The Respect for Marriage Act Does Legalize Marriage in All Fifty States

The act makes it illegal in all 50 states to nullify marriage lawful in the state where it was made. So if a resident temporarily leaves his or her state to marry in a different state where gay marriage is lawful that marriage cannot be deemed unlawful in that person's home state.

I should ban you, Earl, given your reliable incorrectness but I won't. The law does what the opening post says it does, and in this way all marriages in the U.S. are protected if lawful in the states where they occur.

From the link:

Today, the Respect for Marriage Act got one step closer to becoming one of very few federal laws expressly protecting LGBTQ Americans. It's expected to be signed into law by President Biden soon.

But even when it is signed, the legality of same-sex marriage will still rest on the the 2015 Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which found that same-sex marriage is constitutionally protected.

If the Court were to overturn Obergefell, the legality of same-sex marriages would revert to state law — and the majority of states would prohibit it. The Respect for Marriage Act wouldn't change that, but it requires all states to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and federally recognizes these marriages.

Why you insecure Righties are so upset by this is your problem.

Your gay marriage is not legal in all states.


Obergefell will be revisited by a 6-3 S.C.

Poor Marty.

The act does what I said it does. It prevents states from legally disrespecting marriages that take place in other states. Postmodernprofit made this point in his comment in that law's other thread; you "liked" it, dimwit.
