Hillary Clinton has encouraged same-sex couples in the U.S. to consider marriage due to potential threats posed by a Supreme Court case regarding Obergefell v. Hodges. This case involves Kim Davis appealing verdicts related to her refusal to issue a marriage license to a gay couple. Clinton expresses concern that the Supreme Court might overturn same-sex marriage protections similar to how it affected abortion rights. She warns of real consequences for the LGBTQ+ community and highlights the historical context of Republican efforts toward such legal changes.
"There are going to be real world consequences for the status of same-sex marriage," Clinton stated. She emphasized the ongoing threat to federal protections for same-sex marriage by referencing the SCOTUS case.
Clinton warned that the case involving Kim Davis could lead to a situation similar to Roe v. Wade, where rights could be sent back to individual states, undermining federal protections.
