Southern Baptists overwhelmingly call for a ban on gay marriage

DALLAS, TEXAS, JUN 10 – The Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to pursue legal action to overturn the 2015 Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, citing moral and constitutional concerns.

  • On June 10, 2025, in Dallas, the Southern Baptist Convention voted decisively to support efforts aimed at reversing the landmark Supreme Court decision that established the legal recognition of same-sex marriages.
  • This vote follows a decade of Southern Baptist opposition to Obergefell v. Hodges and reflects growing evangelical ambitions bolstered by the 2022 Roe v. Wade overturning.
  • The resolution, assembled by ethicist Andrew Walker and proposed by Denny Burk, affirms two genders, defines marriage as male-female, and criticizes transgender ideology and declining fertility.
  • Walker said it aims to 'keep the conversation alive,' while the resolution calls legal rulings like Obergefell 'legal fictions' that cause social confusion and injustice.
  • The vote signals an intensified evangelical political focus on LGBTQ+ issues, though it remains uncertain if it will influence broader cultural or legal changes.
