"No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were."

-- Justice Anthony Kennedy, June 26th 2015

"Meet the Seattle woman behind a national effort to end same-sex marriage

Earlier this year, a national coalition of conservatives unveiled a new campaign to turn back the clock on same-sex marriage.

In a promotional video, supporters of the 'Greater Than Campaign' said they want to push the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its landmark 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriages nationwide.

The effort challenges a decade of established legal rights for same-sex couples, rights that continue to enjoy broad public support. In Washington, marriage equality protections go back even further, to a 2012 law upheld by voters.

(. . .)

Little-known locally, Faust has gained prominence in national conservative circles, spearheading the effort to undo Obergefell. She was featured in the kickoff video for the campaign against same-sex marriage alongside leaders of the Heritage Foundation and the Southern Baptist Convention, among others.

Last September, Faust spoke at the National Conservatism Conference, an annual gathering affiliated with the Christian nationalism movement that also featured U.S. senators and top Trump administration officials."
