Additionally, there were Republicans who switched their vote, per Axios Congressional reporter Andrew Solender:

The bill, which now goes to President Joe Biden to sign into law, would repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as being between a man and a woman.

The bill came about following the Supreme Court reversing earlier this year the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade in which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his opinion that the court could revisit issues such as same-sex marriage. The Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage as the law of the land in 2015.
