We should be hearing the
decisions from the Supreme Court on Prop 8 and DOMA today (see “Now We Wait for the Ruling” to review what’s being
decided). Regardless of what happens, you can expect to see and hear a lot of
discussion on this topic on social media and among family and friends.
To equip you for that
conversation, Ryan Anderson has a helpful, concise article titled “5 Things You Need to Know about the Supreme Court’s Marriage
Cases.” It is not the “end-all” for this complex discussion but it will
give you a place to start. Here are the five things he covers:
1. Courts Shouldn’t Redefine
Marriage
2. President Obama and the
Government of California Didn’t Do Their Duty [defending laws passed by
citizens and legislators]
3. Telling the Truth About
Marriage Matters for Policy
4. Redefining Marriage Would Have
Bad Consequences
5. What You Can Do to Prepare for
the Rulings
It’s a short, readable article with links to follow for more
information (you can view a summary of the article as an infographic here). Post it, pass it on, and take a few minutes
to learn from it so you can engage others today graciously and persuasively.
