Although matrimonial equality was legalized throughout the country only a few months after their wedding, both Bass and Turchin say they are deeply concerned about a reversal of LGBTQ+ rights under President Donald Trump.

“I didn’t think that in 2025 we would still be fighting. It’s ridiculous,” Bass told The Outlet. “The pendulum swing forward, and now it is going back. But the amount of hatred we feel today? It is worse than 10 years ago. This is the first time I really felt danger, and I didn’t feel that 10 years ago.”
