"Reading through the leaked decision. Alito makes it clear that Obergefell and Lawrence will be overturned. This means same sex marriage will be illegal again in 30+ states, and homosexuality illegal in 12. It's not if, but when. This is a stage 5 cancer diagnosis for LGBT rights.

"Most states are gerrymandered to the point where changing the state legislature is impossible. Those same states generally prohibit voter initiated ballot initiatives. The notion that they can be brought back at the state level is a fantasy that only SCOTUS believes.

"It's also worth mentioning that Alito's arguments clearly open the doors to the return of sumptuary and cross dressing laws. [...]"

I'm not convinced that it will result in the overturning of Obergefell nor Lawrence. Rather, it seems to affirming them while saying that the right to consensual sex between adults and the right for homosexual marriage are not the same as the right to an abortion.

Alito's still going after all of it. He'll have at least Barrett and Thomas with him, barring any miracles or disasters.
