The House will vote on legislation protecting marriage equality after Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court should 'reconsider' gay marriage decision

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Last year, a Gallup poll found for the first time that a majority of Republicans support same-sex marriage, while 70% of Americans overall support it.
51% : A group of largely Democratic lawmakers introduced legislation in both the House and Senate on Monday called the "Respect of Marriage Act," which would codify Obergefell into law, protecting same-sex and interracial marriage.
37% : The Respect of Marriage Act would also repeal the "Defense of Marriage Act," which prevented same-sex married couples from receiving marital benefits in states that did not recognize same-sex marriages and was ruled unconstitutional in the Obergefell decision.
22% : Like abortion, same-sex marriage has long been a deeply partisan issue.
