Biden ចុះហត្ថលេខាលើការការពារអាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍ភេទដូចគ្នាទៅជាច្បាប់

Topline

New federal protections for same-sex marriage became law on Tuesday when President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act in a White House ceremony, marking a bipartisan victory for lawmakers who passed the bill to prevent rights for same-sex couples from being overturned by a conservative-majority Supreme Court.

“This is about realizing the promise of the Declaration of Independence. A promise rooted in sacred and secular beliefs,” Biden said in a speech prior to issuing his signature. “A promise that we’re all created equal. We’re all entitled to what Abraham Lincoln called an open field and a fair chance. There’s nothing more decent, more dignified, more American, [than]

what we’re doing here today. It’s about who we are as a nation.”

Lawmakers announced the bill this summer following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade. In issuing his concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that rights to birth-control access and same-sex marriage could also come under scrutiny. The Supreme Court granted the right to same-sex marriage in every state in its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, and required the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages issued at the state level in its 2013 U.S. v. Windsor ruling. However, 35 states still have laws on the books that ban same-sex marriage, and they could be triggered back into effect if Obergefell is overturned, which some observers think is possible with a Supreme Court that has shifted rightward since 2015. Democrats vowed to take up the legislation before the next session of Congress, when a Republican-controlled House could have stymied its passage.

39. That’s the number of House Republicans who voted in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, down from 47 who approved an earlier version of the legislation in July. The bill was amended in the Senate to recruit the GOP votes needed to surpass the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster. The new provisions specify that religious organizations that do not support same-sex marriage will not lose their tax-exempt status and declare that marriage is between two people, language intended to ease Republican concerns that the law could endorse polygamy. Twelve Republican senators, including Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Mitt Romney (Utah), ultimately voted in favor of the bill.
