Int Text

Recognizes marriage as between one man and one woman and urges the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges.

This resolution reaffirms the Oklahoma Constitution's definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, arguing that the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges conflicts with the original public meaning of the United States Constitution. It calls on the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell, citing concerns about the decision's impact on state authority, women's privacy, and religious freedom. The resolution also highlights Oklahoma's previous constitutional amendment affirming the traditional definition of marriage.
