House to vote on landmark legislation to protect same-sex, interracial marriages

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : The Respect for Marriage Act would not force states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples but would require that people be considered married in any state as long as the marriage was valid in the state where it was performed.
47% : In addition to defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, it allowed states to decline to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
40% : That law has remained on the books despite being declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court's 2013 ruling in United States vs. Windsor and its 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which guaranteed same-sex couples the fundamental right to marry.
