The Respect for Marriage Act is a more permissive law than the precedent set by Obergefell. It wouldn’t require states to license same-sex marriages, which Obergefell does. It would mandate they recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. The Respect for Marriage Act also doesn’t explicitly regulate businesses, which could help quell concern from Republicans concerned about religious liberties, experts told Grid.

If a business, or church, barely dips its toe into a government program, they will be forced to bow to the homosexual idol, or close down.
Seems to be a big inconsistency.
Everything in the leftist world view is inconsistent.
“Our way or the highway” is their rule.
“It would mandate they recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.”
“Gay” “marriage” ISN’T marriage!!!!
PHOOEY!!!!
If the Federal government respected marriage it would stay the heck out of marriage! That’s between me, my wife and God! Abolish FICA and limited the federal government and voila....problem solved.
Like license to carry (a firearm?)
So, you're prepared to file as a single on your tax return? Assuming your wife doesn't work, that's going to result in a massive increase in your marginal rate.
Did you read my reply? get rid of FICA...meaning, go with a flat tax or get rid of FICA and end all the “exemptions”.
No bill does less or equal to how it is advertised. None.
Getting rid of income tax is a completely separate issue.
This is a lefty never-Trump site. Take what it says with a grain of salt.
I know, I just think it’s funny how the left thinks.
And it’s hilarious that they name their site for the name first given to AIDS.
What most fail to understand is that it would force all states to recognize what one state allows.
If Nevada reinstates polygamy, every state would have to recognize polygamy.
If California legalizes human-animal marriage, then every state will have to legalize it.
If Minnesota allows for 13 year olds to marry, then every state will be forced to allow it.
What most fail to understand is that it would force all states to recognize what one state allows.
One reason that Utah’s admission was delayed for decades was the issue of polygamy. One requirement for Utah statehood was that polygamy be outlawed.
As for marriage, at least one state allows 14-year-old girls to marry if pregnant or already mothers.
But as things stand now, if Utah legalizes polygamy, every state would have to recognize the marriage status of the polygamous group.
I think that the only way round it would be a Constitutional Amendment.
It always cracks me up that Democrats want this respected for marriage but NOTY for firearms.
