The final vote was 267-157, with 47 Republicans joining all 220 Democrats in a rare show of bipartisanship. Republicans typically balk at many Democrat-led bills — particularly those pertaining to social issues.
The bill effectively codifies into federal law the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that prohibited same-sex marriage bans nationwide. The legislation would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 bill Democratic former President Bill Clinton signed into law that defined marriage as between one man and one woman. The bill would also require states to recognize same-sex marriages if they were valid in the state they were performed.
I dont think all of that is true
Why should the government be in the marriage business?
UNITED STATES CODE is for slaves and other government servants.

Being against race mixing, for segregation, deportation , separation of races is not enough, morality, right from wrong is not enough, We have to hate and want the full scale global extermination of other races everyplace. every child, man, woman, baby of the aliens must die.
And the only one to support the bill to protect interracial marriages since Thomas made Loving ruling a risk.
Marriage is between a man and a woman. The government providing tax incentives so that the mother can stay home and raise the children is the only government involvement that is required.
vankapro Zero chance in the Senate
Probably because they think power should be returned to the states, not because they're anti-gay. 🙄

Thank you Tony! You did the right thing!
Not a job of the federal government.
Way to go Tony!
Useless but a nice gesture as GOP Republicans RepublicanParty will filibuster it in the SENATE !!!
This is terrible news
Soon Texas Republicans will say whites can only marry whites.
gonzales: if you must vote R, he’s the only one with any sense, apparently. no wonder i saw a smear article on him earlier today,
As long as Sinema and Manchin keep McConnell in power, there's no real uncertainty.
The House … doing important work for the 1%.
We all know Texas is the land of religious extremists - most 'Christian' Texans would outlaw women working and voting if they could
JonesHospodTX For everyone supporting Tony being the *only* R to vote “Yay”— just know he has a fierce and qualified competitor, LiraForCongress who will defeat him and will represent all constituents of TX23. And ya know, not support insurrectionists.
Let's put it all on the line. Put them on record. Let's find out how the GOP hate women, LGBTQ+ people, POC, the poor. Let's make it clear who they are. GopHate GodIsLove thank you to the 1 TX Rep who gets that.
157 UnAmerican Republicans
47 other republicans voted in favor, so Tony Gonzales was extra assholey on this vote.
and interracial marriage. but that's not convenient to look at like gay marriage is.
Our country is going down the sewer, God ordain marriage for a Man and a Woman! What next, people and animals getting married, Sick and digusting!
It should be up to the states to pervert the institution of marriage. Seeing how anyone can be any gender they want, calling it 'same sex' marriage is like wtf?
sadly, no, it is not 'unclear. ..
Shows that the rest of the Texas Republicans do not support same-sex or interracial marriage.
The Senate is not passing it get rid of the filibuster
Good for him. It’s nice to see there is a Republican who believes in equality.
Also a great tight end for the chiefs and falcons.
Make ‘em vote on it
157 HOUSE MEMBERS JUST VOTED TO END OUR INTERRACIAL AND LGBTQ MARRIAGES in AMERICA
The trans chevron doesn't belong on the LGB flag. It's a symbol OF HATE!
It's a shame GregAbbott_TX & tedcruz have all but destroyed a beautiful legacy of individualism & unconditional love & acceptance of diversity a Governor named AnnRichardsProj had left for future Texans. Truly, a great Shame. IMissYouAnnRichards 💔🇺🇸 VoteBlue BetoForTexas
never understood why old “straight” men are so mad gays exist. why u mad all the dick is getting taken away🤣🤣shouldn’t u be happy there more chance for female play since ur so straight
Codify and cover it in man-made laws all you want but true marriage is given by God to keep the bed undefiled. Yours is a mockery of God, mankind, and the tax man.
so this is nothing then. its not codified and wont be.
No abortion but same sex marriage? Makes sense
The federal government has no business being involved in marriage.
