This week, Congress has the opportunity to defend marriage equality for same-sex and interracial couples by advancing the Respect for Marriage Act. If passed, it will repeal the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, which for many years excluded legally married same-sex couples from accessing federal rights and benefits of marriage. It would also enshrine marriage equality in federal law and require nationwide recognition of all valid marriages without discrimination based on sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.
If you agree that the government should not interfere with individuals' right to marry the person they love, then tell your senators to pass the Respect for Marriage Act.
Passage of the Respect for Marriage Act is critical to defend marriage equality and protect the rights of millions of families and children across the country.
