"The campaign's core principle is that the sole purpose of marriage is to raise children and that the constitutional right of same-sex couples to legally marry in the U.S., as established by the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, violates children's rights. In a statement, Greater Than spokesperson Katy Faust argues that legal same-sex marriage has resulted in "parenthood treated as replaceable, and children deprived of the unique love and guidance only a mother and father can provide.""
""Ten years of Obergefell have shown us, loud and clear, that children deserve better and that they are Greater Than adult desires," Faust, the founder of anti-marriage equality organization Them Before Us, adds. In an interview with American Family Radio posted Wednesday, Faust described parenting by same-sex couples as a "destructive state-sanctioned gaslighting experiment on children," echoing language deployed by opponents of gender-affirming care for minors."
A coalition of 47 anti-LGBTQ+ organizations launched the 'Greater Than' campaign to end marriage equality in the U.S. The campaign asserts marriage's sole purpose is raising children and contends Obergefell v. Hodges violates children's rights. Greater Than spokesperson Katy Faust claims legal same-sex marriage has made parenthood replaceable and deprived children of unique mother-and-father guidance, calling same-sex parenting a "destructive state-sanctioned gaslighting experiment on children." A video promoting the campaign features far-right figures using anti-LGBTQ+ dog whistles intended to invoke the false "groomer" narrative. Empirical studies consistently show same-sex couples are as capable, or sometimes better, as parents compared with opposite-sex couples.
