An LGBT measure derailed a $37.5 billion House energy and water spending bill and now threatens to bring the entire appropriations process to a grinding halt in the House.
The amendment from Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., would codify a 2014 executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Opponents characterize the Maloney amendment as a violation of conscience rights. They fear that the failed amendment could require federal contractors to provide special status to members of the LGBT community or lose their business with the federal government.
With the support of 43 Republicans, the amendment passed late Wednesday night, 223-195. But Thursday morning, the underlying spending bill was defeated 112-305.

Sick of the GBLTs, anyway. It’s like they own us XX and XY people.
The amendment from Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.
One needs to ask themselves: Why Did Speaker Ryan ALLOW THIS??
Quisling Rino POS!
Good, don’t fund anything and shut down the Govt for less than 1% of the population. Yeah, that makes sense.
another federal government shutdown, this time over trannies (body parts, not automotive parts).
so returning to an age old question, is obama a pitcher or a catcher?
I am for anything that slows down congress
I don't think any thinking people should allow themselves to get sucked into using wording such as this..... to use such wording is to agree that these are real entities and conditions and therefore by default, normal. They are not... they are phony and contrived conditions that are abnormal and unnatural. In future, whenever I hear this language, I'm going to make a point to first correct the person saying it by saying "oh you mean sexual perversion and mental gender instability"... or something like that.
It's the onerous taxes, red tape, and government BS that is chasing the jobs away. Not the "evil" corporations.

Why Did Speaker Ryan ALLOW THIS??
**************************************
Because he is a quisling.
Pelosi never allowed the Republicans, but Ryan has no backbone.
Cantorize Ryan before he can do any more damage.
The entire thing is insane on the face of it. Dozens of “genders” and companies get fined in star chambers if they don’t accommodate all of it? Madness! If you ever had any doubt that the Left is insane this should end all doubts.
Super Secret, Super Genius Plan # 122,978.
Honestly I don’t care what bathroom someone goes into. The LGBT community will get the tolerance that they give. What I object to is the federal government powergrab of unenumerated authority.
These are decisions that need to be made by the local communities rather than enforced from a tyrannical powerhungry federal OR STATE beaurocracy.
The Second Amendment is there to protect against that kind of federal government overreach when the ballot box fails to deliver the message.

They’re afraid of being tagged anti-freak bigots.
If you don’t agree with Left’s radical social agenda, you’re a bigot.
43 Republicans are not a badge of courage in failing to resist it.
You’re right. Wittgenstein would be proud.
Why does quisling Ryan pass the entire DEMOCRAT budget with a Republican-controlled Congress?
