I am proud to share that the landmark Respect for Marriage Act has passed both chambers of Congress and is headed to the president’s desk to be signed into law!
When extremists overturned Roe v. Wade this summer, we knew same-sex marriage was next on the chopping block and we could not let that happen. Everyone deserves to have their right to get married without facing discrimination protected. And even though this bill is a great step forward, we know there is more work to be done to protect LGBTQ+ rights.
Let me be clear: The attacks on Americans’ rights are coming from a small group of extremists who are going against what the rest of the country wants. There is no state with majority support for overturning Roe, and the majority of people in the US want LGBTQ+ marriages to be legal and protected.
This is just one in a long list of measures on the Democrats’ agenda. We’ve passed legislation reducing drug prices, addressing climate change, preventing gun violence, and investing in our infrastructure.
I am proud to serve you and proud to be a part of the Congress that passed this bill.
