Donald Trump’s ‘phoney stooge’ ‘outed’ as Supreme Court is asked to cancel same-sex marriages

The US Supreme Court has now been formally asked to consider overturning the landmark same-sex marriage ruling. In Donald Trump’s silence, critics of the president are now asking his LGBT supporters whether this is what they wanted when they voted him in.

There’s a supermajority for conservatives in the Supreme Court right now. Their interpretation of the law has been very favorable for Trump in his second term, so understandably, some Trump critics on X are asking why his supporters on platforms like Gays for Trump have joined the president in his silence at this very important point in American politics.

The legality of same-sex marriage was established officially by the Supreme Court with its ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which held that all states must recognize and perform the marriages of same-sex couples. This specific ruling is not directly in debate, but a former Kentucky county clerk named Kim Davis wants to challenge it, arguing that if a person is of a particular faith, they should be allowed to deny same-sex couples a marriage license.

Kim Davis attempted that same procedure and was sued, losing $100,000 for emotional damages and an additional $260,000 for lawyer fees. Davis has appealed in lower courts, and according to ABC, Davis and her lawyer had bigger ambitions than just getting her money back — they want the courts to reverse the same-sex right to marry, calling it “egregiously wrong” and “legal fiction.”

Lower courts have resoundingly dismissed her appeals, reasoning that her First Amendment rights weren’t violated because Davis was issuing marriage certificates on behalf of the state, which is not protected under the First Amendment. That being said, Davis is still believed to be in the rare position where she actually has legal precedent to challenge the ruling. And considering how flexible this administration has been with constitutional amendments, it remains to be seen how this will eventually turn out.

As Davis challenges the court on the same-sex ruling — and given Trump comments on just about everything else — his silence has been quite loud. On X, critics of the president were pressing his LGBT supporters for comment. One user directly asked Gays for Trump if the page had anything to say, to which the page declared that they don’t care about the Supreme Court potentially overturning the ruling because the owner believes there’s no way it would actually go through. But Davis and her lawyers are already citing Roe v. Wade being overturned as precedent. Some critics of Gays for Trump accused the page of being just another “phoney stooge” for Trump, given that the page that loudly supported the president during his campaign callously claimed it doesn’t “care” whether the law is repelled or not.

So, @GaysForTrump24, any comment?

Republican support for same-sex marriage has dropped from 55% to 41% in polls over the past four years — and if this case sparks a mainstream debate, that rate might fluctuate even further. According to reports, even within the supermajority Supreme Court bench, the justices are deeply disinterested in this particular case. However, if the ruling does get overturned, same-sex marriages that took place prior to the decision will still be legal and valid.
