What changed between #BowersVsHardwick and #LawrenceVsTexas was not the makeup of the court, it was that the justices _knew that they knew more queer people_. There are records of justices from the 80s asking their _closeted gay clerks_ if they "knew any gay people" because the justice "didn't"
The social barometer, the public acceptance, and how willing people were to be out in part as a result of these factors shifted
Now: We should not _change_ to accommodate. We aren't here to compromise.
