ENDA passes the House:Frank receives resounding applause

Advertisements [?]

Think Progress

The House passed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) passed this evening with a 235-184 vote. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), on the verge of tears, one of two openly gay members of the House, delivered an emotional speech denouncing the efforts of conservatives who attempted to sabotage the bill with parliamentary maneuvers. Frank received resounding applause. Watch it:
