H.J.R. 182 says that heterosexual families are “God’s design for familial structure” and includes a list of statistics about “fatherless homes.” Anti-LGBTQ+ advocates usually cite the difference in outcomes for kids raised in single-parent households as evidence that same-sex couples are bad at raising children, even though the science shows that kids who come from queer families fare just as well as kids who come from straight families.

The resolution also denounces the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control.”

    The resolution says that “God” wants all families to have “one husband, one wife.”

    From the bill text:

    WHEREAS, the nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God’s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world

    From the Bible:

    Deuteronomy 21:15–17:

    If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father’s strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.
