The Respect for Marriage Act repeals the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, protects marriage equality for federal purposes, and provides additional protections at the state level: "As an early champion of marriage equality and full and complete LGBTQ+ rights, I applaud the passage of the Respect for Marriage Act. This legislation will go a long way in protecting the safeguards formerly established by the Supreme Court - constitutional rights enjoyed by millions of LGBT citizens and that reflect the core values held dear by the vast majority of Americans. No person should be told who they can or cannot marry based on sex, gender identity, or race. As we witness continued attacks against the LGBTQ community, we must do everything in our power to protect the community and their hard-won rights and stop those intent on destroying and devaluing these loving relationships. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
