On Monday, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a case called #303Creative, an effort by @ADFLegal to overturn laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination.

I have a very important rule of thumb for you as you hear any of the discourse around this case... 🧵 Every single time you hear an argument in #303Creative being made about same-sex couples or same-sex marriage, substitute the words "interracial couples" or "interracial marriage" in your brain before you process how it makes you feel. Make sure your reactions correspond. 2/13

So @redsteeze thinks he's so funny trolling people all week. He's implying if a couple can't naturally have a child, they shouldn't be allowed to/are unnatural/shouldn't be married.

It's anti-LGBTQ, but it offends me so much more as an adoptee of a woman who couldn't conceive. ImageImageImageImage I know @redsteeze thinks he's being cute — especially his petulant accusations that people are anti-trans if they respond that it takes a man and a woman to have a baby. But it's not just that he's regurgitating hackneyed anti-gay arguments. He's sinking to dangerous depths.

Most people are noting Justice Alito's mocking of foreign officials who disapproved of Dobbs, but I'm far more alarmed by his tacit endorsement of Christian nationalism in these remarks at Notre Dame's religious liberty conference: Alito suggests that one of the greatest threats to religious liberty is the growing proportion of people who don't identify as religious — that the more secular society is as a whole, the MORE protection religious liberty needs. 2/x
