President Biden will sign the Respect for Marriage bill today. The celebration comes after months of work on Capitol Hill and years of changed attitudes — even as the threat looms that the Supreme Court could roll back same-sex marriage rights.

And he is about to sign the Respect for Marriage Act, which repeals DOMA.During the 2008 campaign, Biden, as former President Obama's running mate,"No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage."

Democrats had moved toward the half-measure of civil unions — giving legal rights to gay couples, but, largely because of the politics, were not ready to come out fully in support of"marriage."As vice president, Biden got out ahead of President Obama in advocating for same-sex marriage — on national television.."And will you be loyal to the person you love? ... whether they're marriages of lesbians or gay men or heterosexuals.

Intellectually lazy administration signs rights act that already exists. While American families are struggling. This administration is incompetent of fixing any real issues.

Respect for Marriage Disrespect for Marriage is more like it...and disrespect for Jews as well

The Disrespect for Marriage act of 2022. You confuse lust with love. Disrespect God and God will Disrespect you.

Devolution.

Gay

How about support for morality

Boooo! Not in Gods eyes or mine. Turn from Pride!

Unconstitutional law.......see 10th amendment

What happens to acts, orders and laws signed by an illegitimate administration? Bye, bye, bye!!

And right back to the states... eventually

CJSlaby IANAL, but couldn’t SCOTUS rule this bill unconstitutional if R can get a challenge? How does this protect from anything?

We should outlaw heterosexual marriage. Why doesn't our government do more?

Same sex marriage is against the law of God. Many people know this, but they prefer to take the side of Satan. There will be consequences.

Marriages that will mean nothing. 🙄

Imagine what they could have done for reproductive rights

Once again Biden will get overturned by the SC

Nothing for women seeking abortion rights?

Charges should be filed Tara Reade recalls shocking details of Joe Biden's sexual assault on her: 'He had me up against a wall and he penetrated me with his fingers against my will.' Utter SILENCE from Regime Media.

Yes!

You should educate. This is a State issue, not Federal

Gas prices are going down too!

The bill that disrespects marriage, 😂

Why is he doing this before codifying laws against child abuse? What kind of freaks are these people?

JVanderBrug If the court overturned Obergefell and some states proceeded to ban gay marriage, could other states allow remote weddings? IE could someone get married in, say, Tennessee with a marriage license/certificate from Illinois?

BidenDestroysAmerica

Marriage is between a man and a woman even Barry Obama said that- until he needed the Gay vote. Gay unions with all of the rights sure. But don't call it marriage because it's not-- semantics matter

The government should not acknowledge marriage and should not know who marries. Marriage is private, and often religious, and nothing the state should meddle in. Keep track of birth and disease and things that matter.

Judgy church zealots need to mind their own business & keep their noses out of people's bedrooms & underwear. It's just wrong. Same sex marriage doesn't affect you. Any marriage doesn't affect you. FFS I'm sick to death of religious people setting laws for everyone.

conveniently timed the same day Sam Bankman-Fried was due to give his congressional testimony on FTX. Identity politics for the distraction, again!

Another very sad day in America history as we slide into the beginning of the end.

What about respect for our sovereignty? 2.76 million illegals have crossed our border. 600,000 got a ways! Its totally out of control. Time for a house cleaning of the government with a National referendum on term limits !

MAgA won’t like this.

BTW DefundNPR

Evil.

Zero evidence SCOTUS was going to go after same sex rights. This entire bill and left wing MSM coverage of it was a ploy to keep scaring LGBTQIA voters.

The federal govt needs to stay out of this. potus could care less about this issue. Just pushing a bullshit narrative. We are a FREE country (last I checked), you can be with whomever you want. We don't need the govt butting in. ✌️🇺🇲

That threat is an invention by the leftist propaganda media. The supreme court already said they will not touch the right to marry for same sex people. This marriage act has only one intent. Legitimize people who think they can change genders at will

Marriage has always been between a man and a woman. When a man and man, or woman and woman join together, it should be called something else. I'm all for making any partnership leagal. Just call it something else other than marriage.

HC_Richardson Amazing that the media is ignoring that US oil production for September went over 12 million barrels per day, pre covid numbers, up from May of 2020 when it was down to 9.7 million barrels a day. Record production expected for 2023.

HC_Richardson Invite the crybaby… make her see that she is misguided.

Mayor Lightfoot is restricting police scanner access to the public. She is pulling press badges on reporters she doesn’t like. We just had 18,000 cross the border in 48 hours. The Democrat party is adopting the policies of the Gestapo. It’s time for a We the People to say enough.

When is the Respect for Body Autonomy signing ?

Gay marriage was never in jeopardy. The dems just love their virtue signaling. There are millions of gay conservatives.

I hope RandyRainbow got an invitation!

if two people want to wreck their relationship -- end up netflixing on the couch for 20Y chomping potato chips every Friday night -- by getting married they should be allowed to do so same-gender couples should be allowed same access to inevitable divorce as mixed-gender couples

Mothers are not Fathers and Fathers are not mothers. Families led by same-sex marriage will fail in the long run.

Clowns

Vickie isn't gonna be happy about this.

Next up: Multiple marriage partners and removal of pedophilia laws. Anything for a vote. Morals don't interest Liberals.

Respect for Marriage 🤔 Does that mean any person who engages in adultery will be arrested? Anyone who breaks their marriage vows will be thrown in jail? Half of Congress would be arrested and nearly all of Hollywood. “Respect for Marriage”: they couldn’t if they tried

No mention by ANY msm outlets about fbi interference in elections

Repubs are the same as the German yatzhees in the 1930s,attacking human rights and fomenting domestic terrorism. Trying to vilify LGBTQ like Hitlr's yatzhees vilified the Jewish people. Thank goodness for Biden and Americans who still support democracy.

This is why government needs to be out of all marriage business. No one should need permission and obtain a license to be married. Government has no business in ANY marriage between adults.

it disrespects marriage, like all things leftist, its the opposite

Again democrats do what’s right instead of what is politically expedient.

Tell us about the drag queen that he invited to the signing who also performs in front of children.

I would rather see a Defund Ukraine Bill

Priorities for sure.🥴

Hopefully The President will have time to make his first visit to the Border. Just joking -- too dangerous due since Mexican Cartel controls our Border .. Joe needs to make his 58 trip to his Beach House for a rest. Oh .. is the Beach House Wall completed?

Biden to sign gay marriage bill at White House ceremonyThe new law is intended to safeguard gay marriages if the U.S. Supreme Court ever reverses Obergefell v. Hodges, its 2015 decision legalizing same-sex unions nationwide. The new law also protects interracial marriages. Why did they refuse to accept Republican amendment protecting religious entities to opt out? Good luck trying to get a pastor to approve This applies to such a minute portion of the US population, but gets a lot of press?
