SOUNDBITE: (English) Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.:"Really what the bill does is if you are married in a state where that marriage was legal when entered into, you are going to have your marriage recognized. If you take a vacation to Florida or you, you know, go somewhere else, visit the nation's capital, right? That, that's portability, that legal acts of one state will be recognized by others. And this just specifies that that refers to interracial and same sex marriage."ASSOCIATED PRESSARCHIVE: New Haven, Connecticut – 12 November 20083.

Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.:"I think that people understand how important the rights and responsibilities that are conveyed by a marriage in a marriage license are. And I think increasingly, if you look at the arc of visibility around the LGBTQ community, there's more and more people who know, you know, people who are married to a same sex partner and maybe raising a family with their same sex partner. And you know, in some ways they don't want to do harm. Right? And recognize how important the certainty is for these families. And I think that made a huge difference in our ability to get to a supermajority in the Senate."ASSOCIATED PRESSWashington - 15 November 20228. STILL of Sen.

Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.:"The other thing that came up right away was specific questions from Republicans who might well want to support the bill, but said, 'You know, I've heard that because of the way this was drafted, it could open the door to polygamy.

Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.:"And, you know, as humble as the legislation is, just some people that like that's the first time I've seen the Senate do something that totally matters to me personally. I mean, Wow, right?"STORYLINE:The House gave final approval Thursday to protections for same-sex marriages. The vote sends the legislation to President Joe Biden, a monumental step in a decadeslong battle for nationwide recognition of such unions. The law requires all states to recognize same-sex marriages, a relief for hundreds of thousands of couples who have married since the Supreme Court's 2015 decision legalizing the marriages. The bipartisan legislation would also protect interracial unions by requiring states to recognize legal marriages regardless of "sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin." Senator Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the first openly gay senator, was an integral part of negotiating the Respect for Marriage Act, especially in getting her Republican colleagues on board. But Baldwin also said the shift in societal opinions and efforts by members of the LGBTQ+ community made the legislation possible."I think increasingly, if you look at the arc of visibility around the LGBTQ community, there's more and more people who know, you know, people who are married to a same sex partner and maybe raising a family with their same sex partner," she said.Baldwin also says that the bill is a humble beginning, but knows how momentous the legislation is in itself."You know, as humble as the legislation is, just some people that like, that's the first time I've seen the Senate do something that totally matters to me personally. I mean, Wow, right?"President Joe Biden is expected to sign the measure into law.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
