One of the last remaining antigay Democrats in Congress was just handed his walking papers by voters in Illinois. Dan Lipinski is the eight-term U.S.
Representative for Illinois’s 3rd congressional district, a seat he’s held since 2005. He also holds the unique distinction of being the only House Democrat who refused to sponsor the Equality Act.
In addition to that, Lipinski supported the Defense of Marriage Act and has voted against marriage equality and LGBTQ non-discrimination bills.
