With the current SCOTUS, Obergfell will fall.

USA Same Sex Marriage Protections in State Constitutions Currently
All those red states instantly ban same-sex marriage if(when) the Supreme Court over-turns the ruling legalizing same-sex marriage. Just so you know.
Also... kinda surprised by Oregon.

SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound
Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point:

Mark Zuckerberg Opened an Illegal School at His Palo Alto Compound. His Neighbors Revolted
Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge.
