Biden to sign bill granting protections to same-sex marriage

President Joe Biden will on Tuesday sign into law a bill granting federal protections to same-sex marriage — gathering thousands of guests at the White House to celebrate the legislative milestone. The legislation’s final adoption by Congress last week marked a rare show of bipartisanship in deeply divided Washington. Public acceptance has grown dramatically in recent decades, with polls now showing a strong majority of Americans supporting same-sex marriage.
