(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 29 - The US Senate has approved a bipartisan law to protect same-sex and interracial marriages at the federal level.

Now the provision goes to the House, which should approve it by the end of the year: perhaps as early as next week.


   While the law passed by the Senate does not establish a national obligation to legalize same-sex marriage, it does require gay marriage to be recognized by one state to another.

So if the Supreme Court were to overturn the 2015 Obergefell vs. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, a state could still pass legislation to ban it but would be required to recognize marriage in another state where it is legal.

The law was strongly supported by the Biden administration after the shocking decision of the American Supreme Court last June to overturn the 'Roe vs Wade' sentence which guaranteed the right to abortion.
