Gay couples hurriedly tying the knot and pursuing fertility treatments in anticipation of Trump’s inauguration

Some gay couples fear that the Supreme Court, after overturning Roe v. Wade, may also rescind their right to marry. However, legal experts suggest that marriage equality is not likely to be overturned in the near future. Despite concerns, the incoming Trump administration does not seem to have intentions to roll back the legalization of same-sex marriage. Trump’s actions during his first administration were viewed as harmful to LGBTQ people, particularly transgender Americans. Concerns among same-sex couples persist, leading some to consider eloping before the inauguration. Laws like the Respect for Marriage Act have been put in place to protect same-sex marriage in case Obergefell is rescinded. Despite ongoing fears, safeguards at the federal and state level have been established to protect same-sex marriage rights. Michael Kaye, a gay man in New York City, is considering eloping with his fiancé before the inauguration due to fears of a potential setback in LGBTQ rights. Overall, the fears among some gay and lesbian couples about the potential revocation of their right to marry are real, but legal experts and some lawmakers have implemented measures to protect same-sex marriage rights.
