(Worthy News) – The Senate on Wednesday voted to advance a bipartisan bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriages and enshrine a number of religious liberty protections in federal statute.
The Senate voted 62-37 on Wednesday to advance the plan, seemingly suggesting it has enough support to secure passage in a final vote, CNN reported. The bill does not require individual states to legalize same-sex marriage; it rather dictates that they recognize marraiges deemed legitimate in other states.
The final vote will likely not take place until after the Thanksgiving recess, following which it must again secure passage in the House of Representatives due to the changes made from the version the lower chamber initially passed. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
