Fucking piece of shit:
U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance said Tuesday that he doesn't support federal legislation to codify protections for same-sex and interracial marriage, calling it a "bizarre distraction" from other issues.
The bill, which passed the U.S. House last month, would require federal recognition of all marriages as long as they were deemed valid in the state they were performed. It would also repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
Speaking to reporters at the Ohio State Fair, Vance characterized the bill as a solution in search of a problem.
"You have a sky-high inflation crisis, you have a huge recessionary problem, and we're arguing about rights that have already been granted by the Supreme Court," he said. "It seems like a bizarre distraction for a country that actually has much, much deeper and more serious crises."
Vance also argued that the proposal raises religious liberty concerns and doesn't balance marriage equality with the rights of churches or nonprofits to operate according to their values.
