Oh, they’re frothing about it. It’s just that they know they’ll get shouted down about it. So they plan to go after trans people first.

Conservatives (fascists) always need a minority to persecute because their ideology is based on hate. Gay people ended up getting enough support across the board, after decades of effort, that conservatives (fascists) had to swap to targeting trans individuals instead to keep feeding the hate machine.

Wish I was exagerrating but that's literally what happened. Same thing happened with black people. They ended up getting enough support, after a Herculian effort, that conservatives swapped to targeting gay people.

Conservatives (fascists) are truly awful human beings.

They'll get to them after they finish with the trans people.

I grew up with Christian nationalists, and I can assure you, MAGA always has their eye on gay marriage.

They just know they don’t have the power at the moment, as their voter base has significantly eroded and some of the more normie republicans in the federal government can see that the Trump regime isn’t quite as inevitable as they thought it was almost two years ago.

Marriage is at its core property law that promotes social stability and commitment to a status quo. If you're gay but willing to pay a mortgage, raise a kid, and keep number going up they're happy to have you for the moment. I don't see it as a prize to be won but as a culture war touchpoint that has served its purpose and an option for those with previously subversive lifestyles to give up/buy in.

It's not as appealing or accessible of an option as it once was, and I don't think they can afford to be as picky as they might like. If we get to a point where the Department of Family needs your home for a couple with more traditional values it'll be another story, but I imagine religion, race, and political affiliation (in roughly that order) will be greater risk factors than sexuality. As is, getting married at all is a clear enough signal of alignment to be left alone
