Don Lemon and fiancé react to Biden signing same-sex marriage into law
When was interracial marriage a thing for couples. I’m pretty sure interracial marriage has been around for decades.? I don’t get it.
It was protected by Supreme Court decision, like several other civil rights, but this Court overturned Roe v Wade, and justices and Republicans have been talking about overturning other civil rights decisions. If laws aren’t passed, they could all be rolled back.
@akinpaws You would have to be a moron to think they would roll back interracial marriage. It is political grandstanding that didn’t mean anything. Roe Wade didn’t end abortion. It gave it back to the states. Everyone in America that wants an abortion, can get one. I can’t stand dumb people.
Loving vs Virginia in 1967 made it legal by unanimous Supreme Court ruling, but this is law now.
@C B Crawford what is law?
@MadLadNate There is *case law* and there’s *statute law* . Interracial marriage was made legal nationwide as *case law* in the Supreme Court decision in _Loving v. Virginia_ in 1967. This case law is the only thing that protects interracial marriage. The executive branch and the legislative branch do not have the power to overturn a Supreme Court decision, but a future Supreme Court does have the power to overturn a previous decision as was demonstrated with the overturning of _Roe v. Wade_ . _Obergefell v. Hodges_ is also *case law* that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. The Respect for Marriage Act is the *statute law* that repeals the Defense of Marriage Act and codifies same-sex marriage and interracial marriage as *statute law* . Therefore, same-sex marriage and interracial marriage are doubly protected by *case law* and *statute law* .
Now everyone can experience the emotional and monetary joys of divorce!
Not to mention a huge rise in domestic abuse cases.
@sal ortiz Indeed! I think 90%+ of all domestic abuse happens between lesbian couples, according to DoJ last time I saw
And you hate that don’t you? Must be a racist homophobic Republican 🌈🇺🇲🌈🇺🇲🌈🇺🇲
@loganbaileysfunwithtrains does that keep you up at night? Do you think judges are not capable of being unbiased in a divorce? Simpletons are all over the comments tonight.🌈🇺🇲🌈🇺🇲

There are so many religious people in the US who still have very conservative views of gay marriage, I can appreciate that there’s opposition by these people. I don’t agree with these people on any level but I recognize that these people exist. But people want to legislate against interracial marriages as well? Are you kidding me? As a Canadian, I just don’t get it. Americans talk all of the time about freedom, please spare us unless you actually want to strive for freedom for all. How about you focus on things that are really destroying your society like gang members and mass shootings.
Joetato Biden said “ come on man, marriage is between a man and a women. Also “ my gut reaction is that homosexuals are a security risk” hmmmmm……what this puppet wouldn’t do for political gain.
Democrats don’t care about gang shootings or the fentanyl problem. They care about pronouns and wokeism.
Most of us are. The noisy hot mess that is the christian right just gets better pr
No one is legislating against interacial marriage. This is what the bill was meant to accomplish…to make people think Republicans are against interacial marriage. This whole thing was absurdly unnecessary and a profoundly redundant waste of time.
How sick and twisted do you have to be to hold abortion equal to interracial marriage?
Strange too; Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman and Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chao.
WAIT I Thought Obama Did This Already ??
One thing for sure. He did marry a man name Michael Robinson
Obama never legalized interacial marriage…he is adamantly opposed to the idea.
…he also never freed the slaves.
And the Supreme Court ruled in favor of it years ago. I guess Joe Biden made it double law. ?? What a sham
After Roe was egregiously overturned, the President promised that, if we retained control of the Senate and added a few more seats, he’d sign the bill to protect marriage equality.
No, President Obama did not make same-sex marriage legal nationwide in 2015. There is *case law* and there’s *statute law* . _Obergefell v. Hodges_ is the *case law* that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. The executive branch and the legislative branch do not have the power to overturn a Supreme Court decision, but a future Supreme Court does have the power to overturn a previous decision as was demonstrated with the overturning of _Roe v. Wade_ . The Respect for Marriage Act is the *statute law* that repeals the Defense of Marriage Act and codifies same-sex marriage as *statute law* . Therefore, same-sex marriage is doubly protected by *case law* and *statute law* .
Gay people have the right to be as equally unhappy as all of us straight married people 🤣🤣🤣
They should pass a law that same sex divorce is illegal, see how bad they want it then lol.
@Skeeter Hill 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
sadly, this legislation will do NOTHING for don lemon’s pathetic ratings.
I’m a avid watcher of the news and I didn’t even know that Don Lemon was in the same sex relationship… Crazy how little that matters though yet how much it does matter
I always knew he was a punk. Talks trash about white people being the worst of Americas threats yet he lets one play in his bungalow every night. 🤢
Every other person on CNN and in the liberal media is.
*an avid *a same-sex relationship
@D B *, etc.
@Alpha Nerd *because of all the homophobic trolls in his video comments
I like Dolly Partons answer on whether she is in favor of gay marriage and she said heck yeah why shouldn’t they have to suffer like the rest of us
@C V 💯 These people love to say “God Loves you” but not when you’re in the LGBTQ group?? What kind of screwed logic is that?🤣
@Hillbilly Vibe if there is a god and if there is hell, I bet my soul that you are not going to heaven.
Dolly has some Mae West qualities, doesn’t she?
@Hillbilly Viberight on from Ex-lgbtq Ex-fornicator etc thanks for saying it,…
Hahaha, I decline.
America must have run out of closet space.
As a side note I thought it was weird Harris mentioned interracial marriage and birth control in her words. I mean what did that have to with today? Both have been legal for over 50 years.
@A Z There is *case law* and there’s *statute law* . Interracial marriage was made legal nationwide as *case law* in the Supreme Court decision in _Loving v. Virginia_ in 1967.

It’s weird we have a VP who couldn’t even buy a vote.
@RaymondHng but the fact is NO ONE has ever mentioned changing that law which never should have been needed in the first place as it would be insane to change it. Talking about it in relation to this was just really strange to me. And birth control – like seriously why?
@Prince and friends well that doesn’t make sense to me since they are no brain ears, that’s all. People talk like this is the same thing, it’s not.
@A Z in the supreme court opinion Alito put them all as the same thing. Perhaps go back and read that.
Sad day for USA. Same sex marriage may be legal but I utterly refuse to acknowledge it no matter what. Hopefully the Supreme Court will ban it. Marriage will always and only be between man and woman!
Sorry you have such a rigid and cruel mindset. Hope you feel more kind-hearted soon!
There is *case law* and there’s *statute law* . _Obergefell v. Hodges_ is the 2015 *case law* that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide.

His fiance😂🤣
It’s a peculiar thing to *fight for government involvement in your personal life* under the guise of equality, no? 🤔
What of the equality of those who *don’t* want the government involved in their personal lives?
All I see are fools with no perspective. You were so concerned with having what others had you didn’t even ask if it was desirable to have it in the first place. 🙃
Wasn’t this already legal, and was interracial marriages ever illegal? I’m so confused about this

He just has this wonderful intense charisma.. he’s the reason I know what CNN is (being a dane).
It’s fun to see Wolf Blitzer express the full range of human emotion – tonight we got “ecstatic” 😐 😄 😉
I can’t believe this Don of all people
Joe looked genuinely happy!
Everyone becomes a minority at some point in their lives…… EVERYONE!
So if you think you’re on “high ground”, for some reason….. think again!
