The Senate is expected to vote on the ‘Respect for Marriage’ Act soon after the midterm elections.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Over a dozen corporations are lobbying the U.S. Senate to enact legislation that would enshrine same-sex “marriage” in federal law and open the door to forced legal recognition of polygamy, according to financial disclosures from the third quarter of 2022.

Politico reports that Toyota, Dell, General Mills, Altria, UPS, Procter & Gamble, HP, Dow Chemical, Micron, and TechNet (the trade association representing Amazon, Google, Apple, and other tech giants) are among the companies that have urged senators to support the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” (RMA).
The RMA would repeal the longstanding (but unenforced) Defense of Marriage Act (which recognized marriage as a man-woman union in federal law and protected states’ rights to do the same), federally recognize any “marriage” lawfully performed by any state, and force every state to recognize any “marriage” of any other state “between 2 individuals,” without regard for “the sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin of those individuals.”
Notably, under the bill states would only have to recognize one another’s same-sex “marriages,” but the federal government would have to recognize any new union a state comes up with, such as a marriage of more than two people, potentially setting up a pretext for future activists to dismantle a new “inequality.”
Some of the corporations enlisted the Republican-aligned consulting firm Fierce Government Relations to lobby GOP members on their behalf, which supporters claim is bearing fruit.
“We hear increasingly positive signs from Republicans, and not just limited to moderates, who believe this is a settled issue and look forward to supporting it,” said TechNet senior vice president Carl Holshouser. “TechNet sees this as a pivotal moment to have their back on an issue very important to our members and employees.”
