During its annual meeting in Dallas, the Southern Baptist Convention approved a significant resolution opposing marriage equality and urging the Supreme Court to overturn the 2015 Obergefell ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage nationally. The resolution also aims to invalidate laws contradicting their interpretation of 'God's design for marriage and family.' Although non-binding, the resolution reflects a growing momentum among conservative denominations and suggests further legal challenges to established rights. The measure was influenced by recent judicial decisions, particularly the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, which sparked renewed activism against LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive choices.
The Southern Baptist Convention's resolution challenges marriage equality, urging the Supreme Court to overturn the Obergefell decision and enforce traditional marriage laws.
