The bill codifies same-sex and interracial marriage, doesn't guarantee the right to marry
President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act Tuesday. The legislation codifies same-sex and interracial marriage in federal law but doesn’t guarantee the right to marry. It does mandate individual states recognize same-sex marriages across state lines and ensures same-sex couples are entitled to the same federal benefits as other married couples.
