Equality of marriage was a major political problem in the United States for a generation, but today it does not matter.

The vast majority of Americans now believe that same -sex couples should have the right to get married. But there are new signs of brewing reaction this year, and a very different Supreme Court could, at least in theory, take what he gave same sex partners 10 years ago.

Ten years ago this week, in 2015, the United States Supreme Court gave same-sex couples Access to marriage on a national levelWhat was controversial at the time, but today seems obvious for a large part of the country.

Seventeen years ago, in 2008, California voters voted to ban homosexual marriage in their state.

Twenty -one years ago, in 2004, the re -election campaign of President George W. Bush won in part – perhaps largely – because Ohio was part of 11 states that year when voters also approved the constitutional prohibitions of the State to prohibit homosexual marriage, which potentially led the participation rate.

This year, in CNN’s presidential exit surveysA quarter of Americans thought that same -sex couples should be able to marry legally. A more approved part of civil unions.

Twenty-nine years ago, in 1996, a Democratic president, Bill Clinton, signed the law on the defense of marriage, which defined marriage between a man and a woman.

But today, a decade after the monument of the Supreme Court Obergefell c. Hodges decision, almost 70% of Americans approve homosexual marriage, According to some polls.

The country made an 180.

Civil rights lawyer Mary Bonauto, primary lawyer for the complainants, is expressed outside the United States Supreme Court on April 28, 2015 in Washington, DC.

“He has been a transformer for so many people to have a family recognized as a family in law,” said Mary BonautoWho pleaded in favor of equality of marriage before the Supreme Court and is principal director of civil rights and legal strategies at Glad Law in Boston.

The decision has changed their lives for millions of Americans, Bonauto said: they can produce taxes together, bring health insurance and plan families together. In this regard, he strengthened marriage in the United States.

The opposition to equality of marriage has never been part of President Donald Trump’s populist political message, and he has largely unwavering that his secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent is a married gay man. Bessent is the first openly gay married man to be appointed by the Senate in a republican administration.

But while Trump has no problem with homosexual marriage, there is a brewing background among the religious conservatives.

► Baptists of the South, during their annual meeting this monthcalled to the adoption of laws contesting the decision.

► Symbolic resolutions calling for the court to review Obergefell have been introduced in At least nine states Legislatures.

► Efforts to create a new legal class of marriage – the marriage of the Alliance, based on conservative religious lessons – which would be between a man and a woman and would make divorce more difficult, would have sprayed, so far, at Missouri and Tennessee this year. For the context, house President Mike Johnson entered an alliance marriage in Louisiana.

Blood Always fighting to have the Supreme Court Revisit the decision.

There are judges of the Supreme Court who came to the bench ago, while opposition to gay marriage was a major political issue, which – with a much more conservative courtyard – would like to revisit the decision and win the equality of marriage on a national level.

When the court canceled Roe c. Wade In 2022, Judge Clarence Thomas Called judges To also revisit Obergefell.

In response, the Democrats, who then controlled the Chamber and the Senate, worked with the Republicans to adopt a law, the Respect for Marriage ActThis canceled the law on the defense of marriage and would force the States to honor the marriage certificates in the unlikely case that the Supreme Court canceled Obergefell.

The associated judges of the Supreme Court Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas during the inauguration ceremonies of President Donal Trump at the American Capitol on January 20, in Washington, DC.

Judge Samuel Alito, Another vocal criticism of the decisionalso approved to take another look.

If Thomas and Alito were to obtain their wish, things may happen differently. The ideological balance in the court has been upset over the past 10 years. Two judges who supported the majority in Obergefell’s decision – Judge Anthony Kennedy and judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg – were replaced by more conservative judges.

But the curator does not necessarily guarantee a vote against the rights of homosexuals. It was judge Neil Gorsuch, who replaced Judge Antonin Scalia, who wrote a more recent historical decision that Extended protections of federal civil rights to LGBTQ people. He made the side of Thomas and Alito in other decisions related to the LGBTQ community.

Bonauto said it was optimistic that the decision will hold, but “this optimism is also based on continuous vigilance because there are those who seek to cancel it.”

By opposing the majority of Obergefell, Chief judge John Roberts predicted that the action of the Court could in fact mobilize opposition to homosexual marriage. It is better to let the states vote in favor in time, he argued.

“The theft of this problem for people goes for many a cloud on homosexual marriage, which makes a dramatic social change even more difficult to accept.”

He was wrong, according to public opinion surveys. Equality of marriage is now the norm – although Gallup ballot has shown decreasing republican support in the past three years, a peak of 55% in 2022 at only 41% in May.

Live and let live

Kristen Soltis Anderson, a republican sounder and contributor to CNN, Written for the New York Times Regarding surveys, she led with a coalition of GOP probeers for the freedoms of the organization Centerline. “Republicans remain very open to the idea that the government should not be in the field of interference with or punish people because they are gays or lesbians,” she concluded.

But this opening does not extend to the entire LGBTQ community, Anderson wrote, which was clear how the Republican candidates, including Trump, focused on trans questions during the 2024 elections.

“Republican voters seem to have made a distinction between” LGB “and” T “,” she wrote, noting opposition to things like affirmative care and trans women in sport.

I asked Bonauto if she saw a corollary between the very long struggle for equality of marriage and other LGB rights and the current fight for trans rights.

“What I see is that it was easy when people did not know the American and lesbian Americans, the bisexual Americans, to treat them like dangerous foreigners,” said Bonauto. “And I have the impression that this is what is going on with transgender people now, where so few people know a transgender person or have a transgender person in their family. It is, in fact, a small minority of people.”

Aggressive legal actions of states concerning trans rights today reflect efforts somewhat to limit the rights of marriage years ago.

But Bonauto said she was optimistic.

“When you get to know people, it can be the beginning of a simple awakening process at this idea of, okay, it’s just another person.”

The Americans, she said, tend to help each other once they get to know each other.
