Senate Breaks Filibuster for Respect for Marriage Act (EDIT: Advances 62-37)

[BrienDoesIt]

62. I don't have the energy to go to all 35 states and fight their gay marriage bans

Are you saying that the supreme court hasn't already discussed the gay marriage protection and repealing it? Do you know there's already a case winding it's way through the courts now?

But I guess now that we have a law saying that's states can discriminate against us as long as they recognize outside licenses. They don't do that for straight people but I guess I should just be happy for any scraps I get, no matter how far back it sets us.


these are the states that will allow bans on gay marriage if obergefell gets struck down
