Summary
In response to Donald Trump’s re-election, some same-sex couples, like Ben Nelson and Adam Weinberger, are accelerating plans to marry, fearing potential rollbacks of LGBTQ rights.
Concerns stem from the Supreme Court’s 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and past statements from conservative justices suggesting interest in revisiting the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage.
While the Respect for Marriage Act offers federal safeguards, uncertainty persists.
LGBTQ-friendly businesses are stepping up to support couples, but fears of broader restrictions, including on parenting options, remain widespread among the community.
Rwanda and further Yugoslavia are both exceptions to your statement
Yugoslavia is an exception, but Rwanda only happened because the world didn’t care.
Plenty of people cared about it. Afterwards, which is usually the case. WW2 was not very different as most caring was fine after the fact.
Even the UN peace mission did little too stop the Srebrenica massacre.
The world at large shrugged its shoulders at Rwanda. France literally handed over people under their protection to the Interahamwe, knowing full well they’d be killed on the spot. Belgium actually had soldiers get killed by Rwandan military, and did nothing. The world went to very incredibly great lengths to make sure that they didn’t have to get involved until after the genocide was nearly complete.
Well yes, most caring about genocide is afterwards. Surprisingly few people that fought for the Liberation of Europe did so because of their care for the date of the Jewish population of Europe and Russia.
The Armenian genocide went unopposed and even a UN peace mission failed to stop the massacre at Srebrenica.
In order for something to be unanimously labeled genocide it has to be over the top (extremely so, look at Gaza today) and very ugly and blatant.
If there’s one take away from history is that tribalism is so strong in humans that they will kill each other over fucking trivial stuff.
