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

Those arguing about theology are missing the point.

The point is that a religious denomination has decided that it will actively work to overturn a Supreme Court ruling.

Oh, we're not surprised. We knew this was coming next after RvW was overturned. There is no limit to what the white nationalists masquerading as "Christians" will try to do to extend their power while their God-king is in power.

I'm not mad about a religion being against marriage equality. I'm mad that people think their religious beliefs should dictate our country's laws.

Hello? Has anyone been paying attention? This is always where it was headed. And they also want to take away the rights of women to vote and they will do away with birth control.

They are upfront about what they want, people choose to ignore or say it can’t happen. It will happen, the Supreme Court is conservative and on their side.

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?

Look there is no Christian denomination that supports gay marriage, just go be another religion. Same with Islam they don't support it either. What's the shock here

You are wrong and ignorant, PP. Easily fact checked.

Several Christian denominations support gay marriage. These include:

- Episcopal Church (United States): Officially supports same-sex marriage, allowing clergy to perform and bless these unions since 2015.
- Presbyterian Church (USA): Permits same-sex marriages, with clergy able to officiate since 2014, following a change in its constitution.
- Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA): Supports same-sex marriage, allowing pastors to officiate since 2009, with formal rites adopted later.
- United Church of Christ (UCC): Endorsed same-sex marriage in 2005, encouraging clergy to officiate and advocate for legal recognition.
- Metropolitan Community Church (MCC): Founded with a focus on LGBTQ+ inclusion, it has performed same-sex marriages since its inception in 1968.
- Quakers (some branches): Certain Quaker meetings, particularly in liberal regions like the U.S. and U.K., support and celebrate same-sex marriages.
- Unitarian Universalist Association: While not exclusively Christian, many congregations include Christian members and fully support same-sex marriage.

Those are not Christian base churches they are offshoots of the religion.

Again whatever you want to do that's fine but don't make up a religion, how about claiming to be Christian Church but worship trees and objects e.g. Unitarian universalists. Just be atheist it's fine.

STFU, the Episcopal Church is Christian! They’re not snake handlers like the proles in the Baptist Church but absolutely Christian.

You are confused with both episcopal church and southern baptists, the first is not a real church the second don't handle snakes that is Pentecostal. Good example of your stupidity on both fronts.

Oh trust me, Southern Baptists may not literally hold snakes but they might as well. Southern Baptists aren’t Christian because they preach hate.

The Episcopal church is christian. The Anglican Church is more conservative: using rite 1 and standing firm in their bigotry. The episcopal church has rite 1 services and doesn’t preach bigotry.

Time to start referring to them as what they really are, the “Southern Baptists SuperPAC.”

They have been brazenly using their tax-free war chest to manipulate US politics for 50 years.

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.

After gay marriage, interracial marriages will be next.

Christian white nation is their goal.

All of this. Believe what you want and let others do the same. Keep your nose out of your neighbors home.

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.

Having grown up with Southern Baptists and Southern Methodists they are antithecal to everything but keeping everyone subservient to white men. These southern religious sects are as far from the teachings of Christ as black is from white. They are also intolerant of any other religious beliefs. Everything is a sin except anything white men choose to do.

Beware of these people because they are despicable and will murder in the name of Christ.

I was raised Southern Baptist until I was around 11. They are the worst people.

My dad went no-contact with a lot of his family when he had suspicions that I was gay in order to protect me. Why? Because two of my older cousins had committed suicide from the emotional and religious abuse they suffered from their family members for being gay.

My one cousin's headstone says Born to Jesus 1980 - Taken to the Devil 1997, so that should tell you just how terrible they are.

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

The Christian church doesn't own marriage.

Marriage is an institution created by God.

That's your belief. Not everyone shares that belief. Surely you understand that, right?

[Anonymous]

just create a new religon if you don't agree with gay marriage, its like complaining that we should accept murder because its a religon

Every mainline Protestant denomination is fine with gay marriage. It’s the Christian nationalist evangelical weirdos who have a problem with it and also want their religious rules to have dominion over our government. They should go be another country.
