Backers of the bill included leadership such as Elise Stefanik and Tom Emmer, as well as Liz Cheney and House Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry.

It's unclear if the Senate will take up the legislation, as Democratic leaders remained noncommittal on Tuesday. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he would personally support putting it on the floor, but questioned whether there's enough time on the calendar with the Senate set to go on an extended recess in two weeks and two huge party priorities to finish before then.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would not say Tuesday if there would be a floor vote but said, “we're going to look at everything we can do.”

THE HOUSE ACTUALLY PASSED IT. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE COMING FOR NEXT, BUT HE WANTS TO FOCUS ON PARTY PRIORITIES. BITCH HOW IS THIS NOT A PRIORITY?

AHHHHH :this-is-fine:

    Homophobia is extremely mainstream.
