The respect for marriage act would change federal law to recognize the right to same sex and interracial marriage and overturn a 1996 law that said states don't have to recognize those marriages if they were performed in other states. NC Senator Thom Tillis was one of the negotiators who helped the bill move forward in the Senate this week by amending it to add protections for religious freedom.
