EXCLUSIVE
Jim Obergefell — the gay man who took his fight to marry the person he loves to the United States Supreme Court and won — is scared to death gay marriage could be a thing of the past.
We got the plaintiff in the landmark 2015 case, Obergefell vs. Hodges, Tuesday at LAX, and laid it out in clear terms … Donald Trump has already fundamentally altered the federal court system and there’s a chance the declaration that there’s a Constitutional right to marry the person of your choice may be overturned.
His fear has some basis in fact. Trump’s 2 additions to the U.S. Supreme Court swing the balance of the court to the right. It’s especially important because the gay marriage decision was decided by a 5-4 vote.
Jim has some advice, but it’s definitely not bulletproof.
