Thebill, which would amend anti-discrimination law to add protections for gay and transgender Americans, passed on a 224-206 vote. Three Republicans supported the legislation, which previously passed the House in May 2019. “Today is a great day. Today we send a clear message to every LGBTQ person that you belong here, that you are loved for who you are and that we won’t stop fighting until your experience is true equity and equality,” said Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan.
