Leftist senators 'hopeful' they can find five Republicans to pass same-sex 'marriage,' polygamy bill

Stop the Federal Government From Forcing Homosexual 'Marriage' On the States!

  • HR 8404 would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which recognized marriage as a man-woman union in federal law and protected states' rights to do the same
  • Federal government would have to recognize any new "marriage" arrangement a state comes up with, such as a marriage of more than two people

47 House Republicans joined every House Democrat in voting to pass HR 8404

  • So far, five Republican senators have either committed to or implied supporting the bill: Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Rob Portman, and Ron Johnson
  • Democrats need a total of ten GOP defections to clear the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold
  • Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin spearheads efforts to recruit the remaining five, a task expected to be even tougher
  • Conservative groups such as the Family Research Council, American Family Association, and LifeSiteNews are picking up the slack
