As you may have seen, the House of Representatives recently passed a semi-bipartisan bill that “enshrines marriage equality in federal law, granting protections to same-sex and interracial couples.” It now heads to President Biden’s desk for signature.
As the daughter of an Iranian immigrant, and wife of a white dude named Geoffrey who spends his mornings spreading cream cheese on bagels, you’d think Congresswoman Stephanie Bice – the cool and relatable craft beer-drinking “moderate” Republican from Oklahoma City who represents Oklahoma’s once-competitive 5th Congressional District – would have been one of the 36 Republicans to vote for the bill that grants protections to interracial couples.
Well, that’s what you’d get for thinking.
