I first introduced the Respect for Marriage Act to enshrine federal protections for gay marriage over a decade ago. Thanks to your advocacy, we overcame the obstacles to pass my bill through the House this summer.
This week, my legislation made significant progress through the Senate, and the urgency has never been higher with an extreme Republican Party winning control of the House.
The Supreme Court’s assault on abortion rights in the
Dobbs case contained a chilling concurrence from Justice Thomas calling for the court to look into overturning gay marriage, and we need to act now.
Sign here if you agree with my bill that gay marriage should be a federally protected right!
The bottom line is this: marriage equality is a human right that we can't wait to take action. Our neighbors are counting on us.
Onward,
Jerry Nadler
