The Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) ended a
20-year political battle over same-sex marriage in the USA. The
ruling in favor of a constitutional right for gays and lesbians to
marry reflected growing social acceptance and political rights for
gays and lesbians. At the same time, America remains a deeply
religious country and many religious organizations have long
opposed same-sex marriage. How do religious organizations
interpret, process, and respond to shifting attitudes and public
policy toward the LGBT community? Examining how religious groups in
America have responded theologically and politically to the
legalization of same-sex marriage, the book provides case studies
from across the American religious spectrum to explore how each
group understands same-sex marriage and has reacted theologically,
socially, and politically to its new standing as a constitutional
right. Each case study focuses on formal statements made by church
leaders, incorporates original data gathered from interviews with
regional and local religious authorities, and analyzes existing
polling data of adherents at large. Offering a comprehensive
examination of religious responses to marriage equality in the USA,
this book will interest scholars and students in the fields of
religion and politics, civil rights, social change, and public
policy.
