The Fight To Protect Same-Sex Marriage
1A - Podcast autorstwa NPR
A new bill is making its way through Congress that would protect the right to same-sex marriage on the federal level. The Respect for Marriage Act passed the House with the support of 47 Republicans.The push in Congress comes after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson's Women's Health decision suggesting that the court should reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges. The right to same-sex marriage has been protected under the Obergefell decision since 2015.We discuss what's in the bill and whether it has a chance to pass a gridlocked Senate.Want to support 1A?
