The Respect for Marriage Act is an ironically-named, anti-family and unconstitutional act that would allow the United States Congress to further undermine traditional marriage (which had already been affected by the illegal Obergefell v. Hodges ruling of 2015 by the then-liberal dominated United States Supreme Court) by codifying same-sex "marriage" as "settled law" federally. The Democrat-majority House of Representatives voted for this act on July 19, 2022. All of the Democrats voted Yes for this act along with 47 Republicans. Surprisingly, Scott Perry and Kat Cammack voted for this act.[1]

Despite its name, the Respect for Marriage Act shows no respect for traditional marriage whatsoever by attempting to further give homosexuals special "rights" in attempting to make same-sex "marriage" "legal", even though there is no "right" to same-sex "marriage" to be found anywhere in the Constitution, a fact conveniently ignored by liberals who support the Act and the Obergefell decision.
This law insures that same-sex marriages are recognized at the federal level, as long as the marriage ceremony occurs in a jurisdiction where same-sex marriages were legal at the time it was performed. It aims to protect the rights and benefits of these marriages across all states and US territories;[2] in the event Obergefell v. Hodges is overturned. See Also Marriage Legal Limitations
