LGBTQ bookstore to hold ‘wedding marathon’ amid SCOTUS hearing on same-sex marriage
Why one bookstore is holding a ‘wedding marathon’
- All She Wrote Books in Somerville, Massachusetts, is hosting an LGBTQ wedding marathon on 30 August.
- The event, titled 'Love Can't Wait Another Day', aims to allow couples to marry quickly amid concerns over the future of same-sex marriage rights.
- This initiative comes as the US Supreme Court considers whether to hear a petition from Kim Davis, a former Kentucky county clerk, to overturn the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
- The bookshop is offering various packages for the marathon, including a Justice of the Peace, professional photos, and guidance on legal documents should marriage equality be overturned.
- The LGBTQ+ community remains anxious about their rights, particularly following recent Supreme Court decisions on reproductive rights and affirmative action.
