(LifeSiteNews) – In perhaps the greatest defeat conservatives have ever suffered at the hands of Republican Party, the Senate today advanced Democrats’ bill to enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law in a vote of 62 to 37.
Twelve Republican senators joined with all Democrats to pass the bill, the “Respect for Marriage Act,” including: Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, and Todd Young of Indiana.
Democrats needed the support of 10 Republicans to clear the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Today’s vote came despite the objections of many of the most prominent conservative groups in the U.S., including the Heritage Foundation, Alliance Defending Freedom, the Family Research Council, thousands of Christian churches and institutions, and the overwhelming majority of Republican voters who oppose federal legislation to codify homosexual “marriage.”
The Respect of Marriage Act makes same-sex “marriage” the law of the land, ensuring that all 50 states must recognize such unions, regardless of state laws, in the event the Supreme Court overturns its 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which mandates legal recognition of same-sex “marriage” nationwide.

Pastors such as these are one of the reasons God Almighty is currently judging America...it will not end well for them, or their followers.
Mo would like 19 marriage licenses.
And he’ll take family health coverage for his new family.
I think it’s here.
I think we are experiencing the beginnings of it by God allowing corrupt and immoral political leaders to take up positions of authority over us.
“Inflation Reduction Act”
“Affordable Care Act”
How stupid are we......
And it removes the issue for 2024.
Well, then they are bass-ackwards and are pushing a seditious unconstitutional/unenforceable bill that is in contravention of the US Constitution.
Same sex “marriage” is NOT marriage!!!!
I see that Mr. Mormon himself, Mitt Romney, (the founder of several Mormon congregations and at least one Mormon “temple”) signed on to this travesty!!!! What would Joseph Smith or Brigham Young say? I don’t know, but I know exactly what Apostle Paul says!!!!
If this passes, I hope that the Supreme Count vomits it out, and repeals ALL “gay” rights!!!! We can’t allow ourselves to be WAY worse than Russia on these issues!!!!
Next stop on the way to Sodom.....Pedophilaville.
Recall that for Utah to become a state they had to give that up.
I guess Mitch McConnell did agree with Schumer on what kind of party the Republicans should be after all.
Yeah the Church is on the healing bandwagon as well. My problem is I’m a very cynical person, and perhaps I am not acting fully in faith of Christ that he can indeed heal whomever the pastor calls out.
Christianity Today just got, forgive me for the expression, God awful as well. It’s nasty brutish take on Trump was just the final straw for me.
Oh I don’t doubt it metmom!
Believers that I have talked to “ feel” it in the air.
We need to reinforce our spiritual nutrients and stay in God’s Word as we are going to need comfort and assurance, more than ever!!
I'm not satisfied with this, but I'm not ready to give up on this country either, especially after we took back the House.
Still like to marry them....got's to be some tax advantage.
But every major American city was.
The boy's hate them.
Like hell it does! States (although not constitutional either) define marriage, not the federales.
I am not sure about your speculation, but your observation is extremely interesting.
We can bag those...
