Please use the temporary fear you felt by threats being made to your right to marry to support those in your community being actively harmed and threatened with our right to legally exist in public (trans people, immigrants, disabled folks, and so many others).

Excited that the Supreme Court has Denied the Request to Revisit
the Same-Sex Marriage Decision?

- Great! We should all be excited about it.

- But, Please use the temporary fear you felt by threats being made to your right to marry to support those in your community being actively harmed and threatened with our right to legally exist in public (trans people, immigrants, disabled folks, and so many others).
