The legislative process to protect interracial and same-sex marriages moved forward in the US Senate on Wednesday, putting this legislation on track to become federal law.
Democrats had the votes of 12 Republicans and the final vote could take place later this week or at the end of the month.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the proposal, by ensuring unions are legally recognized, is an opportunity for the Senate to “live up to its lofty ideals” and protect marriage equality for all women. people.
The new law will “make the country (the US) a better and fairer place to live,” Schumer said, adding that his own daughter and his wife are expecting a baby next year.
