White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said legal attacks on marriage equality will continue even with the Respect for Marriage Act in place.
A White House official warned Tuesday that additional steps are needed to safeguard marriage equality and the LGBTQ community as President Joe Biden signed legislation aimed at protecting same-sex and interracial marriages.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked during a press briefing on Tuesday if there were any concerns about potential challenges to marriage equality in the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act.
Jean-Pierre responded that the legislation is an „important civil rights accomplishment“ that „will build on generations of civil rights advocacy that brought us to this historic moment.
