Writer Philip Elliott starts off his article by talking about how the Supreme Court's ruling concerning gays and lesbians the right to wed, has been met with efforts to protest those protections. He gives examples, from different states, of people doing different things against the laws giving gays and lesbians rights. A speaker from the National Center for Lesbian Rights said that they were just dealing with the beginning of the backlash and that it would get worse before it would get better. They talk about how marriage is just the first big victory and there is still much more equality to strive for. In the very end Elliott talks about how transgender people all over the world are facing harassment, discrimination, violence and abuse and that there is more to be done.
