      What are you talking about?

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect_for_Marriage_Act

      … signed into law by President Joe Biden. It repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), requires the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories (though not tribes) to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States…

      It stopped short of requiring any and all states to perform same-sex marriage but it was a definite improvement over existing law. As always I’m sure they held back on a full guarantee of a right to marriage because a handful of “moderate” Democrats refused to support it otherwise. I hope history records Manchin and Sinema as doing measurable harm to our country.

        This law had enough Republicans supporting it to bypass anything the rotating villains did. Democrats inserted poison pills in it to get republican support in order to get a good headline.

        I’m not defending anyone, I’m calling out the bullshit law that’s in place. It’s the law itself that will allow discrimination when SCOTUS strikes down Obergefell. Fucking Democrats did that to us.

          This is 100% not true, and people have already shown you sources proving it yesterday. I know you hate losing a reason to hate liberals, but you’re just gonna have to accept that you were wrong about this one, kiddo. Either grow up, or leave this to the adults.

            Im not losing to reason, Im battling cult of personality bias.

            Has there ever been a single person that democrats disagree with they didnt try to infantilize, or is the narcissism too deep?
