Can’t get healthcare if you don’t have a job, and even if you can, it’s super expensive and not likely to cover everything.
So I guess, just make sure that you’re born well-to-do, never make any mistakes, and are a straight, cis-gender man. Really narrows things down and puts life into clear perspective.
It’s federally legal, but far as I can tell, some states don’t recognize those marriages, and others outright prohibit them, although it’s not enforceable. Still fucked up, IMO.
AFAIK, states are not allowed to prohibit same-sex marriages. Individual cities/towns can refuse to perform a marriage, but they still must recognize a marriage that was performed elsewhere.
It’s just allowing the bigots to inconvenience queer people for no reason. It doesn’t really prevent marriages (yet).
I think the Republican elites don’t hate gays as much as they used to due to prominent GOP members having openly gay children (like McCain’s daughter).
I see it as a three way deadlock (older Republicans that are GOP) that accepted gay people, younger Republicans who are not exactly for it but don’t persecute them, Trump/MTG (Trumplibicans) who just say stereotypical bigotry even though they are “sexual deviants” by their own standards.
So, in many states…

Don’t forget they charge for every day in jail
Jeez. It’s sort of the worst kind of dystopic future there is.
Concrete walls, iron bars, hard labor, and an ever increasing debt.
Maybe I’m dumb, but how hard would it be to just not agree to work? They gonna beat you to death? Sounds better than being a slave
If you work you earn money for commissary and potentially time off for good behavior, if you don’t, you don’t.
Nono, it’s much worse! They’ll torture you until you WISH they’d have beat you to death and then they’ll torture you some more!
AFAIK gay marriage is still legal in all states. Weirdly that’s one they haven’t been able to crack.

Clarence Thomas said it should be revisited after Roe got struck down.
Oh yeah, him and Alito both have been big mad about it for ages now.

That is the new American dream: be born rich.
