GOP Support of Gay Rights Bill Shows Tone Shift

The Senate appears poised to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would ban discrimination against gay workers. Seven Republican senators are supporting the legislation. Speaker John Boehner says he won’t bring the bill up for a vote in the House. But the Washington Post says the fact that Boehner’s criticisms of the bill are more about trial lawyers than moral issues signals a softened tone from the GOP on gay rights.
