In a vote Tuesday of 61 to 36, the US Senate advanced lesbian and gay legislation that would codify same-sex marriage protection into law, while most GOP lawmakers argue the language of the bill infringes on religious freedom. So now we can expect the LGBTQ+1/JTL~FRT community to demand religious devotees bake their wedding cakes and do what they demand in general.
Like the patterning behavior of birds, Senate Democrats unanimously followed the leader in support of the bill, but there was also help by some so-called Republicans. The Left is very good at naming their bills with the exact opposite meaning of what they actually are. For example, this bill is called the Respect for Marriage Act and is exactly the opposite of that title. It would be more accurate to call it the Disrespect of the Judea-Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Traditionalist's Act. But again, when you can call an act that supports killing the unborn "A Woman's Right to Choose," leaving out the little thing [literally] that she is choosing to do that is not her right, then it shouldn't surprise anyone that this bill is named Respect for Marriage Act. It's total disrespect for marriage.
And this bill repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, which is between one man and one woman.
Fortunately, this bill doesn't force states to allow for dudes to marry dudes, women to marry women, under the Obergefell v. Hodges decision. But it would however, make it so that any “person acting under color of State law” fully recognizes marriage between two people in another state and that the federal government must recognize marriages if they were valid in the state where the marriage occurred, basically nullifying the concept of states' rights.
“I hope we can get it done with all due speed because millions of Americans deserve equal justice under the law and the peace of mind knowing their right to marry the person they love is protected,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) said Monday. Schumer is hoping once the bill gets through, he can live out his dream of marrying Adam Schiff and spend his twilight years with the man he loves.
Schumer and congressional Democrats moved the bill quickly allegedly out of fear that the Supreme Court would take up the landmark 2015 ruling that legalized marriage nationwide after overturning Roe v. Wade last summer.
Since the bill first worked through the halls of Congress, Senate Democrats worked to garner ten GOP votes — enough to clear the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Oklahoma Republican Senator James Langford, who proposed an amendment addressing religious liberty concerns in his deep melodic voice, warned that the language fails to place any restrictions which would cause entities such as nonprofits or faith-based organizations to choose not to provide those services or to “abandon their faith,” to which Chuck Schumer responded with, 'Faith schmaith. Let's get it done," as he raised his fist and punched at the sky, feigning a punch in the balls to 'someone up there.'
“I encourage everyone in this body to ask a very simple question to themselves: is today about respecting the rights of all?” Langford said on the Senate floor. “Or is it about silencing some?”
[Fun Fact: It's about silencing some. Can you guess who?]
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) called for protections for those with religious beliefs or simply normal moral conviction that marriage is between a man and a woman. He introduced an amendment prohibiting federal bureaucrats from discriminating against individuals, organizations, and other religious entities by stripping away tax-exempt status, licenses, contracts, or other benefits, because he knows how the left thinks.

The amendments proposed by Langford, Lee, or Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) passed as religious freedom in America is slowly becoming unacceptable.
