The nation’s largest Protestant denomination is set to debate a sweeping resolution that urges lawmakers to make gay marriage illegal.
Southern Baptists, gathering this week for their annual convention, are considering proposals aimed at overturning Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide; prohibiting women from serving as pastors; making pornography illegal; and encouraging policies that promote family-building.
