Longtime LGBTQ+ activist Cyndi Lauper was at the White House for President Biden's signing of the Respect for Marriage Act, a historic codification of same-sex and interracial marriage. Her sweet message:
581 posts categorized "JOE BIDEN"
, the House passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which mostly codifies protections for same-sex and interracial marriages. Now, it's on to President Biden for his signature.
Out gay Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-New York) presided over the bill's debate:
NOW: Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have the honor of presiding over the debate on the Respect for Marriage Act.

The vote for marriage equality is an empowering moment for me as the first Afro-Latino LGBTQ Member of Congress. pic.twitter.com/BaJuOnuiDT
Noteworthy: 169 House Republicans (and 36 Senate Republicans) voted against this.
Watch this ridiculous Missouri woman CRY over equality for others:
