Hillary Clinton just made a dark prediction about same sex couples

Hillary Clinton has shared her fears of what may be to come for the rights of same-sex couples in the United States.

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State has made a scary prediction and what it could mean for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

She believes the Supreme Court will overturn a landmark ruling which legalised same-sex marriage nationwide.

Clinton has urged unmarried same-sex couples 'to consider' getting hitched before it's too late, if the changes she fears are on the horizon come to fruition.

Speaking on the podcast Raging Moderates, she warned the hosts: “American voters, and to some extent the American media, don’t understand how many years the Republicans have been working in order to get us to this point."

She explained: “It took 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade," before uttering a very scary warning of what she believes is yet to come.

“The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage; my prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion — they will send it back to the states.”

“Anybody in a committed relationship out there in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married because I don’t think they’ll undo existing marriages, but I fear they will undo the national right,” she added.

Earlier this year, former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis asked the Supreme Court to revisit the decision to allow same-sex marriages.

She has been divorced three times, and had four children out of wedlock, but wants to 'protect' 'marriage and God's word'.

Davis was previously imprisoned for six days back in 2015, after she refused to issue marriage licenses to a same-sex couple, blaming it on her religion.

She called the Obergefell v Hodges decision to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples 'egregiously wrong.'

However, if the ruling is overturned, it seems that same-sex marriage rights would still be protected by the Respect for Marriage Act.

Former President Joe Biden signed the act in 2022 that requires all states and the federal government to recognise same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal.

The act prevents any amendments from being enforced on couples who are already married, hence Clinton's urge to consider getting wed if they haven't already.

So far, it seems that many Americans still support marriage equality, but a May Gallup poll showed Republican support has slipped to its lowest in a decade, down to 41 percent.

Meanwhile, a different poll in June said 56 percent of Republican respondents supported same-sex marriage.
