The article discusses the precarious status of gay marriage in the U.S. following Donald Trump's return to office, highlighting executive actions that undermine LGBTQ rights. Despite the Supreme Court's previous decision affirming gay marriage as a constitutional right, recent policies suggest a shift away from that protection. Activists find some solace in public support, with polls showing over two-thirds backing for gay marriage. The Respect for Marriage Act (RMFA), passed in 2022, provides legal recognition on a federal level, yet advocates warn against complacency as attacks on the LGBTQ community continue.
Just before Donald Trump returned to office in January, gay marriage was thought to be settled law in the United States.
According to a Gallup poll from May, more than two in three Americans support it, and nearly as many say gay or lesbian relations are morally acceptable.
The Respect for Marriage Act (RMFA) recognizes the legality of gay marriage for federal purposes, even with the existing executive actions against the LGBTQ community.
Support for gay marriage among Americans remains strong, evidenced by bipartisan legislation like RMFA, but vigilance is needed against potential backlash.
