The United States Congress is considering a bill which would define and expand marriage in many ways not contemplated by the average American. The Respect for Marriage Act has already been passed by the House of Representatives.
While this bill sounds honorable and inclusive, it works to
redefine marriage in federal law in a manner which opens the door to recognize
polygamy and polyamory. The bill assaults family and culture by failing
to recognize that children benefit most from having a mother and a father. Furthermore,
this bill offers no religious freedom protections for people of faith who
understand the biblical position for how God defined marriage, as between one
man and one woman for a lifetime.
