Written by Black Hot Fire Network on November 30, 2022
The U.S. Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which codifies protections for same-sex and interracial marriage into federal law, 61-36, Tuesday. Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper voted for the bill.
Bennet took to the Senate floor prior to the vote to urge support for “a historic piece of legislation.”
“There may be no right closer to the heart than marrying the one that you love. And Colorado understands that,” he said.
The bill would require states to recognize same-sex or interracial marriages performed anywhere outside their . . .
