In a largely party-line vote Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed landmark LGBTQ rights legislation, advancing one of the Biden administration’s key policy initiatives to the Senate, where observers say the Equality Act won’t pass without significant changes.
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.

They justified it by pointing to his appointment of federal judges and his anti-abortion stances. Trump won more than three-quarters of white evangelicals last November.
Those few Christian conservatives who stood up included two former speechwriters for Republican presidents: columnist Michael Gerson and Pete Wehner, an ethicist. Also standing up were: Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist convention; Mark Galli, the former editor of Christianity Today which editorialized against Trump s reelection; and David French, senior edito
