They Voted For You: Anti-Gay Discrimination

U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, voted for legislation Wednesday "to prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation."

U.S. Reps. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, opposed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which prevailed 235-184.

"Passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act came despite protests from some gay rights supporters that the bill does not protect transgender workers," The Associated Press reports. "That term covers transsexuals, cross-dressers and others whose outward appearance does not match their gender at birth."

"A veto from President Bush is expected if the proposal does pass the Senate," the AP article continues.
