Southern Baptist delegates overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on same-sex marriage, calling for the overturning of Obergefell v. Hodges. They also urged legislators to curb sports betting and support policies promoting childbearing. This assertive stance reflects the denomination's conservative views on marriage and family, despite acknowledging the difficulty of reversing established legal precedents. The meeting also saw discussions on pornography, declining fertility rates, and ongoing concerns about sexual abuse within the denomination, with some survivors boycotting the event due to perceived inaction on reforms.
