 2. CAROLINA JOURNAL: Tillis, Burr help pass same-sex marriage bill"North Carolina U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis has been working on fellow Republicans to support the Respect for Marriage Act, and found success Tuesday as it passed the chamber, 61-36. North Carolina’s senior senator, Richard Burr, was among the 12 Republicans who voted for it. While the act does not require states to permit same-sex marriages, it does require that states recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. Tillis played a pivotal role in negotiating the finer points of the bill and generating Republican support." For more on this story, check out our NC Values press release, and these articles in WRAL, Charlotte Observer, and the Washington Post.

3. NCGA'S BRODY: The Coming Republican Party Showdown"Once again, our Republican US Senator, Thom Tillis, has created a “disturbance in The Force” that has had many in the NC Republican Party looking at each other with astonishment and trepidation. His support for the Inflation Reduction Act (which was nothing more than another deficit-busting borrow/spend scheme) followed immediately by his ‘stop the spending’ rhetoric made many a Republican head spin in exasperation. Now, his support for the 'Respect for Marriage Act', has created an issue that must be resolved at our next state Republican Party Convention. Basically, Senator Tillis’ action puts our state Republican Party in a predicament. His vocal support of the 'Respect for Marriage Act' along with his vote to move it forward in the Senate, in direct opposition to both the national and state Republican Party platforms, force the issue to the forefront. DO WE, AT CONVENTION, VOTE TO AFFIRM THE LONGSTANDING PLATFORM’S ASSERTIONS ABOUT MARRIAGE AND SANCTION TILLIS OR VOTE TO CHANGE THE PLATFORM?"

4. THE FEDERALIST: The 'Respect For Marriage Act' Is An Exercise In Tyranny“If they’re going to support this bill, though, do they have to pretend that we’re all too stupid to understand how it will work? Does Dan Sullivan, the second-worst U.S. senator from Alaska, who once supported a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in the long-ago of 2014, really believe that the Respect for Marriage Act makes ‘important advances’ in religious liberty? Does Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who 10 years ago as speaker of the statehouse supported a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in his state, really think the anemic amendments he and other GOP senators offered to the bill will ‘advance religious freedom’ and ‘age well’?” Read more: https://thefederalist.com/2022/11/22/the-respect-for-marriage-act-is-an-exercise-in-tyranny-and-everyone-knows-it/
