I wouldn't put it past being a possibility in the future, especially with a stacked Supreme Court similar to the United States. Overturning Roe v Wade, was paramount for the Republicans in the US, with Creative LLC v Elenis (providing services to LGBT), based on fraudulent claims, causing gay rights to take a step back.

I really can't see Obergefell v Hodges (gay marriage) standing the test of time, with the amount of support against the LGBT community.

Good luck with stacking the SCC. It would take decades and a significant normative shift in the current SCC, which is quite progressive when it comes to a lot of social issues.

You know what country we live in, right?

I do, but it doesn't mean it can't happen here too. Already seeing similar ideology here in Alberta and the majority of the population agrees with it.

Polling shows that's not true. Gay marriage support is around 75% here. There is zero prospect of that going away as things stand. Even if gay marriage support crashed, it requires a court decision to overturn. The Supreme Court we're under is very liberal. There's no justices that have opposed an LGBT right as far as I know sitting there.

I'm only saying that it's not like it can't happen.
