520 |a This essay examines the use of the Bible in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case on marriage equality, Obergefell v. Hodges. Several strands of argumentation in the case are considered in relation to each other. The conservative respondents and their supporters rely on interpretations of the Bible that are coded for the secular court as the fundamental importance of biology to marriage. The conservative judges argue that the majority ruling is a threat to democracy, using explicit biblical citations to make their points. Within the judicial dissents a subtle biblical and legal discourse indicates a worry about financial and personal interest trumping democracy. When the biblical and legal logics of the opposition to same-sex marriage are read together, they reveal and construct a disturbing vision for the consolidation of money and power in democracy through heteropatriarchal biological ties, moralized through an anxiety about financial interests and pleasure destroying democracy.
