What's the point? It's been legal nationwide since 2015, and the whole reason for this legislation was because of Clarence Thomas's post-Dobbs comments. In the event the Supreme Court wanted to return gay marriage back to the states, this law would do zero to prevent that. It's completely meaningless, and all the D.C. politicians calling it "landmark" or whatever are knowingly full of crap.

There should be NO legislation during a lame duck session

Yes.
Because of the TERRIBLE THREATS to interracial marriage in the United States, the US Senate simply HAD to act.
Effing clowns.

THankfully it was gutted out of it’s most serious flaws...number one problem was it left no room for religious liberty but I think Mike Lee got it included in the language. Also as I understand it is STILL up to the states as the feds can’t make state laws concerning marriage. It was severely weakened but of course it still inches us closer to the leftist position of anything goes.

He would rule against interracial marriage in a New York minute if such a case ever came before the Supreme Court.  Â

Leftists always engage in the fallacy of category error.
Male/female marriage is normal and constructive.
Homo unions are destructive and abnormal.

This law would require states to honor all lawful marriages from other states, including those of same-sex couples. In that scenario a gay or lesbian couple residing in a state where same-sex marriage is banned could go to another state to get married, and upon their return their home state would be required under the Constitution’s Full Faith & Credit Act to recognize the marriage, even if it wasn’t legal under that state’s laws.

That really is how these idiots think. Never mind that Clarence Thomas is married to white women.

Word is this is so the IRS can ya k the tax exempt status of Christian churches.
They’ll go around as they did to cake bakers and ask them to participate and then sue those that refuse into oblivion.
To: Coronal
The Republican party wants the votes of social conservatives. They just don’t want to represent them in congress.
Anyone who votes for a representative who despises their constituent is a useful idiot.

So.......when do I get to marry my sister? (sarc)
