The US Senate voted Tuesday, November 29, 61 votes against 36, a law protecting same-sex marriage throughout the United States, for fear of a reversal of the Supreme Court in the matter.

“Love is love and Americans should be able to marry the person they love

,” US President Joe Biden said in a statement.

The House of Representatives, which had already approved a very similar text in July, still has to vote again on this amended law, which should only be a formality.

Joe Biden will then have to sign the text.

Same-sex unions have been guaranteed by the U.S. Supreme Court since 2015. But after the high court's historic flip-flop on abortion, many progressives fear that right may also be unraveled.

In concrete terms, the law repeals previous legislation defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman and prohibits civil registrars - regardless of the State in which they work - from discriminating against couples

"on the basis of their sex , race, ethnicity or origin”

.

This text also applies to interracial couples.
