, President Joe Biden signed legislation protecting same-sex and interracial marriage.
The Respect for Marriage Act passed with bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress following months of negotiations and controversies surrounding how it would affect different religions. The Senate initially passed the bill 61–36, and the House voted last week 258–169 to send it to Biden's desk for approval.
The act prevents states—regardless of their individual laws on marriage—from using the "sex, race, national origin or ethnicity" of a married pair as a basis for denying them constitutional rights or protections. It also states that the federal government must recognize a marriage between two individuals if the marriage was valid in the state where it was performed."Today is a good day," Biden said in his White House speech.
