Southern Baptists seek repeal of landmark equal marriage ruling
Briefly

In a significant move, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has voted to support a resolution aimed at repealing same-sex marriage rights, particularly targeting the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell vs Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States. The SBC's declaration contended that current policies contradict God's design for marriage, advocating for laws defining marriage as inherently between one man and one woman. Despite existing legislative barriers, the resolution highlights a broader cultural struggle over marriage definitions, gender identity, and parental rights in American society.
