WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court has been contemplating banning classic marriage as a result of legalizing gay marriage, sources say. Due to the extended ban many states imposed on gay marriage, the justices feel outlawing straight marriage for a designated time would make amends for this injustice. They also believe it would enact a sort of role reversal that would ultimately make straight people more open to the acceptance of homosexuals.

“People were so worried about having gay marriage affecting their lives,” said Chief Justice Roberts, “Well, now they really do have something to worry about.”

It seems the court’s conservatism has backfired on the right-wing, as their eye for an eye legislation is a direct stab at the Republican political stance. The potential political backlash from this shift is yet to be seen, but given the mildness of the recent unrest concerning the Confederate flag, it will probably be insubstantial. This new ban could go into effect as early as October of this year.
