Biden set to sign bill enshrining same-sex marriage in law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : President Biden now has on his desk a bill that would codify same-sex marriage in federal law and, according to opponents, provide legal grounds to prosecute or remove privileges and rights from individuals and institutions that hold to marriage as a lifelong conjugal union between one man and one woman.
48% :The legislation repeals the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act with the aim of protecting same-sex and interracial marriage by requiring the recognition of valid marriages regardless of "sex, race, ethnicity or national origin."
44% : The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and the National Association of Evangelicals have backed the bill, while the Heritage Foundation, the Alliance Defending Freedom and First Liberty have contended the protections for religious liberty are inadequate.
43% : The Baldwin-Collins amendment states that the legislation may not be used to "diminish or abrogate a religious liberty or conscience protection otherwise available to an individual or organization under the Constitution of the United States or Federal law."
42% : "Unless they embrace the demands of same-sex marriage anti-discrimination requirements hook, line, and sinker, then they will be subject to the same concerns regarding tax exemption and licensure."
38% : Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, "defunding the police," devaluing America's currency and destroying her sovereignty.
36% : Opponents contend the bill's stated protections for religious liberty are meaningless.
27% : In an op-ed, Lee argued that without his amendment, the Respect for Marriage Act "would only exacerbate and nationalize the discriminatory policies already in place in Illinois, Massachusetts, California and the District of Columbia, where religious adoption agencies are essentially shut down unless they recognize same-sex marriage."
25% : "If these groups think that their places of worship and nonprofits will be exempt from anti-discrimination lawsuits and attacks on religious liberty, they are sorely mistaken," Waters continued.
16% : But opponents contend the amendment negotiated by Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has no real power to protect religious liberty.
