The House on Tuesday failed to pass a bill aimed at ensuring that LGBTQ-owned businesses aren't facing discrimination when applying for credit.
Lawmakers considered the bill, authored by Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), under an expedited process typically used for noncontroversial bills that requires a two-thirds supermajority for passage.
But while a majority of the House backed the bill in the 248-177 vote, the fact that only 31 Republicans joined Democrats in support meant that it failed to clinch the necessary two-thirds supermajority.

Torres, the first gay Afro-Latino elected to Congress, said it was "shameful" for Republicans to block the bill from quick passage during LGBTQ Pride Month.
