The bill – now signed into law by President Biden – protects marriage equality and ensures legal same-sex and interracial marriages are recognized.
Steel and Kim are clearly out-of-step with the majority of Californians on protecting people’s civil rights, and the vulnerable Congresswomen will be pressed to answer for their unpopular and dangerous record as same-sex marriage protections may soon be on the ballot again in California.
DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“At a time when the far-right continues to attack the LGBTQ community, it’s increasingly important that we have leaders in Congress who are willing to stand up to bullies and protect privacy, safety, and equality for everyone. Michelle Steel and Young Kim have repeatedly aligned themselves with those bullies, and the DCCC will continue to hold them accountable for their radical agenda.”
REMINDER: Michelle Steel accepted contributions from the Ahmanson family, who has a history of donating to anti-LGBTQ causes. In 2020, Steel was under fire for bragging about her decision to pull her daughter out of college because she supported marriage equality.
