About 568,000 married same-sex couples live in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau.
WASHINGTON DC, USA – The US House of Representatives on Thursday, December 8, gave final congressional approval to legislation that provides federal recognition of, a measure born out of concern that the Supreme Court could reverse its support for legal recognition of such relationships.
It is narrowly written to act as a limited backstop for the 2015 Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, known as Obergefell v. Hodges. It would allow the federal government and states to recognize same-sex and interracial marriages as long as they were legal in the states where they were performed. It makes concessions for religious groups and institutions that do not support such marriages.
In a speech on the House floor ahead of the vote, Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned the “hateful movement” behind attacks on LGBT rights in the United States. When the Senate passed it by a vote of 61-36, 12 Republicans joined 49 Democrats in supporting it. Most Senate Republicans voted against it.
