#NewHampshire guarantees #interracial #marriage #rights in #statelaw with new #MaritalFreedomAct. The #sponsor of the #bill said the #federal #abortionrights reversal last year raised concerns about #marriageequality.
#LovingVVirginia legalized #interracialmarriages in 1967.

#Tennessee has passed a state law which effectively guts the #MarriageEqualityAct.
This is being sold to voters as a way to not force #CountyClerks & other officials to obey the law of the land, and allow them to practice their misguided beliefs. The problem is, #marriages CANNOT be legal without the signature of these officials.
It will also allow officials to discriminate against #InterracialMarriages and #InterfaithMarriages.
Their firm knowledge that the current #Conservative #SCOTUS bench will almost certainly refuse to uphold the #Constitution and existing laws, in favor of their own #bigoted ideology, is really emboldening the #KKK and other #GOP voters there.

So did the #respectformarriageact force states to recognize #lgbtq marriages and #interracialmarriages?
For example, if, once my #idaho marriage was dissolved by #SCOTUS, I crossed the border into Washington, got married once again to my spouse, #idaho would have to offer state benefits in all areas including taxation and healthcare?
and what of the 16 states that still have interracial marriage bans in the books?
