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

92. Just going off your own words

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

I've seen nothing in any of your posts to indicate you "aren't unhappy" about the law. All you've done is call it a step backwards and assert that your rights will be taken away by it.

Right now the only people who can take those rights away are the Supreme Court, not a law passed by a Democratic Congress that will be signed by Biden.

My suggestion is that if you want to talk about the problems with this, maybe don't accuse people celebrating its passage of supporting gay marriage bans, tell them it's a step backwards and taking away your rights - because it is none of those things.

And I will agree that it doesn't go far enough, that's pretty much the problem of having to compromise to pass bills. But it absolutely is NOT a step backwards - there are a lot of people who would lose a lot more than the right to get married if Obergfell is overturned and this law is not in place, you seem to only be concerned with that one portion. Marriage rights are a lot more than being able to get a piece of paper - and all those rights will be protected once Biden signs this.
