Hodges decision (2015), which legalized gay marriage across the U.S. Reflecting on an article by Noah Hickey in The Dispatch, Becket Cook, a former member of the gay community turned Christian, explores why marriage equality has seemingly faded from LGBTQ activism. Citing cultural shifts toward intersectional issues like trans liberation and racial justice, the discussion critiques the prevalence of non-monogamy in gay male relationships and questions the impact of same-sex marriage on traditional values. With personal anecdotes, references to influential figures like Andrew Sullivan, and a conservative Christian lens, the video challenges viewers to consider whether the "experiment" of gay marriage has succeeded or failed, while speculating on its future. A compelling blend of cultural analysis, personal testimony, and social commentary.

The Becket Cook Show was created by Becket Cook to discuss relevant topics and to crush the lies of culture with truth. Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually became a production designer working on fashion shoots for brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike. Becket lived as a gay man until 2009, when he reluctantly agreed to attend a church service at which he was transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping people understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.
