conservatives activists are successfully weaponizing trans rights issues as a wedge to undermine LGBTQ progress more broadly.
In this episde, University of Oregon political science professor Alison Gash – one of the nation’s foremost authorities on marriage equality – describes the nature of the conservative assault on LGBTQ Americans and how to fight back. She also discusses how the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs – which overturned Roe v. Wade – has opened the door to walking back protections for same-sex marriage. Cohosts: Anne Kim and Garrett Epps.
