Lawmakers Yell On House Floor Over LGBT Rights | NBC News
Look at this man. A group of hundreds of rich old white people debating whether or not millions of us are equal or not
Exactly . There rights should already be guaranteed
Yes but it seems like he was in the right in this? He says that he didn't see anyone coming up to change their vote despite being told that's what would happen. Unless I'm missing something
@Zero They are not equal currently but they should be, is what I hope you’re saying.
@Zero yet were gaining rights around the world, your views are losing terribly try a new strategy
@Zero sounds a little homophobic does it not ?
I bet this is what’s it’s like when someone wins bingo in the nursing home
Lmao
The senate IS the nursing home, the younger senators are just volunteer
@@kirschitz64 This is the House of Representatives on the Senate
UK parliament is more entertaining
They don’t have rules in place to allow people to speak without interrupting.
What? More chaotic than America? We may be chaotic, but we are one big family. Brothers teasing each other. Salley overcooked her cookies. And, Jim is in his room listening to My Chemical Romance.
Also, Texas had this moment:
th-cam.com/video/leVeBB1eA2M/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheTexasTribune
Watch indian
Uk parliament is way more polite they take each other less personal and argue more on the subject at matter. In my opinion it seems more professional.
DODGY DAVE!
MISTER SPEAKER
He left with Ferris Bueller
Lol
republicans: We aren’t homophobic!
also republicans: *doesnt pass lgbtq anti discrimination bill*
Because the anti-discrimination bill included disciplinary actions on faith-based adoption agencies - agencies that prefer a traditional couple to adopt. If these faith based agencies didn’t allow all to adopt, despite them being a PRIVATE institution holding RELIGIOUS beliefs, the government would shut down these agencies. What kind of secular form of oppression is that?
@@theredlinereport4362 Exactly
@@theredlinereport4362 dosent matter, you don’t see any adoption agencies that prefer if a lgbtq couple adopts and not a heterosexual couple. It’s freedom of religion until you are directly infringing on another persons rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They can have those beliefs but can’t force people to abide by those guidelines. What if you went to a Muslim owned business and they didn’t let you in unless you said a Muslim prayer or wore a religious piece of clothing.
@@lambsaro4140 I would be offended because religion doesn't get in the way of business, but Homosexuality gets in the way of religious institutions and teachings. One is discrimination that serves no purpose, the others are private institutions that don't support someone's choice.
@@MrAnimason what choice?
Isn't it great that any one of these people is allowed to change their vote AFTER the clock has expired?
And thank GOD that it happened
@@vincenthodges647 why?
The clock is the minimum time the vote has to be kept open for. If anyone is in the chamber and wants to vote or change their vote, they must be allowed to do so.
How about NO clock, instead?
@@tackywhale5664 The minimum time rule is there to give lawmakers enough time to get from their office to the chamber when there's a vote. Most of the time more people are in their offices, and only a small number of people are on the floor. When there's a vote, bells ring in the office buildings, so that congress people know to go to the chamber to vote. When multiple votes are held back to back, the first one is 15 minutes long; the remaining votes are 5 minutes long, because presumably everyone is in the chamber for the first vote.
Most people don't realize, he's not fighting with the man addressed as Speaker, he's fighting with Paul Ryan, and the Office of the House Parliamentarian.
“All communication is addressed through the speaker” -political law 101
Can someone please make a Mr. Speaker remix? That would make my life
Why we are in year 2039
Lol
Not Mr Speaker but it's close

Just like the English Parliament... Utter maddness.
British Parliament is equally a total comedy show
MrHistory808 the British Parliament is a comedy act there should be no speaking unless you are recognized by the speaker of the house and if you do Speak with out permission, there should be heavy consequences
@@lordBritish1 believe me we have the same problem here in the US with our Congress as you have seen in that video... Utter maddness. :(
@Mario Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have an "assembly" not a parliament. Ireland 🇮🇪 has a parliament as it is not part of the UK 🇬🇧. Dáil Éireann is Ireland's lower house of parliament (equivalent to the House of Commons) and its members are called Deputies. And Seanad Éireann is Ireland's upper house of parliament (equivalent to the House of Lords) and its members are called Senators.
@Mario And further to my previous reply... Ireland 🇮🇪 is the third most patriotic country in the world, Venezuela 🇻🇪 is second, and the first (no surprise) is the United States of America 🇺🇸, and the UK 🇬🇧 isn't even in the top ten. Ha! 😀
I'm still wondering why he didn't raise a point of order instead to challenge the issue.
Why is it such a huge deal about being LGBT in the world? Seriously. I’m not LGBT but bruh.
It is when you’re a lawmaker representing heavily conservative areas that are extremely anti-LBGT. It’s a conservative minority forcing their will on a democratic majority.
@@c.w.simpsonproductions1230 but why do any people hate LGBT is my question? Like bruh, it’s not a choice for them.
@@DrGodzilla1954 Because people are brainwashed by religion, but the dude above is right, they’re pressured to vote against LGBTQ+ because of the area they live in, a bunch of spineless republicans
Because LGBTQ people can still be fired for their sexual orientation in a number of states. Because LGBTQ people had to fight just so they they could pass on their wealth at death to their widowed loved ones. Because LGBTQ people are denied adoption rights even though perfectly fit to parent. Because LGBTQ people still face being murdered.
Ask yourself this, do you think your comment wouldn’t offend people?
This clip didn't have any lgbt stuff. just a question on why votes changed if they couldn't.
The bill was involving lgbt, but yeah I was expecting them to be directly debating it
3:19
Woodrow Wilson traveled to the future when he was in his twenties. Bottom right corner. On a more serious not this abuse of the system is terrible.
I'll never understand how anyone can be offended by the life choices of someone they've never met.
its not a choice though ?????!!!
@@tomchapman9873 Well yea, you don't choose your sexuality, but you can choose how open you are about it. Thats the part I'm referring to.
Dumb comment. What about Hitler?
Exactly bro wtf
Maybe because They ARE coming FOR our children might have something to do with it...
th-cam.com/video/ArOQF4kadHA/w-d-xo.html
This is obvious abuse of the system and it's disgusting, just like these comments.
Give them some mental help
Republicans are disgusting
@@anatomicallycorrectmuppets8180 so are Democrats 😂😂
If this is "loud" for the house, you should see the UK parliament on a daily basis, it's way more fun
Ahh democracy 😳
Yup. :(
One can only imagine what went on in our Government body before the invention of television. As I was watching this all I could think about was how silly we must look to other countries. Supposed to be a "world leader", a nation of rules and laws that are there for the people. All these people want is power and a bigger paycheck and God help anyone who stands in their way!
I feel like it looked better and people act up for the tv
Wouldn't worry about it too much. Every country's leadership is like this. Some just hide it better than others.
I know this comment is more than 2 years old but all countries politics are like this. Yelling matches and even sometimes physical brawls. It's always been like this since the beginning of western politics. Watch UK parliament proceedings, it's pretty much who can shout louder.
Ahh the US House of Representatives, one of my favorite shows next to UK House of Commons and US Senate
You should see the South African Parliament, and the Indiak Lok Sabha - these 2 are a demented circus.
Can’t be worse than these puppets playing government in america and russia and china
This is exactly how the House of Representatives is supposed to operate! It's nice to see them doing their job for once!
It means the votes didn't change since no one came to change it.hahahahaaa
I think the rules of the British Parliament somehow wiggled their way into this session.
When you spot a future senator. 0:23

@@jeromefitzroy yup

I love sinema

It's like a tipsy grandpa when he notices someone took the last piece of pumpkin pie he swears he just saw.
Why are basic human rights up for debate??.
Because the bill is constituting more than “basic human rights,” the bill in question was an attack on freedom a speech. Take it from someone who would be affected by this.
@@Rustedrevivals yeah because racism and sexism is a considered a hate crime so why isn’t homophobia?
Not being familiar with Parliamentary procedure in the House of Representatives, could someone kindly explain the point the Congressman was making to the Speaker regarding "the Well of the House", and voting practices? And was the "Speaker" occupying that position as a "Deputy Speaker", while the House was sitting "in Committee" (assuming it was - I may be mistaken).
From what I believe, "the well" is the area of the floor between the 435 seats and the giant podium that the clerks and secretaries sit at.
AntPDC - I’m assuming that they all voted - had the numbers up on the wall, and then the numbers changed , and the Congressman pointed out that no one when back to the voting booth (well?) to change their positions from Yay to Nay or vice versa - and pointed out that the changes in their totals should not have changed as no one went to change their votes - busted
The "speaker" was not the speaker at all - the right to chair the House rotates among members of the majority party and on this day it was Rep. Glenn Thompson, a Republican from Pennsylvania (my district, sadly). The "committee" was the Committee of the Whole House, which is where the House considers certain major policies. Representatives are supposed to vote by telling the clerk in the middle of the floor (the well of the House), but a few appeared not to.
@@kylehynes7480 All of this. And yes there is a official Deputy Speaker/Speaker Pro Tempore. But even they don’t preside normally, like he said it rotates between members of the majority. Like how you saw Collins was presiding over the debate but switched with another Republican who you see in the clip getting battered by Hoyer, presided from thereon until the next switch. It’s just decorum to refer to whomever is presiding as “Mr/Madam Speaker” the actual Speaker doesn’t preside usually unless it’s a very big piece of legislation.
I'm confused
Watching this makes me so sad. It should sort of make me happy because at least my community is being acknowledged and people are actually trying for us, but for any of you that are watching this...can you truly imagine what watching a group of people voting on your basic rights feels like? It's very strange and quite sad. It's also sad that it failed. To know that my liberty (as straight Americans know liberty) is in the hands of these people who are so careless with the process is not only terrifying, but deeply painful.
It's hard for me to explain what seeing this video makes me feel. I hadn't seen it before. I should probably just stop.
Bruh, basic rights? You have no idea what your talking about.
@@usedtissue1073 "you don't know what you're talking about" *refuses to elaborate further
Black people have been experiencing it for years
Men can’t be women and women can’t be men. You have no rights when you are criminally insane.
Congratulations. The minority has destroyed America.
I clearly don’t watch enough C-SPAN
How did the votes change if no one went to change the votes?
Anyone know what actually happened?
Corrupt libtard bs
Mericanmuskles 420 I know you really meant to say corrupt republican bs and forgot to change it. I got you tho
Speaker: This is a two minute vote
Me: Good luck with that, fool.
This is an example of why america is going down to the pits of hell.
Tell that to donald trump
I voted with them
I love how a bunch of people who don't know anything about me get to decide how my life is run from a cushy room in Washington.
We call this corrupt
I have a feeling that these people must’ve watched too much Oliver Cromwell the movie from the 70’s...
Sure looks like it passed to me 213 yes 212 no. What am I missing here?
prometheus5700 what your missing is that votes were not being counted correctly. If no-one was in well voting then how was the voting counter changing.
So what happened in the end?
@@uniquelyqualified3676 u can guess.
@@krispyaboredguy4936 i have no idea, i've never seen this before on yt
It didn't pass. It should have. The Democrats had the votes originally but the bill was originally co-sponsored by 7 House members that switch last minute.
What issues can there be because these people are Americans. This i why nothing gets done in Congress!!!
Did i hear “mister spanker” ???
Take it to the supreme court.
This aged very well!
@@maroonedexplorer6622 😂😂😂
They got caught and still went with it 😂. Mister speaker head ahh!
My good old congressman in the chair, making a fool of himself.
At least he’s not your senator! Or Loeffler and Perdue!
@@dingers5days the only chairs loeffler and purdue will be sitting in are at their kitchen tables at home :)
Mr. Speaker Sir, Mr. Speaker Sir.... somebody do a remix! 😂😂
Is that John Cena next to the inquirer?
What party does the guy objecting belong to? Is it that big of a deal that they can not just show in the records who changed their vote to satisfy this guy? And why are people in the background making noises? It sounds like a bunch of whining in the background. I’m so confused.
The Member objecting is Democrat Steny Hoyer from Maryland. He's been in The House since 1981 I believe. No, I believe they can't just reference the records as questions need to be addressed to the Member appointed for the proceedings for the day which is determined by the House Speaker for whichever Party is in control. The person advising the man at the desk in front of flag on the left side of your screen is the House Parliamentarian. This was during the 114th Congress and we're now in the 116th which is from 1/2/2019-to late December of 2020. The new 117th Congress will begin on 1/3, 1/4/2021. People in the background are making noises because they object to the procedure of the call.
What does NV stand for? Does anyone know? I'm assuming it stands for Not Voting??
Not voting
Click bait
This rowdy group sounds like a high school pep rally.
hey I just saw my congresswoman
Some humans don't know who they are.
Right on Right on Right on
Can someone explain to a non American what’s happening here? Serious question
They lost and crying about IT 😂
What happened was going into the vote the Democrats had enough Republican Co-Sponsors to pass the bill. Then at the last minute, time for voting had expired and 7 of those republicans switched their votes to “Nays” but didn’t actually go to the well of the house to do so.
I think shame is universal word in parliament
Who was the Speaker then?
Paul Ryan
UK parliament is ten times chaotic. This is pathetic.
@jaqan love yeah, I guess so. It's not as divided as the US, but yeah it still chaotic. But I'm not a reliable source, because I'm not British.
all them goons do is fuss, we need new government, somebody with common sense.
Stop voting Democrat
Stop voting Democrat
Stop voting democrat.
And start voting socialism
@@jmmh1313 you got the right name Moron, look it up.
These comments are disgusting...
+David Williams are you implying that lgbt people are disgusting?
+David Williams I have morals!? You run around calling people "homofacist" but have no evidence that they are indeed a homofacist. Telling me I have no concept of morality is just disrespectful, and I can say the same thing about you.
+David Williams pray tell, what is a homofascist.

-"promoting homosexuality" no, activists are promoting homosexual RIGHTS.
(for example they're not saying "be gay!", they're saying "accept that people are gay and give them the same rights!")
- I've never heard of these "sensitivity classes", as a person who is still in school I can assure you that the closest I've gotten to that is a single page in a health booklet that explains what homosexuality and bisexuality is, and another page explaining what being transgender is, and even that wasn't until 6th grade
-"the truth" what is that referring to?
99% percent of this is made up to demonize gay people and lgbtq allies and give them an *ahem* "big, SCARY name!" like "homofacist"
They are disgusting
Yea. Mr speaker
Adult daycare
the US House of Representatives should conduct their self in a profession manner if they cant act as professions go away
Okay come on with the changes
Australian Parliament is way better.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Funny this happened less than a year before Obama left office.
He asked the speaker the same question several times and no reply. I admit this is the first time I've watched a House of Representatives video (will be checking out some more) and what I've seen so far is a ridiculous farce compared to Britain's House of Commons or Ireland's Dáil Éireann. I've looked up "House of Commons funny moments" and "Dáil Éireann funny moments" and looking up "House of Representatives funny moments" this video is the first result??? Oh Jesus Christ!
This takes me back to third grade elementary.
i never got the thing about deciding whether the ays or nays have it based on.....listening? i must be missing something. that's no way to decide, unless you're rainman and can demonstrate the ability to accurately count that way in an echoing chamber.
Waste of money or what?
Two mins that's mess up for a vote
That man was standing there so he could peep who changed their vote? What a Mean Girl 😅
These people look absolutely miserable
Most of these people are just so hypocrites in almost every issue!!!
Just like if you do not follow a standard law, how you can fix up, "This is morality" or "This is honesty" or "dishonesty"? There must be standard law. And who can give you the law unless he is the greatest authority? So law changes according to different countries, climate, situation. So man-made law cannot give you standard morality, honesty or... It is not possible. Because one will think, "This is morality," another will think, "No, this is not morality." Same thing = "Keep to the left," "Keep to the right." Somebody says, " 'Keep to the left' is right," somebody says " 'Keep to the left,' it is wrong."
Can’t believe my tax money is paying for this circus show
Leave our nation's gays alone. Give them what they want always. They're our most precious resource.
America's gays are too precious to serve in the military and their innocence must be protected at all costs.
Gentlemen, your swamp.
This is why we should get rid of half of congress. So it won't take two weeks to make a decision.
Better yet, let’s get rid of both parties.
Yk i thought house of commons was bad but this is just pure waffle
I was thinking that only our (indian) parliament is entertaining but today i know that every country's parliament is entertaining 😂
Our parliament member are cheering in middle of speech like ". Oooo aademo how dare you , whooooo"😂
YEARLY SCAMMER
The argument of "this bill shouldn't pass because of my religious views" is so stupid, like people can have other beliefs (or have none) lmao, WHICH THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BY THE CONSITUTION. A person should have the choice to be bound by religious beliefs, because unlike religion, homosexuality isn't a choice. Any excuse to prevent happiness and freedom in the LGBT+ community is homophobia, period.
greedy homophobia doesn’t exist because I’m not scared of them
@@liltree8382 You're joking right? So when people say
trypophobia you think they're actually fearing their lives over holes? No, it disturbs them. I hope to God you're joking, you actually can't be this stupid.
greedy You made no point you just listed an actual phobia
@@liltree8382 "an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something." -Google, please us it bruh, a phobia is more than being frightful of something, the thing that causes phobias, could be, dreadful, distaste, obsession, etc. I feel like it's literally only the homophobic people that don't know the true definition to this word.
CLUSTERFUCK!!!!
Jeez this is messy

This will explain how the american election works.
Man this reminds me of the purge movies
MONTICELLO
Look at my former boss Sean Patrick Maloney
scummy.
The United States has encouraged Belarus to conclude and adhere to
agreements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
on the program of macroeconomic stabilization and related reform measures, as
well as to undertake increased privatization and to create a favorable climate
for business and investment. Although there has been some American direct
private investment in Belarus, its development has been relatively slow given
the uncertain pace of reform
how about u treat "europeans"(russians) the same way u treat
arabs mr trump?
uncertain pace of reform means i take ur money and do nothing
shame on the usa
I find it *truly shocking* that a bunch of United States senators would vote against the right of grown men to bugger boys.

Rights? No, privileges that we tolerate. We don't have to any longer!
What do you mean?
@@dustinpasch4161 You wouldn't get it.
US Election Center and why is that? From what I understand is you’re saying lgbt rights are privileges and we do not need to tolerate them. Or you’re referring to the system of these lawmakers who are blatantly abusing their power and their terms are privileges and can be voted out at any point?
Cole Clapperton are you apart of the lgbtq community? Because I agree with you in that regard, lgbtq people DO deserve the same rights and respect as any other person
Cole Clapperton ah ok. My apologies
This was in my recommendations and I thought this would be fun
Man should STOP deciding as if he created this world"LGBT",just read the Bible in the book of Romans chapter 1 verses 24-32,that is God's Word NOT one person in this worlds opinion!!,wheather you choose to accept this or not...it was written over 2000yrs ago
