Could the Supreme Court overturn same-sex marriage?

An ex-county clerk in Kentucky who drew nationwide attention for denying marriage licenses for same-sex couples is back in the news.  Kim Davis is asking the Supreme Court to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same sex unions nationwide. Obergefell v. Hodges was issued in 2015. It officially recognized that queer Americans have a constitutional right to get married.  Hundreds of thousands of people have been married in the 10 years since. And also since then, Kim Davis has been fighting court battles over her refusal to grant licenses – citing her belief that she should get a religious exemption under the first amendment. The Supreme Court will decide this fall if they want to consider Davis’ appeal – and experts are skeptical (https://www.axios.com/2025/08/12/supr...) that they will do so.  But what would a serious legal fight to overturn marriage equality look like?  And are legal rights besides marriage at risk for LGBTQ Washingtonians?  Guest: • Professor Alison Gash, Chair of the University of Oregon’s Department of Political Science.
