On top of all that America also just actively persecutes queer people. People will say "oh that's just the republicans" as if that isn't half the country and it's not just the republicans, but a large group of democrats. Then they'll say "oh, but we're not as bad as [enemy of the week]" which funnily enough is actually a whatabouterismerino, but also not really a valid argument if you're saying it's okay to bomb a country if they're mean to queer people. So it's okay to be kinda mean to queer people?
On top of that there's also the fact that some of the US' closest allies are countries like Saudi Arabia, not to mention the many far right anti-lgbtq dictators the state has installed over the years.
On top of that the US has only recently gotten "good" on queer rights. Homosexuality wasn't decriminalised in the whole of the US until 2003 (and we're not talking some weird little forgotten law, it wasn't until a supreme court decision forced several states to finally stop being bigoted.)
At the same time the GDR had decriminalised homosexuality by 1957 and with constitutional reform fully legal by 1968
The GDR did this despite inheriting the nazis legal code (according to a wikipedia source which I will not fact check.)
Would it have been acceptable, nay morally right, for the GDR to bomb the US?
definitely, but not just because of da gays
If it weren't for that SC decision, I'm 10,000% convinced it still be illegal to be queer in half the country
Without a doubt
Make no mistake, the SC will overturn gay marriage if they think they can. They will outlaw trans people's entire existence, too. The only thing preventing these from happening are lower courts not kicking things up to the SC.
They'd do the same with slavery and Jim Crow if they weren't terrified of open rebellion led by a black vanguard.
It's so cool that so many fundamental human rights for massive swathes of the population are at the whims of a handful of unelected high priests of an ancient document written by and for slavers. Sure do love living in a Democracy™!
