Bill protecting same-sex, interracial unions passes House

The House of Representatives this morning passed the Respect for Marriage Act, the last step before it goes to the White House for President Joe Biden to sign into law. Once the law is on the books, states and the federal government will have to honor all legal marriages from any state, even if the Supreme Court at some point reverses its 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Missouri GOP Rep. Vicky Hartzler tried to run for the US Senate in Missouri this past cycle and she had a hard time breaking through the field to be the biggest lunatic of all, but that was a testament to the level of lunacy in her primary. For pete's sake, horrible human being Eric Greitens was one of her opponents.

Vicky took to the floor of the House of Representatives and cried over gay people’s ability to marry. This is a reminder that tears aren’t always an expression of vulnerability - sometimes, they’re from being forced to yield power.
