This afternoon, President Joe Biden is slated to sign the Respect for Marriage Act into law, granting federal protections to same-sex and interracial couples, and marking a milestone in the decades-long fight for marriage equality.
Thousands are expected to attend the 3:30 p.m. South Lawn signing ceremony, which will also include musical guests and performances in “a celebrated event,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday.
"The Respect for Marriage Act … will give peace of mind to millions of LGBTQ+ and interracial couples who will finally be guaranteed the rights and protections to which they and their children are entitled," Jean-Pierre said. "The legislation also enjoys support from a majority of Americans across party lines and faith."
