President Joe Biden signed historic legislation Tuesday protecting same-sex marriages nationally, marking a major milestone in the fight for gay rights that follows a seismic change in the nation's attitudes.
"Today is a good day," Biden said ahead of signing the bill. "Today, America takes a vital step toward equality, toward liberty and justice, not just for some, but for everyone. Toward creating a nation where decency, dignity, and love are recognized, honored and protected."
At a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House, Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, making it the law that all states recognize same-sex and interracial marriages. Democratic and Republican lawmakers, LGBTQ advocates and plaintiffs in marriage equality cases were among the thousands in attendance.

The day of judgement awaits you all.
Sad, ppl pursuing happiness in iniquity don’t seem to realize the unseen God suffers them only so long before He visits with heart wrenching adversities for this behavior. Trusting in mankind’s legislation for protection is no safe guard seeing ppl are choosing to live in hostilities towards God. Ppl need to repent & come to Christ before it’s too late.
New administration will bring changes and reversal…….
Yes!!
They worry about the wrong thing, they should worry about why everything going up🤦🏾♂️ that’s why the world coming to end slowly by slowly 🤦🏾♂️🙏🏾✝️🛐
