Democrats in the House approved sweeping anti-discrimination legislation Friday that would extend civil rights protections to LGBT people by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The protections would extend to employment, housing, loan applications, education, public accommodations and other areas.

Called the Equality Act, the bill is a top priority of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said it will bring the nation "closer to equal liberty and justice for all."

Sexual orientation and gender identity "deserve full civil rights protections - in the workplace and in every place, education, housing, credit, jury service, public accommodations," Pelosi said.

The vote was 236-173.

So what will McConnell do?

[rktman]

Yeah because 3-5% of the population is way more importanter than the other 95-97%.

public accommodations

Bathrooms and locker rooms. And anyone who does not cooperate will be subject to government prosecution. If signed into law, you can kiss America as the land of the free goodbye.

[DoughtyOne]

Expand them any further and straights will be arrested and put in mass concentration camps.

McConnell will do, not what is right, but what he thinks is in the best interests of his political future. That's my prediction. His got his finger in the air trying to judge the breeze even as we speak.

This monstrous piece of legislation is just one more reason that We the People should understand that:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!

I strongly urge you to vote against ALL Democrats in 2020!

So - Which pervert Republicans voted for this insanity?

[subterfuge]

Queergays already have the same equal rights of everyone else. Senate won’t pass it anyway.

[grobdriver]

DOA.

This is a big So What. "The House passes a bill giving a million dollars to everyone on the planet" - means as much.

[Taxman]

The word is, right now, that it will never see the light of day in the Senate,

Just find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

It passed with a 63 vote majority so it's obvious a bunch did. I haven't seen the breakdown.

[Antoninus]

Let’s be honest here. This is not about expanding anyone’s rights but about protecting and celebrating a pernicious and disgusting hobby. It is meant to help the purveyors of this hobby recruit new devotees, particularly from among the children of those who want nothing to do with it. For those who oppose this hobby, their right to resist will be restricted.

Republicans voting AYE:

Brooks (IN)
Diaz-Balart
Fitzpatrick
Hurd (TX)
Katko
Reed
Stefanik
Walden

[rottndog]

You can’t have equality when you have classes of citizens with special protections.

[Candor7]

So what will McConnell do?>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Help destroy traditional US culture , of course?

He’s allegedly a bend over boy, having been discharged from the US Army for sodomy in 1967, others say his discharge was for eye problems....but he went right into a heavy reading job after his discharge. Go figure.

McConnel wants to stand up to these idiots, or he is done as Senate Leader.

Right now. Given that McConnell has a spine of Jello it wouldn't surprise me if it gets a vote. All depends on how much heat is directed to him.
