In a statement to NBC News, a spokesperson for Thompson said, “Congressman and Mrs. Thompson were thrilled to attend and celebrate their son’s marriage on Friday night as he began this new chapter in his life."Thompson was one of 157 House Republicans to vote against the same-sex marriage bill.
In a statement to the Centre Daily Times, a Thompson spokesperson called the Respect for Marriage Act an"election-year messaging stunt for Democrats in Congress." Democrats introduced the bill following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a concurring opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should reconsider other"substantive due process precedents," including the Obergefell decision, which made same-sex marriage legal nationwide.
A bill which changes nothing. This is a non-sequiter.
