Marriage Equality: The nation's path to same-sex marriage.

The article states that the Respect for Marriage Act, which US President Joe Biden signed into law, ensures federal protections for same-sex and multiracial marriages, guaranteeing that same-sex couples are protected regardless of where they live in the country. It mentions that the Act repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as a union of a man and a woman, and the law was mired in discussions over religious liberty, privacy, and the merits of marital equality.
