More like 12 POS representing their constituents.
The Republicans voting to advance the bill are: Roy Blunt of Missouri; Richard Burr of North Carolina; Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia; Susan Collins of Maine; Joni Ernst of Iowa; Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming; Lisa Murkowski of Alaska; Rob Portman of Ohio; Mitt Romney of Utah; Dan Sullivan of Alaska; Thom Tillis of North Carolina; and Todd Young of Indiana.

James Lankford (R-Okla.) The Respect for Marriage Act isn’t about equality or maintaining the status quo. It is about silencing and disadvantaging people that disagree."
Franklin Graham, the Christian evangelist, tweeted: "The bill strikes a blow at religious freedom for individuals & ministries & is really the 'Destruction of Marriage Act.'"
As the Heritage Foundation noted this past summer when the House passed the bill, the "Respect for Marriage Act" "isn't about marriage or respect at all. It's about imposing the radical left's sexual ideology as state orthodoxy.

"...By radically redefining marriage and eviscerating states’ rights, the bill would transform matters of disagreement—even on the basis of deeply and sincerely held religious belief—into discrimination. Those who refuse to submit—whether states, government officials, or any the U.S. attorney general deems to be “acting under the color of State law” -- would be punished for their beliefs."
