When the House voted on Wednesday in favor of the Matthew Shepard Act to add protections for LGBT victims to the existing federal hate-crimes law, it marked the first time since 2007 that Congress has wrestled with major gay-related legislation. The roll-call vote of 249-175 was enough to pass the bill on to the Senate, which may address it as early as next week.
Looking at the numbers, 231 Democrats and 18 Republicans favored the bill, while 17 Democrats and 158 Republicans opposed it. Ten Members (eight Democrats and two Republicans) did not cast a vote.
