The Supreme Court just issued a monumental ruling on LGBTQ rights. Good can still prevail in America. https://t.co/EfqO3yFm3F - Misha Collins (@mishacollins) June 15, 2020
Indigenous peoples' land (I know ONTD doesn't give fuck all for that last one, but it's important to me so I am keeping it in). CALL EM OUT SIS, CUZ WHO? That's fucking rank.
Not automatically, the new HHS rule itself has to make its way through the courts. But this decision does make it more likely that the rule will be overturned.
I couldn't help but wonder if Trump heard how SCOTUS was likely to vote on this, and rescinded that HHS guideline as a kind of "Fuck you, we won't let them get everything!" response. I mean, bigots can still use the removal of the guideline to discriminate, just indirectly. "I mean, we can't fire you for being gay, but aww shucks, our insurance provider won't approve coverage for your care or let you see a doctor sympathetic to your needs, guess maybe you should just quit so you can get a new insurance plan!"
