In addition to its many troubling proposals to reform the federal government, Project 2025 also takes aim at your personal relationships, aiming to use the power of government to shape them. It advocates making the traditional heterosexual nuclear family the “centerpiece” of the next Republican presidency’s platform. The plan includes a series of initiatives designed to elevate a Christian nationalist perspective on the family while marginalizing nontraditional families, which now make up the majority of American households. “We have very limited protections in terms of a social safety net for American families,” said Melissa Murray, a New York University professor and leading expert on family law. “What Project 2025 is proposing is to make that available only to certain types of families.”
