What did you think was going to happen after we legalized #GayMarriage#? That same-sex couples would finally be able to visit one another in the hospital? Inherit property? Make medical decisions? Many of those legal protections were already available through powers of attorney, contracts, and other legal arrangements. What #Obergefell# enabled was something else. It accelerated the legal replacement of biological parenthood with intent-based parenthood. It made it easier to detach children from their mother or father and reattach them to biological strangers so same-sex couples could be "equal" to husband-wife couples. It conditioned an entire culture to repeat, “Love makes a family,” by threatening them with social isolation if they refused. It permitted scrubbing “mother” and “father” from parentage laws and replacing them with "gestating" and "non-gestating" parent in the name of non-discrimination. It made politicians afraid to defend the importance of mothers and fathers because genderless families had been upheld by the country's highest court. The lasting legacy of #Obergefell# has not simply been the redefinition of marriage. It has been the unmaking of the American family by erasing mother and father, both in law and culture. Children deserve better. @MakeKidsGreater
