The 10 Years Since Obergefell Have Proven Its Critics Right

Nathanael Blake  |  June 20, 2025

The alarmists were right. Ten years after the Obergefell decision enacting same-sex marriage nationwide, its opponents — smeared then and now as cranks and bigots — have been vindicated. Same-sex marriage was sold to the public through a campaign of lies, and the lies are hurting people.

It is therefore no wonder that support for same-sex marriage seems to have peaked, and may even be starting to decline, especially on the right. Of course, GOP leaders, whether from MAGA or the old establishment, have no stomach for the fight. They just want the issue to go away. They and the left thought that opponents of same-sex marriage should surrender or slink off into the social shadows and fringes.

But instead, the remaining opponents of same-sex marriage seem emboldened. The latest example comes from the Southern Baptist Convention, which overwhelmingly voted for a resolution calling for Obergefell to be overturned. It is not surprising that Southern Baptists are still against same-sex marriage, but engaging the issue shows that they do not consider it a lost cause. And they may well be right.

During debates over same-sex marriage, Americans were endlessly told that there was no slippery slope. We were assured that this was about loving adults, and that the gay-rights movement was not going to infringe on anyone else’s rights, let alone try to groom kids in any way. They lied.

Not only did they lie, they did not even bother to hide it.  .  .  .

What was supposed to stay in the bedroom, has metastasized into a predatory culture that demands a LGBTQSNAFUBAR perspective and practice by everyone that puts heterosexuals as second class citizens.

Not even going to get into thewannabe Mengeles trying to cut up and mutilate our children with transgenderism, and essentially erase womanhood.

I've never given a damn about the whole issue.

Once a line of acceptance is crossed...the line is then extended further and further. It's always been that way.

I knew a couple of gay couples in the past. Noone would have ever thought about them being gay. They just went about their lives...like all of us heterosexuals. At that time I thought that some ulterior agenda was absurd. I don't feel that way any longer.

The Roe decision was re-weighed -- and abandoned -- by the Court.

Obergefell can be, also.

But for that to happen, the "right case" has to come before the Court to provide the vehicle by which to do this.

'Til then... we're stuck with it.
