Same-sex marriage legislation clears key Senate hurdle

[NYPOST] The US on Wednesday is one step closer to codifying the right to same-sex and interracial marriage after the Senate voted to advance a bill that would protect such unions should the Supreme Court overturn its prior decisions that made them law.

By a 62-37 vote, senators decided to end debate on the "Respect for Marriage Act" Wednesday afternoon, moving the bill toward final approval with the support of 12 Republicans and all Democrats.

The 12 included Sen. Roy Blunt
...A Missouri political oligarch. As a member of Congress he was reelected six times without significant opposition. He married Roseann Ray in May 1967 and had three children with her: Matt (the former Governor of Missouri), Amy Blunt Mosby and Andrew Blunt, both lawyers and lobbyists. Blunt and Ray divorced after 35 years of marriage. Afterward, he married Abigail Perlman, a lobbyist for Kraft Foods. In April 2006, he and his wife adopted an 18-month old boy from Russia, whom they renamed Alexander Charles Charlie Blunt. He will be either a politician or a lobbyist or both when he grows up. (R-Mo.); Sens. Richard Burr and Thom Tillis(R-N.C.); Sen. Shelley Capito (R-WV); Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine); Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa); Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY); Sens.

...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...

#1 Looks like the Dems are pushing this legislation at the expense of freedom of religion. The legislation would require churchs to provide services if requested.

#3 Courts don’t make law. Churches are Constitutionally protected from laws that interfere with them. That includes churches that I disagree with.

#4 How can you tell their sex?
I think this will break the legislation.
