America passed *numerous* anti-same-sex marriage laws and referendums in the 2000s.
The 2000s were an incredibly homophobic decade in a way I’m glad my younger friends were too young to remember.
The 2010s felt like a big change.

Red states don’t hold referendums before they redraw maps to their advantage. They just do it. If the courts are going to keep moving the goalposts, maybe it’s time blue states stop asking permission.

And in fact Republican states like Utah and Ohio have retained their gerrymanders in open defiance of successful referendums demanding non-partisan redistricting
The way Virginia and California have gone about this is not even in the same realm as red states that chop up congressional districts for the sole purpose of diluting the vote of black and brown communities. Dems put expirations dates on their gerrymanders too.
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
