House Democrats Thursday called on Republicans to hold a hearing and votes on legislation that would extend federal protections against discrimination for members of the LGBT community.

“We urge the leadership to hold hearings on this legislation,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “Bring in your witnesses, we’ll bring in ours. Hold hearings so that we can act upon the facts and act upon our values.”
