Same-sex marriage in the US should be overturned to protect children, a new coalition has declared. Greater Than, which includes allies such as Them Before Us (TBU), Focus on the Family, and the Family Research Council, has been launched to press the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 Obergefell v Hodges ruling that imposed same-sex marriage on every US state. The coalition says children should no longer be deprived of both a mother and a father, and hopes to influence public opinion on the “link between natural marriage and child protection” and the vulnerability of children who have been “sacrificed in service of adult desires”. “In the summer of 2003, five years after my wife and I had separated and divorced, I bought an engagement ring and was ready to ‘propose’ to a man I had been dating. Last July, we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary.”
