Openly gay lawmaker: Expect more floor fights over LGBT issues
Openly Gay Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) is expecting more fights on the House floor over LGBT rights, after an amendment battle caused chaos at the Capitol last month.
Shouting overtook the floor in May when GOP lawmakers changed their votes to ensure a measure to ensure protections for members of the LGBT community narrowly failed to pass.
{mosads}”We’ve got some work to do,” Maloney told The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper.
“As we celebrate Pride month, we should remind ourselves that even with all progress, there’s a lot of people that want to take us back, so the fight goes on.”
