Marriage equality is under attack again. In 2015, Obergefell v. Hodges gave families like mine, two moms raising our daughter, legal recognition and safety.

Kim Davis has spent ten years trying to erase that. Even if the Supreme Court doesn’t overturn it now, they will keep coming for our rights.

LGBTQ+ families, protect yourselves. Wills. Medical powers of attorney. Guardianship. Adoption. Property agreements.

Stay strong. Stay positive. Be prepared. Love always wins. ❤️

... Read moreSince the landmark 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which granted marriage equality and legal recognition to same-sex couples, the LGBTQ+ community has experienced significant progress in family rights. However, challenges persist, as figures like Kim Davis—a Kentucky clerk originally refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples—continue efforts to undermine these hard-won rights. This sustained opposition highlights the critical importance for LGBTQ+ families to proactively secure their legal protections. Essential legal documents such as wills, medical powers of attorney, guardianship papers, finalized adoptions, and property agreements serve as key safeguards to protect family members' rights and dignity. Moreover, the evolving legal landscape necessitates ongoing awareness and preparedness among LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Ensuring that these documents are updated and legally binding can prevent future disputes and provide peace of mind. The language captured from images within the community underscores a call to action: "If she succeeds, many others will follow," reflecting the fear that the rollback of rights could have a widespread impact. It also emphasizes that opponents are "openly promising to sink in your dignity of marriage," reinforcing the need for vigilance and legal readiness. Staying strong and positive in the face of adversity is vital, but equally important is taking concrete legal steps to defend families' futures. Community support, advocacy, and legal empowerment all contribute to reinforcing marriage equality and safeguarding LGBTQ+ family rights. In summary, the battle for marriage equality continues beyond court decisions. LGBTQ+ families must be vigilant and prepared by securing comprehensive legal protections to ensure their rights endure despite ongoing challenges.

The past year has provided to me a sometimes challenging lesson on how far this world still needs to come to recognize the autonomy of women. There are some men who still believe, fundamentally, that a woman’s worth is only what a man will give it. As I have revealed more about who I am, my long ca
