From the end of January 2023 on, marriage in Slovenia is no longer exclusively between a man and a woman. It's defined as a union between two people, regardless of gender.

At least 1.2 million households in the USA were headed by a same sex couple in 2021, according to the Census Bureau's American Community survey - more than double the number in 2008. Nearly 60% of those couples were married. @NYT

In today's #WisconsinExaminer, from the #StatesNewsroom DC bureau’s #JenniferShutt: #POTUS signs #MarriageEquality bill that #SenatorBaldwin championed protecting rights of same-sex and interracial couples

@ryanshead That thought occurred to me and to Spousal Unit as well. Imagine a country where a Respect for Marriage Act is necessary because bigots will not relent. Evil runs deep here.

Yes, this was a good day. Let's shore up #Obergefell and #Loving in every way possible anyway. I'm old and have learned not to trust them, even on the good days.

Change happens slowly, and then all of a sudden. #KeepMarching #MarriageEquality

In 2008 I campaigned for Obama here in California while also campaigning against Prop 8, which discriminated against same-sex marriage. Obama won, and Prop 8 passed. It was a bittersweet election night. While the Supreme Court decision in June was a huge victory for #LGBTQ marriage equality, todays law enshrines what should’ve been done long before now. #MarriageEquality #LoveIsLove #Biden

My husband and I thank you, Mr. President! #LGBTQ+ #marriageequality

United States government official
Today, I sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law – a landmark civil rights bill that honors the courage and sacrifice of generations of couples who fought for marriage equality and equal rights.

Today is the date my husband and I celebrate as our anniversary. 34 years ago today, we decided to give this committed relationship thing a try and never looked back. Way back in 1988, neither of us could really imagine a world where we could actually be legally married. Yet we still held on to the hope of maybe one day, and here we are.

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) must stop cherry-picking the Bible otherwise he also needs to admit that he is wearing mixed clothing, telling lies, bearing false witness against his neighbor and about 10 other Leviticus laws he has violated. https://connertmedia.com/rep-bob-good-r-must-be-going-to-hell-also/

Shorter Lamborn: "This bill doesn't do enough to protect the Westboro Baptist Churches among us." Probably. https://bit.ly/3VLY7HQ #MarriageEquality

Very pleased to see the #RespectForMarriageAct pass, but states need to get off their asses and repeal their homophobic policies now. #MarriageEquality #LGBTQ #HumanRights #Queer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_law_in_the_United_States_by_state?wprov=sfti1

@democracydocket Proud mom of a Gen-Z voter! The kid voted for the first time on his 18th birthday and hasn't missed one since. His long-time love is right there beside him.

Here's hoping for their future!

The bill to protect same-sex and interracial marriage has passed! #LGBTQ #SameLove #Interracial #MarriageEquality

I’m glad that the #MarriageEquality bill passed I’m just not sure I 100% trust it. Yes, I read it but… some of the endorsements raised the hair on the back of my neck.

Love wins in the Senate. I don’t expect the bigots to give up. But this #MarriageEquality bill passing is a huge step forward toward ending at least one battle of the needless culture wars.
