Twelve Republicans joined Democrats to start formal debate on the bill.
The Senate is poised to soon pass landmark legislation to federally enshrine both same-sex and interracial marriage rights , amid what Democrats call a worry that the Supreme Court's conservative majority could overturn protections for both.
The first key test vote was Wednesday to start formal debate on the bill.
That procedural hurdle was cleared with a 62-37 vote, with 12 Republicans joining the 50-member Democratic caucus.
While that had set the measure on a track to pass as early as Thursday, ahead of the the week-long Thanksgiving recess, a Democratic leadership aide told ABC News that a final vote has since been postponed until after the holiday.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that the Senate would take another procedural vote on the proposal, though its supporters had hoped to expedite or surpass this step after Wednesday's vote showed a filibuster-proof majority backed the bill. It wasn't not clear how many or which Republicans were forcing this additional vote.
The 12 Republicans who voted yes on Wednesday were Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Mitt Romney of Utah, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Todd Young of Indiana and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
“Individuals in same-sex marriages and interracial marriages need and deserve the confidence and the certainty that their marriages are legal and will remain legal,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., a lead co-sponsor of the bill and the first openly LGBTQ woman elected to Congress, has said. “These loving couples should be guaranteed the same rights and freedoms as every other marriage.”
“I know passing the Respect for Marriage Act is as personal as it gets for many senators and their staffs, myself included,” Schumer said this week. He noted his own daughter and her wife, who are married, are expecting a baby in February.
Schumer has argued that the concurring opinion issued by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas overturning Roe. v. Wade this summer, in which he said the court “should reconsider” the case granting the nationwide right to gay marriage, put the rights of LGBTQ Americans in jeopardy.
Other justices on the high court had taken pains to distance Thomas' view from the majority opinion reversing Roe.
The Respect for Marriage Act would “require the federal government to recognize a marriage between two individuals if the marriage was valid in the state where it was performed,” according to a summary from the bill’s sponsors, including Congress’ first openly bisexual woman in the Senate, Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., along with Susan Collins, R-Maine, Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C.
The bill would not require any state to issue marriage licenses contrary to its laws but would mandate that states recognize lawfully granted marriages performed in other states, including same-sex and interracial unions.
For Portman, whose son came out to him as gay several years ago, it’s about giving people “security in their marriages.”
“It’s important to give people comfort that they won’t lose their rights as they move from state to state. It’s a pretty simple bill,” he previously said, adding that the American people have evolved to support the issue and Congress should too.
But ahead of Wednesday's vote, some Republicans called the legislation unnecessary.
“I think it’s pretty telling that Sen. Schumer puts a bill on the floor to reaffirm what is already a constitutional right of same-sex marriage, which is not under any imminent threat, and continues to ignore national security and not take up the defense authorization bill,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, referring to the annual defense policy bill that has yet to be passed by the chamber this year.
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., in charge of the vote operation for the GOP conference, has said he would not support the legislation but also made clear he would not be whipping against the measure.
Notably, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., steadfastly refused to say how he would vote on the proposal before. He ultimately voted "no" on Wednesday.
A similar bill passed the House in July with 47 Republicans voting in favor, but its Senate sponsors, in order to garner enough GOP support for final passage, had to amend the legislation to add specific religious liberty and conscience protections.
Schumer also pushed off a vote past the midterms, hoping to draw more conservative votes in the Senate once the political considerations of the campaign had passed.
The bill, once through the Senate and then approved by the House for a second time, would be sent to President Joe Biden for his signature.

Taylor Camp resident Diane Daniells built this tree house with lumber from an old plantation camp house.
Where the road ends on Kauai’s north shore, a group of hippies in the early 1970s lived in an off-grid Hawaii community of tree houses, grew their hair long, smoked weed and chose to go nude. Taylor Camp, as it would become known, was named after Kauai resident Howard Taylor, the brother of actress Elizabeth Taylor. Howard owned the 7 acres of land in Haena, a scenic coastline of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a tropical abundance of streams, caves and green cliffs. It was in 1969 that Howard welcomed homeless men, women and children to live on his beachfront property, with no rules or rent to pay. “We’ve had no trouble,” Howard said in a 1970 Honolulu Star-Bulletin article. “Most of them are just here while they make up their minds to return to the ‘Establishment’ world and what they want to do there.”
The 1960s arrival of hippies to Kauai was the island’s introduction to Western counterculture, people who defied societal norms — and there were many members of the public and politicians who complained and hated the camp’s existence. In its heyday, Taylor Camp’s population grew to about 100 people, living in about two dozen structures. People continued to live there until 1977, when the county raided it and burned the houses to the ground.
Located on the north shore of Kauai, Taylor Camp was situated on Limahuli Stream in Haena, a coastline with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
When Howard moved to Kauai, he never expected to create a hippie community. He had been living on Oahu, working at the University of Hawaii, and fell in love with the Garden Island. He bought the beachfront property in Haena, moved his family to Kauai, and planned to build a home for his wife and five kids.
“He was an oceanographer and cartographer, and he was an extremely talented artist,” photographer John Wehrheim tells SFGATE on a call from Bhutan. Wehrheim knew Taylor and visited the camp many times. He published a book and produced a documentary film on Taylor Camp, interviewing and photographing many of its residents. “They bought the property, couldn’t get a building permit, no one would tell him why. They were giving him the old local-style stall,” continues Wehrheim. “He eventually found out that the state had plans to create a state park out of that land, cause you know where it is, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world.”

Left in limbo with no way forward, Howard bought land elsewhere on the island and abandoned his Haena land, until he found a purpose for it in 1969. It was then that he learned that 13 hippie campers, men, women and children, were arrested on the island for vagrancy at a beach near Lihue after overstaying their permit. A judge sentenced all of them to 90-day jail sentences.
“These folks were from Berkeley — I think there were thirteen — they were having a lot of problems,” Tommy Taylor, Howard’s son, said in Wehrheim’s book. “My dad was concerned for these folks. Local guys were beating them up. I think one of the women had been raped and there were a lot of letters to the editor saying, ‘We ought to put them on a plane and send them back where they came from.’” Wanting to help and, as some accused, out of spite, Howard and his wife picked them all up from the jail and took them to his Haena property to live. He enjoyed the company of the campers, some of whom were highly educated. “The campers wanted to escape the Mainland, the political situation, the Vietnam War. They were dropping out, trying to get away and these people found Kauai,” Tommy said.
Elizabeth Taylor visited Howard on Kauai during the Christmas of 1969; that was the last time Howard was seen at the camp. Soon, word spread about Taylor Camp. People from around the world found themselves there, sometimes by happenstance, other times by word of mouth.
Diane Patalano and Richie Palumbo lived in a tree house at Taylor Camp.
The original 13 did not stay long, but a new wave of people took their place, including hippies, surfers, vets, a doctor and lawyers, who kept the camp going and created its free-spirited lifestyle. “It was a great experimental living situation. There were no rules. There was nothing you signed when you came in the door, it just unfolded — happened naturally,” Cherry Hamilton, who moved to Kauai from Miami, told Wehrheim in the book. “There was a co-op. There was a church,” she continued. “There would be wild full moon parties, thirty-foot waves rushing under our houses, bongos playing madly at midnight and babies being born.”
This map of Taylor Camp was created by Big Island artist and former Taylor Camp resident Patricia Leo, which provides a snapshot of the village.
As the years went on, the camp created its own water system and landfill. It had a communal toilet and negotiated with the county for a local school bus stop and garbage pickups. Meanwhile, the newspapers focused their attention on the camp’s use of marijuana , potential for diseases and politicians’ complaints. “The guy who built his legal and political career on hating hippies was the [Kauai] mayor,” says Wehrheim. Aside from the government, there were neighbors who complained, too. The Hanalei Community Association sent a letter to the county in 1970 writing that the camp was likely a “breeding place for disease, immorality and drug abuse and may also serve as a sanctuary for criminals.” Taylor Camp did attract its share of unsavory characters, but those types of people didn’t last long, says Wehrheim, and were “vibed out,” since it was a small, tight knit community.
“There were drug addicts, there were heroin addicts there, there were people selling cocaine in the later days when that happened,” says Wehrheim. “But there were drug addicts and alcoholics and cocaine peddlers in every community in Hawaii at that time.”
Wehrheim says Taylor Camp was generally full of positive people — and to describe them all as stoned hippies would be a misconception. There were those there specifically to surf. Others worked, like Diane Daniells, who lived at Taylor Camp while reportedly founding the first Montessori school on Kauai.

“There were a lot of people, as you’ll see in the film, that went on to do really solid good things in their communities,” he says. “Victor Schaub, the original guy who stood up in court and said, ‘
