Southern Baptists Vote to Endorse a Ban on Gay Marriage

They also called for legislators to support policies promoting childbearing

Southern Baptists overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on gay marriage — including a call for a reversal of the Supreme Court of the United States' (SCOTUS) 10-year-old precedent legalizing it nationwide.

They also called for legislators to curtail sports betting and to support policies that promote childbearing. The votes came at the gathering of more than 10,000 church representatives at the annual meeting of the nation's largest Protestant denomination.

A proposed resolution says legislators have a duty to "pass laws that reflect the truth of creation and natural law — about marriage, sex, human life, and family" and to oppose laws contradicting "what God has made plain through nature and Scripture."
