A coalition of Christian leaders, legal thinkers and media figures has launched a public campaign urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, arguing the decision undermines children’s rights and the institution of marriage.
The effort, known as the Greater Than Campaign, debuted with a promotional video featuring prominent voices from evangelical institutions, conservative media and policy organizations. The campaign frames its mission around what it describes as a child-centered approach to marriage, law and culture.
According to the coalition, children are increasingly treated as secondary in public policy debates, with adult preferences prioritized over what it calls children’s inherent rights. The group contends that marriage between a mother and father has historically served as the most effective social structure for protecting those rights and providing stability for children.

“Greater Than exists to defend the rights of children in law, policy, and culture,” the organization states on its website, emphasizing that children, not adults, should be considered the most vulnerable population in debates over family structure.
The campaign outlines a three-part strategy aimed at restoring marriage as a child-protective institution: pursuing judicial and policy changes that center children’s needs, reshaping public opinion on the link between marriage and child welfare and mobilizing churches into what the group describes as a child-centered force.
The video promoting the campaign features a broad range of figures, including Dr. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; Lila Rose of Live Action; and Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us.
It’s this simple: Child needs > Adult desires

Other participants include conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey; John Stonestreet of the Colson Center; Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire; and Jim Daly of Focus on the Family.
Policy and legal perspectives are represented by Delano Squires of The Heritage Foundation; Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council; and Josh Hammer, host of The Josh Hammer Show.
Supporters describe the campaign as a unified response to what they see as decades of cultural and legal shifts away from traditional marriage. While acknowledging differences among its participants, the coalition presents itself as a coordinated effort focused on one shared goal: re-centering children in national conversations about marriage and family policy.
