President Biden will sign into law Tuesday a bipartisan bill that will codify same-sex and interracial marriages with a large celebration on the South Lawn of the White House.

"Today, Congress took a critical step to ensure that Americans have the right to marry the person they love," Biden said in a statement Thursday after the House passed the Respect for Marriage Act, which would recognize marriages federally and across state lines. The Senate passed it earlier.

"While we are one step closer on our long journey to build a more perfect union," Biden added, "we must never stop fighting for full equality for LGBTQI+ Americans and all Americans."
