Overview
Strong families are at the foundation of a thriving state and nation. The family plays an essential role in our culture. A government that promotes liberty and affirms individual responsibility should pass legislation that builds up families and values traditional marriage.
Marriages and families should be strengthened by public policy, not attacked or weakened.
Much of the national discussion about marriage and the family revolves around so-called same-sex “marriage.”
Those seeking to redefine marriage often attempt to end the discussion by calling names and using terms like “equality” and “no hate.” Yet this debate is not about equality or hate, it’s about the importance of a timeless institution and restoring it to its rightful place in our society.
