Bera Statement on House Vote on LGBT Anti-Discrimination Provision
Washington, DC,
May 19, 2016
Today, Congressman Ami Bera (CA-7) released the following statement after the House failed to pass an amendment barring federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT employees: “It's outrageous that today Representative Maloney’s amendment to prohibit discrimination against LGBT employees who are hired under federal contracts failed in the House. This is a step back for our nation on the path toward full equality for every American. I will continue to fight for equal rights until everyone has equal protection under the law.” ### |
