Overview

  • The Southern Baptist Convention passed a non-binding resolution on June 10 urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
  • The measure affirms marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman and defines gender as strictly binary.
  • It declares human life sacred from conception to natural death and states that families are intended for procreation.
  • The resolution opposes commercial surrogacy, denounces “transgender ideology,” and calls for policies that reflect the biological reality of male and female.
  • Conservative lawmakers in five states have introduced measures encouraging the Supreme Court to reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges.
