The Senate on Wednesday advanced legislation to protect same-sex marriage, clearing a filibuster and sending it on to near-certain passage.
In a 62-37 vote, 12 Republicans voted with all Democrats to move forward on the bill, after negotiators reached a bipartisan deal to include protections for religious liberty. The vote on passage could occur as soon as this week.
The House passed a same-sex marriage bill without a religious liberty component in July, with support from nearly 50 House Republicans. If the Senate passes its version, the bill will head back to the House for approval.
