The Democrat-led House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to pass a bill that would enshrine protections for same-sex marriage into federal law. But it’s not clear whether the bill can pass the Senate.

The bipartisan final vote was 267 to 157 with 47 Republicans joining with Democrats to vote for the bill. It's not clear, however, whether the bill can pass the Senate where at least 10 Republicans would need to join with Democrats to overcome the filibuster's 60-vote threshold. The vote comes amid fears among Democrats that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court could take aim at same-sex marriage in the future, after the high court overturned Roe v.

Americans and those in interracial marriages deserve to have certainty that they will continue to have their right to equal marriage recognized, no matter where they live." House Republican leaders were not planning to whip their members to vote against the bill, a GOP source told CNN ahead of the vote. House Democrats, leaning into cultural issues in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's abortion decision, also are looking at moving a bill this week to guarantee access to contraception.

These justices are lawyers. They’re not going to dissolve the contract of marriage. Way too much to unravel at all levels of government.

Nancy is the anti-Christ

The alphabet community is not as powerful as they think.

This is Sunday law. Restrictions of freedom of consciousness.

CNN used to be a devoted fan will not watch Jake Tapper. Too negative. Have you forgotten our former guy. Testing out msnbc ...

Why is this a priority...... so much more things needs attention in our country to be focused on this .... ijs

More extremist, radical leftist BS! Always have to push the envelope to try to buy votes! Disgusting!

Face of the demon

How can I unsee this garbage?!

This is crap this country is falling apart and look what she is talking about

Who gives a shit there are more important things to worry about right now don’t you think ?

The dems are so focused on Allthis crap instead of worrying how to lower gas n food prices so we the Americans can live

Nobody is taking away anyone’s right to get Monkeypox. Chill.

There’s always Manchin😡

WADR, ThankYou House Democrats For Protecting ALL Who CHOOSE To Marry … 🖕🏽ALL Who VOTED NO‼️ NOW The Senate Must KillTheFilibuster & VOTE FOR & PASS THE RespectForMarriageAct B4 The SCOTUS Taliban VOTES TO DESTROY MORE ChoiceOfThePeople ‼️

I can’t wait for this to fail.

Sadly, Americans cannot count on the Right to stand up for our Constitutional rights to Liberty, Justice, and the pursuit of Happiness for All.

I thing it's very clear on the contrary. The Senate will block it.

House of Reps desperately scratching for votes. Their motto: tell them what they want to hear? Damn the cost.

Men and women have always married each other. Why legalize this same sex perversion with a marriage certificate now? Let them be sex perverts without a marriage license.

Abomination

Why is it CNN doesn't report on the crisis on the southern border? I believe only viewers that don't want to know what's really going on watch CNN.

Just let Americans vote!

Laws against hate crimes are out!

BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE LGTBQ THEY ARE COMING TO REVERSE YOUR RIGHTS, PROSECUTE YOU, PERSECUTE YOU AND PUSH YOU BACK INTO THE CLOSET. PLEASE SHOW UP IN MASS FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION!!! 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👨‍👨‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👧👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👬👨‍❤️‍👨

They worry about this while people suffer food prices thought the roof gas prices crazy and climate change we all feel why can't they get on track with what's really happening what has happened to this world I see it's only about the almighty dollar that's not worth anything

Manchin will vote with the Republicans. He always does.

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

No bias here, folks, none at all. No divisive agenda whatsoever.

the Claw!

“Marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that” - Joe Biden on NBC News Remember that. How quick America is to only look at the surface quality of him not being Trump but all the racist, homophobic garbage Biden said in the past, they just feign ignorance.

This is terrible news

Dr. Dawkins, there's no heaven. He's from Oxford VS Dr. Alexander, there's a heaven. He's from Harvard, Duke There's Heaven. Victory

they coulda done it when Obama was president. but....Obama was against gay marriage. tho Axelrold later admitted that Obama lied to his voters, and really did support it. 🤨

Should not

We have an energy crisis and hyperinflation going on and they're just pandering for votes. Sad. People's lives are on the line.

Why can’t people get it that marriage comes as a blessing between a man & a woman not the same sex. It is the mere act of procreation that makes a a union into a marriage not the matrimonial piece of paper. You can dress a man with woman garments but it does not make him a woman!

Um it's clear. You know this

Senate will always block anything so people should be this coming November 2022

Wait. Wait. Wait. Do you are to tell me that congress can pass laws. That the court can say the court shouldn’t make these decisions, rather the people’s representatives? So Dobbs wasn’t so bad after all.

Hopefully, the Senate puts a stop to this nonsense.

Putin obeys Xi Jingping's orders! In a month's time, the Chinese army will start invading not Taiwan, but Russia. Putin has betrayed Russia will not be able to protect Russia from a Chinese invasion instead of Taiwan! The Chinese are cunning, they say one thing and do another!

CNN and Left support corrupt Nancy. Deflect, deflect, deflect.🙉🙈🙊

It won't.

Without the Senate. These laws the House is passing is just for show. They mean nothing.

Biden flew 7,000 miles away only to fail at getting more Saudi oil. That is how much he hates American energy.

This is brilliant! Force them to be on the record on where they stand so there is no ambiguity leading to the midterms!

Of course it very clear the bill will not pass at the Congress

Pass a bill for term limits!

I just don’t get why someone would vote against it. It does not effect other peoples lives at all. Anyone that votes against it is just a terrible person.

No one can take away my marriage rights

BREAKING: Congresspeople do their job for once.

And it is unconstitutional.

Can they focus on the economy now?

We need a new plague...

Straw man knocked down. Pelosi House is a ridiculous theater act! All this because Putin went out in Public and China threatened Pelosi. No questions or comments on that?

Jesus its every week that a bill passes the house then is swat down by senate and then they say OH WELL, VOTE. Honestly it does the opposite of motivate me. It makes me think the party Im in is ineffective and just sings and dances

Hang on, I thought laws were made in the Supreme Court? Democrats have been telling me that passing legislation is the end of democracy.

Devils

More male gays, more Monkeypox.

I wish house could pass a bill for people can have inside trading.

Fake, pretend handcuffs

Well, it only took them how many damn years to learn how this whole democracy thing works

It'll only get struck down eventually. 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.' Y'all need to learn you need a Constitutional Convention, not a hissy fit.

Need to pass Florida’s don’t say gay law - then ban same sec marriage- and finally term limits!

As long as this isn't like all the other Dem-bills where they try to throw a bunch of other shit in the bill then try to make the Republicans look bad for not voting it through. I'm a Republican that's all for whatever kind of marriage you want AND women's right to abortion. 🤷

Codify and cover it in man-made laws all you want but true marriage is given by God to keep the bed undefiled. Yours is a mockery of God, mankind, and the tax man.

What is wrong with your country

🚨Spoiler alert🚨: it will not

Not clear? You're kidding, right?

I’m getting real tired of the fools in our Senate running this country

Oh do they did their jobs? Why didn't they do this for abortion? Ah yes, that whole assembly line lobby thing

Oh jeez you would have thought they would have done that for abortion rights but then the HouseDemocrats SenateDems POTUS SpeakerPelosi couldn’t point fingered and play the political blame game to get votes! That or they really don’t care 🤦‍♂️

Call your State Rep or Vote them out

the government shouldnt be involved in marriage.

🌝

To override DOMA, the homophobic law Biden voted for and Clinton signed.

If Dems actually cared about same sex marriage or abortion rights, these would have been codified years ago, or at the least, introduced at the beginning (Day 1) of each & every session until they were signed into law....Not at the last minute before elections they will lose

Yeah No it's not passing the senate. Playing games bc of roe.

But still nothing on Roe, cis ladies, Democrats are showing you they don’t see cis women as full humans. Democrats will probably compromise with Republicans and let certify you as 7/8 human

The Neo-confederates in the senate are unfortunately almost sure to stall it.

I think we all know it won't pass the Senate.

They also control the Senate

House Democrats passed a bill on Tuesday to protect all Americans from bigotry, discrimination & hate. Republicans are pro-bigotry, discrimination & hate. Which side are you on?

You mean they're actually doing their jobs? Fantastic

We need an amendment that says “No law shall be passed that affects one group that doesn’t affect another”

You mean people in Congress can create laws and vote on them I thought they were only there to show up on CNN to bitch/moan and pretend to be arrested like AOC

When I see a headline like this my first thought is what else is in the bill for it not to pass. Should pass easily if it’s just about same sex marriage

🤡💩 HAPPY MONKEYPOX MONTH

DriveKMJ shutupskippy

Galatians 6:7🙏

Only someone with an extremely low moral character would vote no on this. Same goes for a bill protecting reproductive rights.

And after that they also need to pass a bill to protect interracial marriages . My god this country is so backwards

The Democrats always preside over abomination in America, and they will lead America into eternal damnation

How does same sex marriage hurt anyone? U don’t approve? Fine. U dont do that.The majority of Americans say we’re fine with it.We have REAL PROBLEMS in America: this is NOT one of them.samesexmarriage BlueWave2022 SeperationOfChurchAndState 🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸🌊🇺🇸gayrights

Can you imagine the courts ruled the approximately 500k of married + 400k common-law same sex couples were all of a sudden single. 🤣🤣🤣. I bet 500k of them would be super happy.

House bills unfortunately mean shit. Senate controls everything, dictates what they want and the house writes it.

Nancy Pelosi- 'I will Live for 1000 Years'

WHAT ABOUT the Democrat-led House of Representatives voting to pass a bill that would enshrine protections for ALL NEEDED ABORTIONS into federal law? Don’t DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WOMEN!

This Just In - CNN is that friend that changed over the years and you have no idea who they are now

When is that last time literally ANYTHING passed the Senate aside from the toothless gun bill?

Will they pass a bill to void Pelosi's husband to make profit on 'inside information' to buy shares?
