WASHINGTON — House Democrats passed legislation Tuesday to strengthen same-sex marriage rights as Republicans emboldened by comments from Supreme Court...
The bill offers protections for same-sex and interracial marriages and is considered a longshot in the Senate.
The legislation would also repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman.House Democrats addressed Thomas’ concurring opinion during debate on the bill on Tuesday, and used it to demonstrate the need to codify the rights to same-sex and interracial marriages.
No other justices joined Thomas in his opinion, and Justice Samuel Alito explicitly wrote the decision only related to abortion.
