President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act Tuesday, but the Texas constitution still only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman.
If the U.S. Supreme Court ever overturns the 2015 decision that granted same-sex couples the right to marry, even with the new law, new same-sex couples may have to go out of state to be married in the future, and existing same-sex couples may not be recognized, meaning they could be forced to go out of state and get married again.
Earlier this year, the conservative court overturned 50 years of abortion rights across America, instilling concern in same-sex couples. Texas voters in 2005 overwhelmingly approved a statewide constitutional amendment, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
