Of course, those 7 Republicans were just the group that SWITCHED votes. There's an even longer list to be made of all the Republicans who voted against this bill from the beginning.

The only Republicans who supported the bill:

Justin Amash, Mike Coffman, Ryan Costello, Carlos Curbelo, Charlie Dent (Co-Sponsor), Mario Diaz-Balart, Robert Dold, Dan Donovan, Tom Emmer (WTF?), Mike Fitzpatrick, Rodney Frelinghuysen, Chris Gibson, Richard Hanna, Joe Heck, Will Hurd, David Jolly, John Katko, Leonard Lance, Frank LoBiondo, Tom MacArthur, Martha McSally, Pat Meehan, Erik Paulsen, Dave Reichert, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Tom Reed, Elise Stefanik, Fred Upton, Lee Zeldin

Matt Salmon, Sam Johnson, and Jaime Herrera Beutler (Who gave birth today) were absent.

Notable names I see missing from that list: Barbara Comstock, Rod Blum, Cresent Hardy, Steve Knight, Scott Garrett, Tim Walberg, Frank Guinta, and Mike Bishop.

A lot of the Republicans PA, NY, and NJ are in the pro-GLBT group.  Charlie Dent is my former congressman, he's from Lehigh Valley, and one of the few Republicans that is a FF.  It's nice to see some young Republicans -- Justin Amash, Ryan Costello, and Elise Stefanik -- on that list.  All of the Republicans on this list come from states that the President won in 2008 and 2012 except one person - TX's Will Hurd.
