Introduced·4/2/26
Introduced Text

South Carolina General Assembly rejects the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision and calls for its reversal.

This resolution expresses the South Carolina General Assembly's rejection of the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision, which mandated states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize such marriages. The resolution argues that Obergefell contradicts the state's constitution and the will of its voters, who defined marriage as between one man and one woman. It calls for the Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell and restore the traditional definition of marriage to the states.
