The “Respect for Marriage Act,” which just passed the House earlier this week, seeks to defend gay marriage by banning states from passing laws that protect traditional marriage. It now goes to the Senate where it will need Republican support if it is to become law. But as the Blaze is reporting it already has some Republican support, including the senator from North Carolina, Thom Tillis:
It remains unclear how many Senate Republicans would vote for the Respect for Marriage Act, but it appears at least two will. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is a co-sponsor of the Senate version and will vote for it. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) also told CNN reporter Manu Raju he “probably will” vote for the measure when Democrats bring it forward.
