Biden to sign same-sex marriage bill despite concerns by some progressives
Fox News
President Biden will sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law Tuesday, which will require the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal.
Supporters of the bill have hailed it as a safety net in the event the Supreme Court reverses a ruling that says the Constitution guarantees the right of same-sex couples to get married, but some progressive Democrats say the bill doesn't go far enough and that the religious liberty protections are too limiting to the law.

Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart, who married his husband in 2017, said in a column that he supports the bill but admitted that the more closely he looks at it "the more my joy diminishes."
