In an interview with ABC Lateline
in Australia she describes her mother (who divorced her father and
started living with her partner when Faust was in 5th grade) as “the
greatest mother anyone could ask for” and her mother’s partner as a
“dear friend.” She continues, “They are wonderful grandparents to my
kids.”
The anti-equality activist tells Lateline
that her drive comes from her belief that “children have a right to be
in relationship with their mother and father whenever possible, and as a
society, we shouldn't normalize a family structure that requires
children to lose one or both parents to be in that household.”
Faust further explains that her beliefs about same-sex
marriage began to take hold in high school when she converted to
Christianity.* She has since dedicated a lot of time and resources, it
would seem, to making sure people like her parents can’t get married and
yet she insists that this isn’t a hateful act.
