No one has that right.
And God is not behind such ugly actions.
We can frame this discussion as a religious-freedom discussion ONLY if we ignore and care nothing about the hurt being inflicted on others by people claiming God and their — THEIR — belief system as their warrant for hurting others.
With the demand of Southern Baptists that their understanding of marriage be imposed on all the rest of us:
This is not, as many would want to think, a "We all have a right to believe as we choose" discussion.
It's a discussion about who has the right to attack, denigrate, hurt, harm others and claim that God is behind these ugly actions.
“The denomination has long opposed gay marriage, but Tuesday was the first time its members have voted to work to legally end it. Expanding on conservatives’ success in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, the vote signals growing evangelical ambitions to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruling that was handed down 10 years ago this month.”
“The Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to call for the overturning of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, with strategists citing the successful effort that overturned the right to legal abortions as a possible blueprint for the new fight.”

ALL marriages should be gay marriages.
If getting married doesn't make you gay, don't get married.
At least we won't forget the date thanks to this wonderful cross-stitch from our friend Hayley - featuring Nyota and Nebula
