13 dic 2022 anni - Respect for Marriage Act Signed

Descrizione:

On the afternoon of Dec. 13, 2022, in the presence of thousands of advocates and community members, President Joseph Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, which had been passed by Congress thanks to the efforts of many advocates around the country. The law codifies in federal statutory law the right to marry free from discrimination based on sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and national origin. This right was established in the landmark Supreme Court decisions of Loving v. Virginia, which struck down state laws criminalizing inter-racial marriages, and Obergefell v. Hodges and United States v. Windsor, which invalidated state laws and a federal statute that prohibited same-sex marriages.
