Married lesbian activist Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) has declared an LGBTQ “call to arms” after the Supreme Court decision signaling the end of Roe v. Wade was reportedly leaked to the public.
In an official statement released by Lightfoot, she warned that the Supreme Court will soon be targeting the LGBTQ rights if it has its way with ending Roe.
“To my friends in the LGBTQ+ community the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms.” The lesbian activist tweeted on Monday.
We will not surrender our rights without a fight—a fight to victory!

“We will not surrender our rights without a fight to victory!” she added.
Moreover, before Lightfood issued her “call to arms,” the mayor declared that she and the Chicago women leaders will collectively stand for “reproductive freedom.”
“Proud to stand side-by-side with fearless women leaders of Chicago. We will fight like hell to protect reproductive freedom for women here and across the country! #JusticeForAllPledge” She tweeted on May 10.
Furthermore, aside from Lightfoot, following the leaked decision, reports revealed that the left has also started working overtime to “spread fear.”
“When you read Justice Alito’s opinion, what he focuses on is history, and he says we don’t have to protect our access to abortion because historically we haven’t had that access. Boy, that ought to make your gay friends nervous because we don’t have a long history of protecting equal marriage,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said.
“We don’t have a long history of protecting interracial marriage. We don’t have a long history of protecting access to contraception. All of those things that we have now counted on instead — that’s the America we are — could potentially, under Justice Alito’s own analysis, go out,” she added.
