After decades of inaction and months or back-and-forths between the House and Senate, lawmakers finally sent a bill to the president’s desk on Thursday that would, for the first time ever, codify national same-sex marriage rights into law.
Before this summer, same-sex marriage wasn’t really on Conrgess’ radar. But after the Supreme Court overturnedin a decision that sent shockwaves across the nation, things changed. Many pointed out how Justice Clarence Thomas seemed to be targeting other rights, like gay marriage, in his. With Democrats unable to cobble together the numbers to codify abortion rights, they moved on to protecting same-sex marriage. And they were met with some surprising levels of support—at least at first.
Led by Sen. Tammy Baldwin , who is gay, Senate Democrats struggled to assure 10 Senate Republicans would join them in supporting the proposal and averting a filibuster. Some early supporters emerged, like Sen. Rob Portman , whose son is gay. But others hemmed and hawed, voicing concerns about religious liberties and protections they felt weren’t concrete in the bill text. Some senators swore they wouldn’t unveil their position until Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer put it to a vote.
Not quite. This isn't a victory. It's the Dems, once again, caving to centrists instead of fighting for their base. Sure they might lose, but if they don't fight, they won't be re-elected to even try again. So there is that.
Now Codify Roe and Draft Liz Cheney to be elected Speaker with those same 30 Republicans plus the Dems. controlTheHouse
That’s NWO, it’s being pushed forward right in front of our eyes.

Waited until after the election so they could use it as a wedge issue. Everything is political.
So, how many mosques will be losing their tax-exempt status for opposing same sex marriages?
