Contributing sentiments towards policy:
63% : Following the Senate and the House's historic votes on same-sex marriage protections, the legislation now heads to President Joe Biden's desk for a signature.59% : The Respect for Marriage, or RFMA, would ensure interstate recognition of same-sex marriages already performed or those performed in other states.
55% : That means, if a same-sex couple from Indiana would travel to Illinois to get married, Indiana would have to honor that marriage.
50% : The bill would not, however, require Indiana or others states to allow same-sex marriages.
45% : In the House, six Indiana Republicans voted against same-sex marriage protections and the two Democrats voted in favor.
44% : Last week, 12 Republicans, including a Hoosier senator, joined the Democratic caucus to pass the same-sex marriage bill, which would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as "a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife".
44% : "The difference that the new federal Respect for Marriage Act makes is that under those circumstances Indiana could go back to prohibiting same-sex marriages from taking place in Indiana," Sanders said.
44% : "What it could not do in the future because of the new Respect for Marriage Act is to deny recognition to same-sex marriages that come from other states."
43% : In Indiana, a state law still on the books bans same-sex marriage.
42% : In an opinion piece for IndyStar, Young said same-sex couples want to enjoy the same legal protections as heterosexual couples and the bill would bring both groups closer to dignity and respect.
41% : He also reassured his voting base that religious freedoms would not be impacted by its passing.
38% : Young voted in favor of protections for same-sex marriage while Braun voted against.
36% : When he first ran for senator in 2018, he also told IndyStar he believes in traditional marriage and is against abortion as a matter of his Christian faith.
27% : Steve Sanders, a constitutional law professor at Indiana University and expert on same-sex marriage, said Congress would not have the power to tell states to perform same-sex marriages under the RFMA.
