… signed into law by President Joe Biden. It repeals the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), requires the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories (though not tribes) to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States…
It stopped short of requiring any and all states to perform same-sex marriage but it was a definite improvement over existing law. As always I’m sure they held back on a full guarantee of a right to marriage because a handful of “moderate” Democrats refused to support it otherwise. I hope history records Manchin and Sinema as doing measurable harm to our country.
This law had enough Republicans supporting it to bypass anything the rotating villains did. Democrats inserted poison pills in it to get republican support in order to get a good headline.
If they stopped on their own accord, why would they start again because a new law was passed which didn’t restrict them any more than they were previously?
Right now they are required to follow federal law, RFMA would no longer require them to issue licenses if they choose not to. For personal or religious reasons. We will resign back to being second class citizens

Allowing states to deny issuing a license if they didnt want to
You’re claiming it granted them a right they already had, and were already exercising? I don’t think that’s how that works.
In the states that tried to in the beginning stopped shortly afterwards. This law enables them to deny marriages.

Are you implying there is a Republican representative who would vote to codify gay marriage?
The house had them and so did the Senate. But I suppose if you took 2 minutes to look it up you would know this
