House Approves Bill to Guarantee Same-Sex, Interracial Marriage Rights

The House approved legislation protecting same-sex and interracial marriage on Thursday.

The Respect for Marriage Act requires all states to recognize these marriages regardless of “sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.”

The legislation passed 258-169.

While many Republicans opposed same-sex marriage a decade ago, more than two-thirds have shown public support for them now.

President Biden is expected to quickly sign the measure.
