Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to adjourn the House and end official business for the day because she opposes the Equality Act, which would prohibit workplace discrimination against LGBTQ Americans. She just made a long, bigoted speech on the House floor attacking trans people.

Update: every House Republican who has voted so far backed Marjorie Taylor Greene in trying to adjourn the House to block a bill protecting LGBTQ Americans.

Greene made it very clear that this was about bigotry against trans people. House Republicans are standing with her.

Yesterday Marjorie Taylor Greene equated protecting LGBTQ Americans from workplace discrimination with "protecting pedophiles." Today she gave a speech attacking trans people laced with bigotry, then tried to stop all House business for the day.

Here's how the vote is going now:

Update: this was the final vote after Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to end House business for the day, a move she defined as an attack on trans people.

Every House Republican who voted stood with Marjorie Taylor Greene.

I don't like to give this bigot attention but we can't just act like this isn't happening when the entire Republican party is lining up behind her.

Here's Greene's speech attacking trans people before she tried to adjourn the House. This is really awful.

Greene supports discrimination against trans people because she was "thrilled" "to compete against biological women" in sports.

She objects to "trans men, men - biological men that identify as women" having access to addiction counseling or battered women's shelters. Her words.

Emboldened by having the entire House Republican conference support her open bigotry by backing her failed attempt to adjourn the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene is now publicly bullying her colleague's daughter. What a monster.
