US President Joe Biden has signed legislation that protects same-sex and inter-racial marriage in the United States, a move welcomed by rights advocates as an important step amid fears of a potential rollback and threats of violence against marginalised communities.Biden signed the landmark legislation, known as the Respect for Marriage Act, into law during a ceremony on the White House lawn on Tuesday afternoon that drew thousands of supporters, including top Democratic legislators.“Today is a good day. A day America takes a vital step towards equality, towards liberty and justice not just for some, but for everyone – everyone,” Biden said before signing the law, thanking those who pushed for “equality and justice” for years.
