The House on Thursday approved legislation that provides federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, sending the landmark bill to President Biden's desk for his signature and capping a decades-long shift in Americans' attitudes toward gay marriage.Called the Respect for Marriage Act, the measure won bipartisan support in the Democratic-led House, after the lower chamber
The measure is likely to be one of the last significant legislative accomplishments from the Democratic House, and one of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's final acts as speaker, before the party turns over control of the lower chamber to Republicans with the start of the new Congress in January.
