“I thank my colleagues who led this effort on this nondiscrimination bill, which is historic, and I am pleased we had a bipartisan vote to make America more accepting and a just place. It is a work-in-progress, and I am very pleased we could find the support on this floor to do that. Now the bill goes to the House, and I urge my colleagues in my congressional delegation and others to look at this bill with an open mind and an open heart and end discrimination in the workplace. I urge them to support this bill.
