Washington Monthly LGBTQ Rights Are More Precarious Than Ever Play Episode Pause Episode Mute/Unmute Episode Rewind 10 Seconds 1x Fast Forward 30 seconds 00:00 / Share Share Link EmbedTen years ago this week, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right to same-sex marriage in its landmark ruling, Obergefell v. Hodges. Since then, marriage equality and LGBTQ rights have been increasingly under threat. Conservative activists are successfully weaponizing trans rights issues as a wedge to undermine LGBTQ progress more broadly. In this episode, University of Oregon political science professor Alison Gash, one of the nation’s foremost authorities on marriage equality, describes the nature of the conservative assault on LGBTQ Americans and how to fight back. She also discusses how the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs, which overturned Roe v. Wade, has opened the door to walking back protections for same-sex marriage.
