Human rights groups spoke out on Wednesday against an overwhelming vote by Southern Baptists, the US’s largest Protestant denomination, to endorse a resolution that would seek to overturn the legalization of same-sex marriage by the US supreme court.
“Marriage equality is settled law. Love is love, and the right for LGBTQ+ couples to marry is supported by an overwhelming majority of the American public,” said Laurel Powell, communications director of Human Rights Campaign, in a statement to the Guardian.
