Three MI Republicans Vote for ENDA
Yesterday was the historic and controversial vote on ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act). Three Michigan Republican Congresspersons voted YES which was very surprising to me given their past record.
They were: Congressman Joe Knollenberg, Candice Miller, and Thaddeus McCotter.
McCotter and Miller have both been co-sponsors of the Federal Marriage Amendment and Knollenberg used to have a 0% voting record with the Human Rights Campaign.
I am pretty certain that Knollenberg's position on ENDA stems from his current Democratic Challenger Gary Peters, whom many people believe may defeat him next November. Peters is known for being progressive on GLBT issues.

Really Sean? I assumed it had more to do with Joe Knollenberg's gay son.
No. His openly gay son has not been a factor is his voting. In fact it has been the most striking reason people think he is a creep. Because he has opposed equality for his own son.
Sean I wrote Congressman McCotter in the hopes of getting his vote for the ENDA. I'm a very gay friendly Republican and also very young 20. If you could send me any links about how to volunteer for the Triangle Foundation, I'd apperciate it.
Great. Thanks Christopher. What is your contact information
