The Southern Baptist Convention currently convened in Dallas is poised to approve a range of resolutions against pornography, sports betting, and marriage equality. Notably, one resolution contradicts the principle of church-state separation, urging lawmakers to enact legislation reflecting certain religious beliefs on marriage and family. Although a Gallup poll indicates that 68% of Americans support marriage equality, divisions persist among party lines. The Supreme Court's current stance on reviewing the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling remains ambiguous, notwithstanding recent state proposals urging reconsideration of same-sex marriage legality.
One proposed resolution tells legislators to ignore separation of church and state, urging them to create laws that align with their interpretation of divine truth regarding marriage and family.
Recent polling indicates that while a significant 68% of Americans support marriage equality, there is a marked divide among political affiliations with only 41% of Republicans in favor.
Though the Supreme Court has not taken action to revisit marriage equality, nine states have recently proposed resolutions to encourage the Court to reconsider the Obergefell decision.
Despite the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, no binding measures have emerged regarding the reconsideration of marriage equality, putting legal protections somewhat at risk.
