WASHINGTON DC — President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed legislation that codifies same-sex as well as interracial marriage rights in the U.S. in an attempt to stave off attempts to overturn any more Supreme Court rulings.

The law will repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and recognize same-sex marriage rights in the U.S.
