President Joe Biden signed the bill at a ceremony on the White House lawn and celebrated the passage of the legislation, which enjoyed bipartisan support despite criticism from some Republicans.

“Joe Biden held kind of an over the top celebration—this extravaganza—that was named the Respect for Marriage Act,” Ingraham said. “A bill that moves to restrict freedom of religion and freedom of speech, even.”

“Meaning, whether you’re Catholic or evangelical or maybe Muslim, any serious person of faith, you will not necessarily have the rights tomorrow that you had yesterday,” she said.

The Respect for Marriage Act is designed to protect interracial marriages amid concerns that the Supreme Court could potentially overturn landmark rulings such as 2015’s Obergefell vs. Hodges, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

The legislation requires each state to recognize marriages that are valid in the state where they were performed.

Some critics of the legislation have claimed that it will undermine religious freedom with regard to views about marriage, but the bill includes federal protections for religious beliefs.

“Diverse beliefs about the role of gender in marriage are held by reasonable and sincere people based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises,” the legislation says.

Representatives from a number of religious groups attended the bill signing on Tuesday, including those from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Orthodox Jewish leaders and guests representing the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities and the National Association of Evangelicals.

Republicans who supported the legislation, including Senators Todd Young and Joni Ernst, have also defended its protections for religious freedom. Twelve GOP senators backed the bill.

On Tuesday, Ernst responded to reports that several county-level Republican organizations in Iowa are considering censuring her for her vote.

“I don’t agree with the censure,” Ernst said. “But I will say that I stand by my vote, and I hope that more people will actually read the bill and understand we have just improved upon religious liberty protections, not just in Iowa, but across the United States.”

Biden said on Tuesday that “today’s a good day,” as he celebrated signing the Respect for Marriage Act.

“A day America takes a vital step toward equality. Toward liberty and justice, not just for some, but for everyone. Everyone! Creating a nation to nation where decency, dignity and love are recognized, honored and protected,” the president said.

Two-time Grammy Award-winning singer and activist Cyndi Lauper attended Tuesday’s ceremony and spoke in favor of the bill. She also performed at the event shortly before Biden signed the bill.

“We can rest easy tonight, because our families are validated,” Lauper told reporters in the White House briefing room.
