Breaking: Southern Baptists Endorse Effort to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage

Southern Baptists Endorse Effort to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage
The nation’s largest Protestant denomination was motivated by conservative Christians’ success in reversing Roe v. Wade.

Southern Baptists voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to call for the overturning of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, with strategists citing the successful effort that overturned the right to legal abortions as a possible blueprint for the new fight.

The denomination has long opposed gay marriage, but Tuesday was the first time its members have voted to work to legally end it. Expanding on conservatives’ success in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, the vote signals growing evangelical ambitions to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that was handed down 10 years ago this month.

Nutjobs make a wildly unpopular proclamation and label it as prophetic. Nothing new to see here.

I'm a black, 40-something year old Christian woman (moderate) and this pisses me off. The government shouldn't legislate morality, and the church shouldn't tell me how to vote. Separation of church and state is critical for a reason.

Let people marry who they want to marry under contractual law so they can have the benefits. Let people love who they want to love and hate who they want to hate.

Leave the judging of the moral acts and "sins" of the world to God, and each person's understanding of God. Leave the governance of our administration's resources in this country and the protection of our civil liberties to government.

Why don't more people object with an argument that this is NOT a separation of church and state?

The feds should stop all marriages. There should only be civil unions that exist for governmental and financial and legal matters. If people want to get married in a church they can.

This is why people see religion as a great divider. Sad.

Why does practicing your religion always have to involve imposing it on other people?

The Christian church doesn't own marriage.

But states issue marriage licenses. Let’s change that, so if they want marriage they can have it. We should have civil unions, unions of the state.

The Christian right want much worse. They want to end birth control. They want women out of the workplace (white women, that is), home having babies.

Take this seriously. They made the systematic effort to overturn Roe v. Wade and they succeeded. They're using the same playbook to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

Except Congress passed a law to protect the Obergefell ruling. So it’s not just a ruling like Roe was.
