Twelve GOP senators voted today in favor of marriage equality, overcoming the 60-vote filibuster threshold:

Roy Blunt (MO)
Richard Burr (NC)
Shelley Moore Capito (WV)
Susan Collins (ME)
Cynthia Lummis (WY)
Rob Portman (OH)
Dan Sullivan (AK)
Mitt Romney (UT)
Thom Tillis (NC)
Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Join Ernst (IA)
Todd Young (IN)

I wrote about why I don't like this bill, and why it absolutely needed to pass.

I'm glad it did. Read my piece on it here:

I Hate the Senate Bill and We Need It to Pass

Listen now (13 min) | It sucks. And it's our only real option. We have to pass it.

@charlotteclymer This bill is garbage, and didn't need to pass.

@alyssagambone It absolutely needed to pass, and it's completely absurd to wish and hope that 2024 will go well enough that we reach 60 votes. No, that's childish and deeply irresponsible.

@charlotteclymer This bill is a joke. It's worse than Obergefell, gives political cover to SCOTUS to repeal, and will be repealed in 2024. Passing this bill is a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. We got nothing positive from it, and gave the red states the green light to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples and to misgender trans people when deciding marriages. This bill is fascist.

@alyssagambone I realize that being performative online is really satisfying for you, but it is not accurate. At all. Sorry. It sounds like you need to read up on legislature procedure and electoral strategy. In the meantime, I'm gonna block you. Bye now.

@alyssagambone @charlotteclymer Thank you Charlotte. Let’s please not bring twitter’s bad habits over here. If you are going to disagree give us the actual reasons somehow, not just the anger and vituperativeness.
