Chuck Schumer Fears for Queer Daughter's Marriage After RBG's Death
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has expressed grave concern over the future of his daughter Alison Schumer’s marriage to Elizabeth Weiland considering the shortlist of anti-LGBTQ+ Supreme Court nominees Donald Trump is considering to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The New York senator was celebrating Rosh Hashanah with his family when they heard the news of Ginsburg’s death, according to the New York Daily News.
His daughter and daughter-in-law, who wed in 2018, were immediately concerned for their future as a married couple. “They asked, ‘Could their right to marry be undone?’” Schumer said in a Senate speech.
Most of the people on the shortlist of Trump’s SCOTUS picks have stark histories of being anti-LGBTQ+. The front-runner, Amy Coney Barrett, has been deemed an “absolute threat” to LGBTQ+ rights by the Human Rights Campaign.
“Amy Coney Barrett’s history tells a story of anti-LGBTQ ideology, opposing basic rights thought to be settled law, and an anti-choice ideology out of step with popular opinion,” according to an HRC press release issued Tuesday.
