President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law on Tuesday, mandating federal recognition for same-sex and interracial marriages

The landmark legislation, passed by a bipartisan coalition in Congress, officially erases the Defense of Marriage Act, which a quarter of a century ago formally defined marriage as between a man and a woman. The new law prohibits states from denying the validity of out-of-state marriages based on sex, race or ethnicity. WM
