Marriage equality finds bipartisan alliance as Senate nears passage of same sex unions

The Senate is set to approve same-sex marriage legislation as early as this week after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., moved to bring the bipartisan Respect for Marriage Act, for a vote before the full Senate.
The measure would enshrine marriage equality months after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas raised the spectre of reversing the 2015 landmark Obergefell v. Hodges decision recognizing same sex unions.
Senators are expected to hold a vote Wednesday to bypass the 60-vote filibuster and clear the way for final passage as early as Friday.
