Rep. Mace Votes for the Respect for Marriage Act

On Thursday, the United States House of Representatives passed the Respect for Marriage Act.  Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-01), who was one of two South Carolina Republicans (Rep. Tom Rice was the other) to vote for the bill that would protect both same-sex and interracial marriages, released the following statement:

“Today’s vote to protect marriage and protect religious liberties marks the end of a long fight for the basic civil right for any two people to marry without discrimination. The right to marry whoever you love regardless of the color of your skin or orientation shouldn’t be controversial. Our nation was built on the notion of individual liberty. This vote marks another step forward in the American people’s constant fight for freedom.”
