The U.S. Senate has voted in favor of a bill that guarantees same-sex marriage rights at the federal level.
It is expected that the bill will be passed soon in the House of Representatives, and the bill will be enacted after the signature of President Biden.
On the 29th, the United States Senate voted on a bill that guarantees the right of same-sex marriage and interracial marriage at the federal level, and passed with a majority of 61 in favor and 36 against.
In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all states.
However, in June this year, the federal Supreme Court, where a majority of conservative judges ruled, overturned a 50-year-old ruling that induced abortion was a constitutionally recognized right of women. It was also pointed out that the judgment so far could be overturned on same-sex marriage.
The ruling party, the Democratic Party, which submitted the bill, hastened to enact the law at the federal level and took the initiative.
The bill would require all states to recognize same-sex couple rights recognized in other states, and if the Supreme Court overturns the ruling and bans same-sex marriage in some states. Even if it does, the rights of couples moving from other states will be preserved.
The bill is expected to be voted on and passed by the House of Representatives soon.
In a statement released on the 29th, President Biden said, ``American citizens have the right to marry their loved ones,'' and indicated that he would sign and enact it immediately after the House passed it.
