Ban Harmful “Gender Transition” Surgeries

Join us for an important lunch event at SBC25 in Dallas where you’ll hear about one of this summer’s most consequential United States Supreme Court cases—U.S. v. Skrmetti, which is about a Tennessee law that empowers the state to protect minors.

ERLC President Brent Leatherwood will talk to Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Alliance Defending Freedom’s Vice President Ryan Bangert about:

  • why this case matters,
  • protecting our kids with helpful legislation,
  • and how the ERLC advocates for Southern Baptist interests before the courts.

This lunch event will be from 12 – 2 p.m. right across from the exhibit hall. Reserve your lunch ticket for just $25.

You’ll also hear a panel discussion on how Baptist state conventions are partnering with the ERLC to protect their churches’ biblical convictions when they are challenged at the Supreme Court.

Hear from Nathan Lorick, executive director of Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, Julio Guarneri, Executive Director of Baptist General Convention of Texas Convention, and Randy Davis, executive director of Tennessee Baptist Mission Board, as they share how both states filed amicus briefs alongside the ERLC in Supreme Court cases for 2025.

 “. . . it is not only entirely appropriate, but constitutionally permissible, for the state to intervene to protect these vulnerable minors.”

-Brent Leatherwood

Southern Baptists desire to see children protected from a culture that has bought into a sexual revolution intending to separate them from God’s good design for their lives.

The ERLC has been standing for God’s good design across multiple fronts in Congress, federal rulemaking, and the courts and will continue to do so to ensure that vulnerable children are protected.

We hope you will join us for lunch in Dallas on June 10!
