In a landmark bipartisan vote, the Senate has passed the Respect for Marriage Act, a legislation that protects same-sex and interracial marriage.
The Bill was passed by a final 61-36 vote.
All members of the Democratic caucus and 12 Republican Senators, who backed the revised version of the bill that bypassed a potential filibuster earlier this month, voted in favor.
The legislation must be approved by the House of Representatives so that it will go to the President to sign into law.
