Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act
Time: 1996
Place: Washington D.C., U.S.
Details: In 1996, Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibited the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, thereby barring individuals in such marriages from equal protection under federal law and allowing states to do the same; in 2015, the act was ruled unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
