The U. S. Senate passed a bill protecting same-sex and interracial marriages today by a 61-36 vote. The bill now goes to the House, which is expected to approve it and send it to President Biden for his signature.
Twelve Republicans voted for the measure, including retiring Sen. Roy Blunt, R-MO. Missouri's other senator, Josh Hawley, voted against the bill.
Blunt was also one of those who voted earlier against a filibuster that would have prevented a vote on the bill, if it kept the number voting for it below 60.
