Report: Chip Roy one of U.S. House's most frequent filers of anti-LGTBQ+ legislation
U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, whose district includes swaths of both San Antonio and Austin, was among the most aggressive U.S. House members in filing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in 2023, a new congressional report shows. Last year, Roy and other Republicans held more than 50 anti-LGBTQ+ votes on the House floor and filed more than 95 anti-LGBTQ+ amendments to bills scheduled for debate, according to an analysis by the Congressional Equality Caucus, which is comprised of openly LGBTQ+ House members. The report, titled Obsessed: House Republicans' Relentless Attacks Against the LGBTQIA+ Community in 2023, also notes that GOP members introduced 55 bills targeting members of the LGBTQ+ community last year.
