Wetterdew 07/19/22 10:23:59 PM #1:	https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/19/us/politics/house-gay-marriage-bill.html The legislation passed on Tuesday would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, which defined a marriage as the union between a man and a woman, a law that was struck down by Obergefell but has remained on the books. The legislation would mandate that the federal government recognize a marriage if it was valid in the state where it was performed, which would address the patchwork of differing state laws. That would protect same-sex marriages in the roughly 30 states that currently prohibit them, should the court overturn Obergefell. The bill also would provide additional legal protections to same-sex couples, such as giving the attorney general the authority to pursue enforcement actions and ensuring that all states recognize public acts, records and judicial proceedings for out-of-state marriages. --- Block ads unrepentantly. <cite>Wetterdew posted [p:966698027] in The House ...
