A | In a statement put out by House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) on Monday, a group of Democratic lawmakers, joined by Republican Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), announced they were introducing the Respect for Marriage Act. According to the lawmakers, the bill “would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enshrine marriage equality for the purposes of federal law, and provide additional legal protections for marriage equality.”,“Three weeks ago, a conservative majority on the Supreme Court not only repealed Roe v Wade and walked back 50 years of precedent, it signaled that other rights, like the right to same-sex marriage, are next on the chopping block,” Nadler said in the release. “As this Court may take aim at other fundamental rights, we cannot sit idly by as the hard-earned gains of the Equality movement are systematically eroded.”,In addition to repealing DOMA, which explicitly allowed states to refuse to recognize same-gender marriages, the Respect for Marriage Act would make it federal law that an individual would be considered married if the marriage was valid in the state where it was performed, and protect the “full faith and credit” of their marriage, as well as provide both them and the US Attorney General with avenues for action against such infractions.,House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said on Monday that the bill was slated for a floor vote in the majority-Democrat chamber before the end of the week.,Ted Cruz Weighs in Opposing SCOTUS Ruling Allowing Same-Sex MarriageYesterday, 16:42 GMT,Same-gender marriage was legalized nationwide in 2015 after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Obergefell vs. Hopkins that denying someone the right to marry a person of the same gender as them violated their right to equal protection under the law provided by the Fourteenth Amendment.,However, when the high court issued its decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson last month and overturned Roe vs. Wade, a 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide, it signaled that several other cases could also soon be on the chopping block, including Obergefell and other decisions that established the right to privacy, to contraception, and to sex with someone of the same gender.,When it comes to both abortion and same-gender marriage, many US states kept laws on the books banning them even after the Supreme Court ruled them unconstitutional. When Roe was overturned last month, those laws reactivated, immediately banning abortions in numerous US states.,Prior to the Obergefell ruling, 36 states and the District of Columbia recognized and allowed same-gender marriages.,Another effort to protect LGBTQ rights, the Equality Act, has stalled in the Senate amid Republican intransigence and an unwillingness by the Democrats to remove the filibuster rule allowing a minority of senators to block any potential vote on a bill. The act would ban discrimination against LGBTQ people across a wide swath of US public life, including in employment and access to public facilities, by adding gender identity and sexuality to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.。

据悉尼《先驱报》报道，澳大利亚金龙博物馆馆内多个中国文物近日遭到破坏，其中就包括一条长100米、拥有120多年历史，被认为是世界上最古老且完整的中国舞龙。这些展品均被泼洒不明液体，嫌疑人为一男一女及两名儿童，目前在逃，警方怀疑此举与种族主义有关。

金龙博物馆首席执行官雨果·莱申表示，在进行正常巡检时，他们发现有不明油性液体顺着龙的鼻子流了下来，随后立即对馆内监控进行调取，结果令人大吃一惊。

从监控中可以看到，四人在馆内大殿里参观时，站在前方的女子突然将瓶子中的不明液体对着展品及殿内墙壁等处进行泼洒。不仅如此，在对馆内文物进行整体检查时还发现至少有35幅画作和几尊中国雕像上也发现了同样的不明液体。

在破坏了金龙博物馆后他们并没有就此收手，而是驱车前往附近的佛教纪念碑大佛塔又毁坏了大约12座雕像后然后才驾驶着一辆银色丰田普拉多离开现场。

据悉，金龙博物馆于1991年开放，由当地华人集资筹建，里面除了收藏有佛像和百年舞龙外，还收藏了大量珍贵的中国家具、装饰品以及一些刺绣的锦旗和衣服等，是非常有中国文化特色的博物馆，在当地也享有盛名。

破坏事件发生后，博物馆首席执行官雨果·莱申表示，很明显这不是随机的盲目破坏行为，而是对世界遗产、文化和宗教场所的恶意攻击，这些龙具有国家和国际意义。澳大利亚华人社区委员会在一份声明中谴责了这种破坏行为。

就在今年2月，澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯还与这条舞龙合影并表示：在我们庆祝龙年之际，我来参观澳大利亚最古老的舞龙，它的历史可以追溯到127年前，它展示了华裔澳大利亚人在我们国家历史中扮演的重要角色。

目前几人仍在逃，警方呼吁市民可以提供更多的线索，警方表示该行为是有预谋的，并“可能出于种族主义”。
