BREAKING: U.S. Senate votes 61-36 to codify federal protections for same sex and interracial marriages. The bill moves to the House, where it is expected to be passed and then signed into law by President Biden.
the measure to win Republican votes by adding language making clear religious organizations will not be required to perform same-sex marriages and that the federal government isn't required to protect polygamous marriages.“My days since the first cloture vote on the Respect for Marriage Act as amended have involved a painful exercise in accepting admonishment and fairly brutal self soul-searching — entirely avoidable, I might add, had I simply chosen to vote 'no,'” Sen.
The legislation came about after the conservative Supreme Court majority overturned the constitutional right to an abortion,that the justices may also revisit its liberal precedents that enshrine marriage rights for gay and interracial couples. But if the bill becomes law and the Supreme Court rescinds the right to same-sex marriage, Americans could potentially go to another state and get married if it's not legal in their state.
