Republican lawmakers in Iowa and Oklahoma have introduced resolutions urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The Iowa resolution, introduced by Sen. Sandy Salmon, and the Oklahoma resolution, led by Sen. Dusty Deevers and Rep. Jim Olsen, argue that the Supreme Court overstepped its authority and that marriage should be defined by states. These moves are largely symbolic, as state legislatures cannot directly overturn Supreme Court rulings. However, they reflect ongoing opposition to same-sex marriage among some conservative lawmakers.
The resolutions have sparked renewed debate over LGBTQ+ rights and the role of the judiciary.
