The Respect for Marriage Act, abbreviated as RFMA (H.R. 8404), is a bill in the United States Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), require the U.S. federal government to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial marriages in the United States, and to protect religious liberty. Its first version in 2009 was supported by former Republican U.S. Representative Bob Barr, the original sponsor of DOMA, and former President Bill Clinton, who signed DOMA in 1996. The administration of President Barack Obama also supported RFMA. Having been introduced in several previous Congresses, another iteration of the proposal was put forth in the 114th Congress in both the House and the Senate in January 2015.
