Equality Act, a comprehensive LGBTQ+ civil rights bill.The House had approved the bill in 2019, but it never came to a vote in the Senate, which had a Republican majority then.
Supporters are hoping for a better outcome this year, as the Senate is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris has the tie-breaking vote.The vote in the House Thursday was 224-206, with three Republicans joining all the chamber’s Democrats in supporting the legislation.
Two Republicans did not vote.The act would amend existing civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
