“No Child Has Two Moms/Two Dads”—Simply Biology or Hateful Bigotry?

It’s a biological reality that no child has two moms or two dads. Every child has both a mother and a father—to say otherwise is to deny science. And Them Before Us, a child rights organization, recently blazoned that truth on billboards in 19 locations across the US (and created quite the firestorm in the media!). Why did they do it?

Christians must get involved in defending children from the redefinition of family.

I’ve written about Them Before Us before, especially in relation to their Greater Than campaign, which seeks to overturn Obergefell (the 2015 decision that legalized gay “marriage” in the US) and other anti-family legislation on the grounds of a child’s right to both their mother and their father. You see, legalizing gay “marriage” didn’t just redefine marriage—it redefined the family, and children are the unconsenting victims of changing the family unit because of adult desires.

I urge you to watch this interview between AiG’s Bryan Osborne and Avery Foley and Them Before Us founder and president Katy Faust. She equips you to understand why this issue is vital to the protection of children, why Christians must get involved in defending children from the redefinition of family, and how to respond to the common objections to the biblical view of the family—one man and one woman for life:

Yes, God’s design is simple and it’s given to us in Genesis:

Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
