"Less than three days after a mass shooting in Orlando which killed 49 people, the US House of Representatives has blocked a vote on a measure to protect gay federal workers against discrimination.
Despite many house Republicans having stood up in support of the victims of the Orlando Pulse mass shooting which killed 49 and injured another 53, the Republican leaders in the House of Representatives blocked the vote on the measure on Tuesday."

What would you expect from our right-wing house of reps. Well at least they tried to hold a moment of silence for the victims ::)

Am I supposed to be surprised? All I'm wondering is how many more people have to die before something actually changes?
