A bill designed to protect same-sex and interracial marriage passed the Senate by a 61-36 margin Tuesday night, with 12 Republican senators joining Democrats in voting for the bill.The bill, entitled the "Respect for Marriage Act," was first passed by the Democratic-controlled House in July amid concerns that the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in June might put marriage equality at risk as well.In a concurring opinion to the court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which ended 50 years of a constitutional right to an abortion, conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the precedent underpinning same-sex marriage — which was legalized by the Court in the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling — should be "reconsidered" as well.That section of the state constitution states that the laws of Wyoming "affecting the political rights and privileges of its citizens shall be without distinction of race, color, sex, or any circumstance or condition whatsoever other than individual incompetency, or unworthiness duly ascertained by a court of competent jurisdiction."Here are the Republican senators who voted to pass the bill:- Susan Collins of Maine- Rob Portman of Ohio- Thom Tillis of North Carolina- Mitt Romney of Utah- Lisa Murkowski of Alaska- Roy Blunt of Missouri- Richard Burr of North Carolina- Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia- Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming- Dan Sullivan of Alaska- Todd Young of Indiana- Joni Ernst of Iowa"
