Christian conservative vows to continue fight to end marriage equality: It harms kids!
Republicans and religious conservatives have been trying for over a decade now to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Courts landmark 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. But anti-LGBTQ+ activist Kathy Faust has a new plan to get it overturned once and for all: Simply prove that marriage equality harms kids by denying them a mother and father. In a recent video, Faust said shes teaming up with the rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ hate group The Family Research Council to find kids who have been harmed by being raised by same-sex parents. Related Kim Davis tried to get the Supreme Court to stop marriage equality. They just shut her down. We do not need to bring a court case to the Supreme Court, in my opinion, that says, should a cake baker have to bake this cake? Should a woman have to arrange these flowers? Should [county clerk] Kim Davis have to sign this document? Faust said. Like, that matters, but that does not ultimately matter. The question the court needs to answer is: Does a childs own mother and father benefit them in ways that state-assigned adults do not? That is the question that the court needs to ask, because children are the ultimate victims.While Faust mentions her campaign website EndObergefell.com, it features a single webpage that asks for peoples email addresses without providing much other information.
