This morning, the Supreme Court rolled back civil rights protections for the LGBTQ+ community, ruling 6-3 that a Christian wedding web designer does not have to build a website for a same-sex couple. Congress is the one branch of government that is in theory designed to be representative of the U.S. population. This week, we look at LGBTQ+ representation on the Hill now, and throughout history, as well as bills in play that would most impact the LGBTQ+ community.
