The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

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.
