I just want to say that I think we do understand what we are doing here today; and what we are doing is supporting people's right to love and their equal protection under the law, plain and simple. Extreme, MAGA Republicans continue to weaponize our government institutions, turning them against the people they are called to protect. The Respect for Marriage Act will make marriage equality the law of the land. During Pride Month, the extreme Texas GOP openly declared, openly declared, at their convention their homophobia and bigotry as part of their agenda. They are going as far as labelling same-sex couples as having an abnormal lifestyle. We will not allow this rightwing obsession to impose their personal religious views on people's private lives to go any further. To my colleagues across the aisle, and to the Texas GOP, marrying the person you love is not abnormal. It is, frankly, none of your business. Abnormal is your obsession with what other people do in their private lives and in their homes. ``Love is love.'' ``Amor es amor.''
