Commentary
The so-called Equality Act that the House passed (with all Democrats and eight Republicans voting for it) elicited some alternative, mock titles that are at least more accurate.
Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) (C) welcomes Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) to the lectern during a rally and news conference with Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) (R) and leaders from LGBTQ advocacy organizations before the House votes on the Equality Act in Washington, D.C., on May 17, 2019. The openly gay politicians and their supporters called on the Republican-controlled Senate to pass the Equality Act, which would modify existing civil rights law to extend anti-discrimination protections to LGBT Americans in employment, education, credit, jury service, federal funding, housing and public accommodations.
