@gaytimes In a massive step for LGBTQ+ rights, the US House of Representatives has voted in favour of codifying same-sex marriage.⁠ ⁠ The inclusive bill, which passed with a 267 to 157 vote, would effectively codify same-sex marriage and grant same-sex couples an array of federal protections. ⁠ ⁠ The legislation would also formally repeal the Defense of Marriage Act – which deemed marriage as a union between a man and a woman back in 1996.⁠ ⁠ The move comes in response to the US Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade, as alongside this decision Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the Supreme Court should “reconsider” various landmark decisions such as the right to contraception, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage.⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in bio for the full story.⁠ ⁠ 📝 @jordyyy.02⁠ 📸 Ted Eytan
