Constitutional law experts dispute the claim by Texas' two senators that the bill would invite lawsuits against religious groups. TedCruz JohnCornyn Texas LGBTQIA RespectForMarriageAct MarriageEquality civilrights
U.S. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz both voted against codifying marriage equality.
The Respect for Marriage Act, which the Senate passed Tuesday on a 61-36 vote, would require states to recognize all legally performed marriages and would scrap the obsolete Defense of Marriage Act, which stipulates that only marriages between a man and a woman qualify for federal benefits. The Democrat-led U.S. House passed a version of the Respect for Marriage Act in a bipartisan vote this summer. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill once the House votes to approve Senate amendments.
