Supreme Court Backs Same-Sex Marriage Amid Conservative Pushback

The recent decision by the US Supreme Court to reject a challenge to the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling has sparked relief among LGBTQ+ advocates. This ruling affirms the right to same-sex marriage, ensuring that previous prohibitions by states remain invalid.

However, conservative groups, including the Southern Baptist Convention, are poised to continue their efforts to overturn this landmark decision. The court's current conservative majority has raised concerns among advocates regarding the future of LGBTQ+ rights.

Despite the ruling, activists remain vigilant, aware that the legal landscape can shift rapidly. The rejection of the appeal highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding marriage equality as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation continues to rise across the nation.
