IKEA U.S. Applauds Passage of Respect for Marriage Act
IKEA U.S. applauds today’s passage of the Respect for Marriage Act. At IKEA, we are always working toward the creation of a more equitable world. This legislation would provide critical federal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages, and is an important step in the journey towards equality. IKEA believes that all people deserve to be their authentic selves at home, at work, and in public. We are proud to stand strongly in support of this legislation.
