Children’s rights as marriage‑rollback tactic

Updated: 2026.03.06 15H ago 1 sources
A coordinated movement (Greater Than, led by Katy Faust and 47 nonprofits) is reframing opposition to same‑sex marriage as a defense of children’s rights, leaning on public anxieties about parenting and reproductive technologies to build a cross‑ideological coalition. The strategy targets gaps between support for legal equality and lingering doubts about same‑sex parenting to press legal and cultural reversals. — If successful, this framing could shift public opinion and supply new legal and political cover for efforts to curtail marriage equality and LGBT family rights.
