I appreciate the many allies here swimboy Nov 2022 #5

My takes on the Respect for Marriage Act swimboy Nov 2022 #37

Thanks for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it. emulatorloo Nov 2022 #42

If Republicans voted for it Bettie Nov 2022 #2

Only 12 Republicans voted for it. emulatorloo Nov 2022 #4

To get 12 Republicans to vote for it Bettie Nov 2022 #8

Okay, so what are the flaws? Inform the rest of us so we might take action? hlthe2b Nov 2022 #10

I am willing to take the word of Bettie Nov 2022 #11

Kindly read what I wrote which NEVER ONCE was skeptical of the LGBTQ concerns. NOT ONCE hlthe2b Nov 2022 #15

OH NO! Bettie Nov 2022 #20

The majority of posters on this thread are asking as I have how to help and you attack them hlthe2b Nov 2022 #21

I love my allies on DU. William769 Nov 2022 #24

Back at ya, William! hlthe2b Nov 2022 #25

Well I am part of the LGBTQ community William769 Nov 2022 #23

I don't know all the interactions between Federal and State laws Bettie Nov 2022 #26

I live in Florida, what do you think? William769 Nov 2022 #28

From my reading of it... W_HAMILTON Nov 2022 #27

Thanks for that. Prior legislation (Federal) has required marriages from one locale to another hlthe2b Nov 2022 #31

The moderate Republicans who voted for it aren't homophobes. Counterproductive to emulatorloo Nov 2022 #12

Everyone is listening. Let us know your concerns. emulatorloo Nov 2022 #3

Hear, hear! phoenix_rising Nov 2022 #6

As I understand it Jersey Devil Nov 2022 #7

My understanding as well. emulatorloo Nov 2022 #13

Is it okay if I simultaneously acknowledge the concerns and frustrations of my LGBTQ+ friends Hugh_Lebowski Nov 2022 #9

Please educate me. My daughter and her girlfriend are planning a wedding for next year. Irish_Dem Nov 2022 #14

Depends on Obergefell swimboy Nov 2022 #32

OK thanks. So they can get married, but not sure which state. Irish_Dem Nov 2022 #33

I doubt the courts will overturn Demsrule86 Nov 2022 #34

Ok thanks. Irish_Dem Nov 2022 #35

As I understand it Darwins_Retriever Nov 2022 #17

Bottom line: we lose w/o Obergefell phoenix_rising Nov 2022 #22

The bill states that states have to honor marriages from other states. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #30

TL;DR: RMA would not protect marriages if Obergefell were to ever fall. There is always, always, WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2022 #18

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good " DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #29

Exactly Johnny2X2X Nov 2022 #36

I read the anti commandeerig doctrine prevents Congress from forcing states to issue licenses. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #38

States are already forced to issue licenses right now Johnny2X2X Nov 2022 #39

That's it. If Obergefell was overturned states could deny licenses to same sex couples. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2022 #40

Then it's a good compromise IMO Johnny2X2X Nov 2022 #41
