Folks, I’m writing to you overjoyed. Congress is on the cusp of sending the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA) to President Biden's desk.
This act is a huge step forward for LGBTQ+ individuals’ right to marry in our country. The RFMA will also protect interracial marriages in the United States, too.
If you’re thinking, “I can’t believe this legislation is needed in 2022” – I agree with you. It’s preposterous that the LGBTQ+ community still undergoes discrimination from far-right bigots who want to create a divided society.
But, the simple fact of the matter is that the RFMA is needed now more than ever. In his dissenting opinion which overturned Roe v. Wade , Clarence Thomas indicated his desire to revisit the Court’s ruling on Obergefell v. Hodges which guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry.
I was disgusted when I first heard this. Same-sex marriage has been the law of the land and exists to uphold the founding purpose of our country: to be a place where equality above all else reigns supreme.
Now, as the signing of the RFMA is all but certain, same-sex marriages across the country will finally be recognized by the federal government.
This is a huge step in the right direction but the reality is that there’s still more work to be done to safeguard the rights and protections of LGBTQ+ individuals.
I’m ready to get to work to make it happen but we’re now up against a radical GOP House majority which makes the hill we’ll have to climb all the more steep. Can I count on your help to get it done?
If so, I’m asking you to please chip in as much as you can so I can continue to fight for the LGBTQ+ community in Congress. I won’t rest until our law provides equal protections and rights for all. [[link removed]]

Let’s keep up the good fight.
