I absolutely do. And I agree 100 percent, with what Mr. Obergefell said. These rights absolutely are under threat.
And it's certainly the case that if you extend the reasoning, of this particular opinion, if it becomes the reality that we live with, at the end of June or early July, then we certainly are at risk of losing those rights.
I believe in the idea that we do have inalienable rights, God-given rights, and that we agree to give some of those up, in order to be a functioning part of society.
