Dear marriage supporter,
In the first of two retrospectives, we look back over three interviews with thought leaders who are making a global impact in their championing of man/woman marriage. You can watch the recap here.
Carl Trueman spoke to us about how the sentence “I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body” has come to make “sense” to those who prioritise feelings of reality over reality itself. What we will see over the next decade, Carl told us, is an increased push to normalise transgenderism. The levers of cultural influence are all in the hands of those who have no interest in promoting traditional marriage, he said.
Katy Faust told us about her book and organisation of the same name, Them Before Us. All of the studies really are on our side; but what we haven’t had until now, Katy said, are the stories. Marriage is the most child-friendly institution the world has ever known. It unites the two people to whom the child has a natural right, and it unites them for life. The social science is clear, Katy told us: biology matters, gender matters and marriage matters. Kids should not be the acceptable sacrifice on the altar of so-called “progress”.
Balázs Molnár led the development of Hungary’s pro-marriage policy that is already reaping dramatic results. He talked about wanting to build a pro-family alliance in Europe and the world. To tackle demographic downshifts, he said, the Hungarian constitution was amended to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and family as the basis of the survival of the nation. Balázs told us about the significant Government support for married couples who want to have children – including in the tax system.
Thank you for all of your wonderful support. Together, we can and will maintain a strong voice in championing real marriage and its benefits to society.

![Victory for Maureen Martin and for real marriage!
Dear marriage supporter,
Last August, you heard the inspiring story of Maureen Martin, a former mayoral candidate, who lost her job after supporting real marriage in an election leaflet. Now, it’s time to celebrate her triumph, joining a growing list of successes for real marriage advocates. Don’t miss her follow-up interview, discussing her recent legal win and determination to go on supporting real marriage. You can watch our interview here.
In the interview, Maureen reflects on the impact of losing her job and shares her experiences since that life-changing event. She believes that had she supported same-sex marriage instead, her circumstances would have been quite different. However, she remains resolute, emphasising that “walking away doesn’t achieve anything”, and underlines the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs.
Maureen also discusses the ranking of protected characteristics in her former workplace, asserting, “we can see from their actions there was a ranking and … LGBTQs are top of the list”. She passionately communicates her belief in the sanctity of marriage: “You can’t replace marriage between one man and one woman”, she says, “it works”.
Her legal triumph, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, serves as a testament to the power of standing up for personal convictions and is a timely reminder that supporting real marriage is protected by law.
Maureen says individuals should think about what they would do, and “look inside [and ask] ‘who am I?’”, long before they come face to face with difficulties in work. This story provides hope for the promotion of man-woman marriage in our country.
C4M celebrates Maureen’s courage in standing for the clear benefits to society of man-woman marriage.

![Mum takes on Government over Daughters Education - Clare Page interview with Tony Rucinski
Dear marriage supporter,
Clare Page is an ordinary mum who finds herself single-handedly taking on the State in defence of her daughters’ education. You can listen to Clare tell me about her epic battle here.
Clare noticed that her daughters’ schools were teaching controversial ideologies around sex, gender and race as if they were facts. But, she tells me, the questions she was asking “were unanswerable by the school because of what’s happened at [the] Government level”.
Clare first noticed a change in 2017 when pupils at her daughters’ primary school were being taught to address each other as “they” if pronouns weren’t given. The school was a test site for the Government’s recently implemented Relationships and Sexual Education curriculum. Then, over lockdown, her children were asked to produce “social justice” materials that Clare considered “breached safeguarding” standards.
Her daughter was taught in secondary school that “we live in a heteronormative world” which is a “really bad thing” and must be countered by becoming “sex-positive”. The school refused to send Clare the lesson plans and materials because the copyright belonged to an external organisation. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) sided with the school, confirming that she would have to attend in person to see what her child was being taught.
Clare tells me that children were referred to the external organisation’s website, which, she says, contained sexually explicit learning materials, and encouraged underage children to use explicit sexualised terminology on social media. “These are known areas” for children to come into contact with “abuse”, she says.
Clare is now challenging the ICO’s decision at Tribunal on behalf of all parents. She would like to see political intervention to make it impossible for schools to withhold materials from parents.
Ask your schools “for full transparency” Clare advises. Request lesson plans, materials, and the names of any external providers used. Then be prepared, she says, to make constructive, respectful complaints.
It’s important for child safety and for democracy, Clare concludes, that we all now get involved. You can follow Clare on Twitter @NoSecretLessons.
C4M believes all children should be taught that growing up with your married biological mum and dad leads to the best outcomes for children, adults and society in general. While other relationship types exist, it is very clear at the population level that nothing comes close to the benefits of real marriage.
