Lawsuits filed in Texas question marriage equality DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com After the Obergefell marriage equality decision, we advised: Just because you can get married doesn’t mean you should get married.
While that advice still stands, we add a caveat: Get married while you can. At least give it some serious thought. At least two lawsuits have been filed in Texas that question marriage equality.
That wasn’t a serious concern until the Dobbs decision that reversed the Roe v. Wade abortion ruling and Justice Clarence Thomas invited cases that would revisit the marriage ruling.
The goal of the suits is to limit, and in one case, reverse Obergefell. Shotgun weddings just aren’t a thing in the LGBTQ community.
