We lost three major allies in the US House of Representatives last night: Debbie Halvorson, Bill Foster, a great man and a great lawmaker, and super-ally Phil Hare, who has sponsored about every piece of pro-LGBT legislation that has ever appeared in those chambers. We're on the verge of also losing another ally any moment now in Melissa Bean, but as of writing, that race is too close to call.
