Full List Of Republicans Who Voted In Support Of Same Sex Marriage

The bill, which passed by a vote of 258-169-1 Thursday, will recognize legal same-sex marriages across the country.

Democrats pushed for this bill to pass before they lose control of the House amid fear that the landmark 2015 Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized gay marriage, could be overturned following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Back in July, the House first voted to approve the bill 267-157. Every Democrat and 47 Republicans voted in favor of the legislation.

Today, only 39 Republicans voted in support of the RFMA.

Among them include Representatives:

Kelly Armstrong of North DakotaDon Bacon of NebraskaKen Calvert of CaliforniaKat Cammack of FloridaMike Carey of OhioLiz Cheney of WyomingJohn Curtis of UtahRodney Davis of IllinoisTom Emmer of MinnesotaBrian Fitzpatrick of PennsylvaniaMike Gallagher of WisconsinAndrew Garbarino of New YorkMike Garcia of CaliforniaCarlos Gimenez of FloridaTony Gonzales of TexasAnthony Gonzalez of OhioJamie Herrera Beutler of WashingtonAshley Hinson of IowaDarrell Issa of CaliforniaChris Jacobs of New YorkDavid Joyce of OhioJohn Katko of New YorkNancy Mace of South CarolinaNicole Malliotakis of New YorkPeter Meijer of MichiganMariannette Miller-Meeks of IowaBlake Moore of UtahDan Newhouse WashingtonJay Obernolte of CaliforniaTom Rice of South CarolinaMike Simpson of IdahoElise Stefanik of New YorkBryan Steil of WisconsinChris Stewart of UtahMike Turner of OhioFred Upton of MichiganDavid Valadao of CaliforniaAnn Wagner of MissouriMichael Waltz of Florida

In a statement, Representative Stewart said he voted again in support of the bill to expand “current religious freedoms and LGBTQ civil rights.”

“I proudly voted in July to codify these all-important protections,” he said. “And today I was proud to once again vote in favor of protecting our LGBTQ and religious friends and neighbors. As a man of faith and a conservative, ensuring the religious liberties of people in Utah is absolutely essential.”

Two Representatives, Gallagher and Herrera Beutler, flipped from a “nay” vote in July to a “yea” vote today.

Seven Republicans flipped from a “yea” vote to a “nay” vote. Those include Representatives Cliff Bentz of Oregon, Brian Mast of Florida, Dan Meuser of Pennslyvania, Maria Salazar of Florida, Scott Perry of Penn and Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey.

Representative Burgess Owens of Utah voted “present.” Four Republicans did not vote on the measure.

While the RFMA would not codify Obergefell, it would require states that ban same-sex marriages to recognize legal same-sex marriages from other states in the event that Obergefell is overturned.

It would also protect interracial marriages by requiring states to recognize legal marriages regardless of “sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.”

This final House vote comes one week after the bill passed in the Senate by a vote of 61-36.

The legislation also had bi-partisan support from 12 Republicans, including:

Roy Blunt of MissouriRichard Burr of North CarolinaShelley Moore Capito of West VirginiaSusan Collins of MaineJoni Ernst of IowaCynthia Lummis of WyomingLisa Murkowski of AlaskaRob Portman of OhioMitt Romney of UtahDan Sullivan of AlaskaThom Tillis of North CarolinaTodd Young of Indiana

The measure will now be sent to President Joe Biden’s desk to be officially signed into law.
