Here are the three GOP lawmakers who voted for the Equality Act

Three Republicans opted to buck party lines and join Democrats in voting for the Equality Act on Thursday.

While eight GOP lawmakers voted for a similar version of the legislation in 2019, Reps. John Katko (R-N.Y.), Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) were the only Republicans to vote in favor of the bill a second time.

Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) voted for the 2019 version, but did not join Democrats in Thursday's vote.

GOP Reps. Susan Brooks (Ind.), Will Hurd (Texas) and Greg Walden (Ore.), who also voted for the previous legislation, retired at the end of the last Congress.
