President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan Marriage Respect Act

President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan Marriage Respect Act on Tuesday, codifying legal protections for same-sex and interracial couples. The bill passed with bipartisan support in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Biden's views, like many Americans, shifted towards supporting same-sex marriage throughout his life. Earlier, during his long tenure in the Senate, Biden voted for a bill that would limit the advancement of LGBTQ rights.

The Marriage Respect Act does not guarantee the right to marry. It specifies that states must recognize same-sex marriages across state lines and that same-sex couples have the same federal benefits as any married couple.
