Rumor has it that Democrats want to attach a House-passed same-sex marriage bill to the CR. The ironically named Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) repeals the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which recognized marriage as between one man and one woman.

The inaptly-named Respect for Marriage Act seeks to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 (DOMA) and codify the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) to legalize same-sex marriage. Such a troublesome policy pronouncement by Congress in favor of same-sex marriage would not only legislate a harmful, anti-family policy but also would unleash further religious freedom violations, threaten the tax-exempt status of religious entities, and wrongly marginalize social conservatives.

Since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade, Democrats have been in a tizzy. Not only have they tried to codify Roe into law, but they are also fearmongering about other issues such as same-sex marriage and access to contraception.

Unbeknownst to most Americans, the House left Washington last week after passing a piece of legislation that greatly impacts not only our tax code, but also our culture.

FYI, today the Virginia Senate Rules Committee voted against ratifying the (non-existing) ERA. If you can believe it, a crowd of Leftists basically took over the Committee singing “We Shall Overcome” and being extremely loud and obnoxious, making threats about the defeat being on national news, and any legislator who votes against will be replaced. What a circus! (I was watching the committee hearing on streaming video). The vote was not recorded but they did show hands and it was a strictly party vote. Thank God!
