The legislative bill H.R.8404 - Respect for Marriage Act, introduced by Democrat Representative Jerrold Nadler, is anything but respectful to marriage.
This bill repeals and replaces provisions that do not require states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states with provisions that prohibit the denial of full faith and credit or any right or claim relating to out-of-state marriages on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin. In other words, a state that doesn't recognize same-sex marriages would be forced to accept them.
