TRANSCRIPT: Majority Leader Schumer Remarks At The White House Signing Ceremony For The Respect For Marriage Act
12/08/2022
Tweet - "We passed the Respect for Marriage Act in the Senate. It passed the House today. And now it's on its way to @POTUS to become law. No matter who you are or who you love, you deserve dignity and equal treatment under the law."
11/29/2022
Tweet - "The Respect for Marriage Act is deeply personal for so many of us. My daughter and her wife are expecting a baby next spring. This bill would ensure their rights--and the rights of millions of LGBTQ+ Americans--won't be trampled upon simply because they're in a same-sex marriage."
11/14/2022
Tweet - "With the Respect for Marriage Act: I just took steps on the Senate floor to set up a first procedural vote for Wednesday on legislation to codify marriage equality into law. No American should ever be discriminated against because of who they love."
09/14/2022
Tweet - "Justice Thomas has been very clear that the Supreme Court decision protecting marriage equality should be reconsidered. We have a responsibility to act, and this Senate will vote on protecting marriage equality."
09/12/2022
Tweet - "Justice Thomas has opened the door to this MAGA Supreme Court going even further saying that cases like Obergefell--which protects marriage equality for now--should be revisited. We have a responsibility to act. This Senate will vote on protecting marriage equality."
09/08/2022
Tweet - "While MAGA Republicans escalate their rhetoric against marriage equality, we've heard Senate Republicans suggest that a vote isn't necessary. With the threat from the MAGA Supreme Court, we have a responsibility to act. This Senate will vote on the Respect For Marriage Act."
07/21/2022
Tweet - "Fox News has taken no action to address Tucker Carlson's conduct. They're giving him a free pass to amplify racist lies, the same racist lies that motivated a white supremacist to kill ten Black Americans in Buffalo. It is dangerous and un-American."
07/20/2022
Tweet - "Tucker Carlson began his Fox News show last night with another appalling rant on the racist lie of replacement theory. This same lie motivated a white supremacist to gun down ten Black Americans in Buffalo. Carlson is stoking racial resentment. It is deranged. It is dangerous."
