Michigan’s first openly gay Attorney General used her time speaking at the DNC to challenge Supreme Court justices.
Dana Nessel spoke at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday. As the woman who brought the case that overturned Michigan’s previous gay marriage ban, she took the time to boost Vice President Kamala Harris for her action on gay marriage as California’s AG.
“She refused to argue that some families should have fewer rights than other families. It meant a lot. She was fighting for families like mine,” Nessel said.
At another point, she fear-mongered that the SCOTUS would attempt to relitigate the legality of gay marriage the same way they handed down the Dobbs decision that sent abortion rights back to the states.
“I have a message for the Republicans and the justices of the United States Supreme Court: You can pry this wedding band from my cold, dead, gay hand!”

“After Roe v. Wade was overturned, Michigan’s archaic abortion ban was resurrected, but Vice President Harris had my back,” the AG continued. “She reminded me that protecting people’s lives and defending their rights is our job. And, just as the same-sex marriage ban was overturned in California, so too was the abortion ban in Michigan.”
The response to her comments was likely much different than Nessel was expecting:
No one cares that you’re gay. Democrats want to be victims so badly. They want to be oppressed so badly. Truth is, we don’t actually give a crap who sleep with, weirdo!

Nobody cares that she married a woman.
These people personify the imaginary arguments they have with themselves in the shower.

What are they even talking about?! I SWEAR they’re simply fabricating issues that almost no one in Republican Party cares about. How many Republicans under the ago of 75 have you met against gay marriage?

No one wants your ring. No one cares that you’re gay. No one is trying to take your rights away. Stop being a victim in order to act as if a candidate will save you.
