Opposed the Respect for Marriage Act

During the 117th Congress, Buchanan opposed the Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404), which would set a federal policy recognizing same-sex marriages. The scorecard’s description says the measure could affect how the government treats people and organizations with religious or moral objections to same-sex marriage.

Context: This records a position attributed to Buchanan on a 2022 vote, not a newly stated or reaffirmed current policy.
