Today, President Biden will sign the Respect for Marriage Act. It will nullify the odious act known as DOMA, which had enshrined anti LGBTQ+ prejudice and discrimination into law.
Federal recognition of same sex marriages, by statute, is an important safeguard, but we must still do more. We must now enshrine the protections of Obergefell into law, so that no state can deny same-sex couples the rights and privileges afforded heterosexual married couples.
@georgetakei As I read this I was shedding tears. My daughter came into the living room asked "What's wrong mommy?" I wipe the tears from my face and pulled Queen in closely, telling her "Biden is scrubbing all the evil that the orange who shall not be named has done to us." Queen squealed in delight to share the news to zer Madre. The three of us all embraced and weeped in tears of joy. Bless you Biden. You will go down as the greatest hero humanity ever received. Awomen :pray:
