i mean, the way the supreme court has operated historically (and especially in the last few years) means they can delete basically any law they don't like, but you are correct that the decriminalisation of homosexuality is only based on a court verdict. many states never removed the relevant laws from their books, so they could in theory be enforced again if the court changes their precedent.
Thanks. Weird thing is that i read countless second coming of Trump doomsayers in the internet but not one of them even mentioned that possiblity. I had to think about it myself and i'm not even American so the ways US lawmaking works are really wierd for me.
