HISTORY! The Senate has passed the Respect for Marriage Act granting federal recognition to same-sex marriages by a vote of 61-36. Only 12 Republicans joined every Democrat in voting for the landmark bill.

@MeidasTouch the bill does 3 important things — repeals #DOMA, requires fed'l recognition of legal same-sex marriages, requires states not to discriminate b/c of sex or race in recognition of marriage — but it does not require states to marry same-sex couples.
This is a BFD for #gayrights. and #humanrights
@Kinnison @MeidasTouch agree with the #humanrights but not the #gayrights 😤 we are ALL the same!! Just want to live our lives happy healthy and safe! Why put a label on it?
"Gay" to me means happy.
