For same-sex couples, the fear of our marriages being declared null and void by a Trump Supreme Court ruling, or even a Constitutional Amendment has all of a sudden become not only a very real possibility, but the source of tremendous anguish and stress.Â
This is far from the only report of hate focused on minorities that has happened in response to Trump’s wining the White House.Â
