June 11 (UPI) -- The Southern Baptists Convention easily passed a resolution that called for the reversal of same-sex marriage in the United States along with supporting other long-existing conservative hot topics.
On Tuesday in Dallas at its annual convention, SBC delegates in America's largest Protestant denomination signed off on the broad resolution that called for the "overturning of laws and court rulings, including Obergefell v Hodges, that defy God's design for marriage and family" as the SBC doubled down on gender issues.
It arrived as the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 2015 Obergefell ruling nears its 10-year anniversary in which it officially legalized gay marriage.
The SBC resolution also affirmed, among other things, the organization's opinion on the existence of only two genders, officially defined marriage as an act between a man and woman. SBC adherents also opposed commercial parental surrogacy and denounced a perceived normalization of "transgender ideology."
