It’s June! The month we celebrate queer rights, when the air gets heated and the blood does too.
But this June? The leaked copy of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade should freeze the blood of every queer in the land, as well as any supporter of a woman’s right to make the most fundamental choices in her life.
But some mainstream queer rights organizations like HRC don’t quite get it, and they should. I mean, the four-alarm-fire claxon is clanging here, people!

“As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion — they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights,” she tweeted last month.
John Lewis and Stuart Gaffney, co-founders of Marriage Equality USA, get it:

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, gets it:
“The concern for us is what’s next with this right-wing Supreme Court,” she told HuffPost. “I can tell you Obergefell is on Justice Alito’s and Justice Thomas’ hit list.”
Valerie Ploumpis, National Policy Director for Equality California gets it and nicely
