The US House of Representatives has passed a landmark bill that would enshrine federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriage.

It will now head to the desk of President Joe Biden, who has previously shown his support for the legislation and said he looks forward to signing it into law. “Today, we stand up to the values the vast majority of Americans hold dear – a belief in the dignity, beauty and divinity in every person in abiding respect for love so powerful that it binds two people together,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on 8 December.

The Respect for Marriage Act passed the Democratic-led House by a vote of 258-169-1. It was supported by all Democrats and 39 Republicans.
