173 Republicans vote against Equality Act banning LGBTQ discrimination

GOP also voted down the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act passed in 1994…..

Lee said, “Religious liberty is not dead but it is alive. This bill focuses on saving lives. It focuses on understanding what it means to be transgender and denied the right to serve in the United States military or it stands up for African American transgender women who have been killed in the South, in the region that I live in. And it stands up for the person who knocked on the door and could not get housing because of their status. So I’d ask my friends who are Mormon, Seventh-day Adventists, who are Catholic, Jewish, Muslims and other religions, how would you feel if you knocked on a door and you could not get in?”
