The libturds and RINOS in congress are working on passing legislation codifying and strengthening the SCOTUS decisions on marriage. Because like most controversial issues in America, they were NEVER voted for or directly supported by the American people, but came from mostly flawed decisions from courts. I think the root cause is lawmakers abdicating their responsibilities by not doing the difficult work of legislating and therefore insulating themselves from being voted out of power. From the website Ace of Spades HQ:
Twelve Senate Republicans voted with Democrats on Wednesday for the far-left “Respect for Marriage Act,” which is reportedly designed to provide federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages.Lawmakers voted for the measure 62-37 after a bipartisan group of senators made changes to the bill to include a clause about religious liberty. With the amendment agreed upon, the bill will go back to the House before going to President Joe Biden. The White House has expressed support for the measure.
The 12 Republicans who voted for the bill include Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Burr (R-NC), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rob Portman (R-OH), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Todd Young (R-IN). . .
. . . The measure passed the House in July with the help of 47 Republicans, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) agreed to postpone a vote until after the midterms so that lawmakers from both sides of the aisle could attempt to address religious liberty concerns. . .
. . . Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the bill “opens the door to American persecution.” He wrote for the Washington Stand:
Not only is this language light years more radical than the justices’ ruling seven years ago — cracking down on parents, charities, adoption agencies, teachers, Christian schools, counselors, and Bible-believing professionals — the government would be declaring open season on anyone who believes in marriage as it’s always been: the union of a man and woman.The advancement of RFMA is yet another instance of Senate Republicans providing the votes needed to pass overreaching Democrat legislation, which includes broad-sweeping bills concerning gun control and infrastructure.
I have never taken issue with interracial marriage except that its not for me and unless it is something other than "one man and one woman." But I and this blog support only true "MARRIAGE" between one consenting non-related man and one consenting non-related woman. Anything else is something else like "gay marriage" "polygamy" "incest" "bestiality" etc. and I WILL CALL IT AS I SEE IT... SJW's can fuck the fuck off. If in the wake of the overturning of Roe v Wade congress finally starts doing their fucking job, its probably not a bad thing. But they should be forewarned, they will be held accountable if they do not properly represent their constituents ideals.
Someday, someone is going to notice that marriage isn't even mentioned in any constitution in the US, not state or federal.

It wasn't the business of the state for a very long time in the US. Not in any state or territory.
But some people of a certain religion objected to marriages between people of a similar, but not quite the same, religion. And they dragged The State into it.
Well, you dragged The State into it... Good job!
Now getting The State out of it will not fix it for you.
Sucks, don't it?
This is a wart of freedom.
People are going to get married you don't approve of.
They're going to get married in ways that you don't approve of too.
And you have to let them if you're doing freedom.
The trick, is getting them to agree to this freedom stuff too. They won't like it any more than you because freedom of association means you can tell them to piss up a rope when the darken the door of your business making demands.
It will probably take 49 years to overturn.
