Coalition for Marriage was founded in 2012 to defend marriage as the lifelong union of one man and one woman. It is that which protects a child’s right to his or her own mother and father. Without that definition, children become commodities.

Material the State broadcaster cannot lawfully put before adults at 8.59pm is what the Scottish Government recommends its teachers put before three-year-olds in school.

Ending a marriage is supposed to be hard. That is what carries it through the years when feelings fade, and that is what protects the children of it. Our laws should make it easier to stay together, not harder.

Marriage is what ties a child to their biological mother and father. Redefine it, and the state – not biology, not the vows of the parents – decides who a child’s parents are. “Families are the stronghold of our liberties”, Olivier says.

Our country is being told, statute by statute, that children no longer need a mother and a father.

Most young people still want to marry – but the conditions that encourage it are dismantled.

Real marriage is unique. It is the lifelong union of one man and one woman, the gold standard for children and for society. The 2013 redefinition stripped that uniqueness from the law – and Malta’s prosecution of Matthew is part of what inevitably follows.

Marriage as an institution is in almost no manifesto. But marriage, the lifelong union of one man and one woman, is under pressure from policies moving through Westminster, Holyrood and the Senedd.

Since 2021, Clare Page has asked to see the slides used to teach sex education to her 15-year-old daughter. Her school said no. The Information Commissioner said no. The First-tier Tribunal said no. The Upper Tribunal said no.

Faust puts it plainly: "If you believe children have a right to their mother and father… you cannot support gay marriage as policy.”

Sir Andrew McFarlane – the President of the Family Division – ruled that only a child’s biological father can acquire parental responsibility by being named on a birth certificate. The birth certificate does not create fatherhood. Biology does.

The law “sets up the inherently antagonistic position that one parent is… a primary carer and the other parent is a secondary carer” – a framework that in practice overwhelmingly disadvantages fathers.

We live in a culture that treats adult relationships as disposable and then acts surprised when children pay the price.

Nine years and at least £1.6 million (excluding diocesan costs): that is what the Church of England spent on Living in Love and Faith, the programme launched in 2017 to explore whether the Church should bless same-sex unions.

Children do best when their parents are married. And the reason is not hard to find: married parents are more stable, and they are happier.

The law is shifting. But the fight is far from over – because marriage, the lifelong union of one man and one woman, is not an opinion to be screened out of public life. It is the bedrock on which families and communities stand.

You do not only damage marriage by redefining it. You damage it by redefining everything around it until the distinction disappears.

Schluter argues that even a modest financial signal matters: “It does put a public marker down on the fact we value marriage and that marriage is good for you”.
