Last night, the Senate adopted the resolution by voice vote. The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a nearly identical bipartisan resolution in June. To date, neither President Trump nor U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have publicly condemned the atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith unanimous passage of this resolution, the U.S. Senate just sent a powerful message. Despite the deafening silence from the White House, the people of the United States strongly condemn these anti-LGBTQ attacks in Chechnya,\u201d said Ty Cobb, director of HRC Global. \u201cMembers of both parties in both chambers have now condemned the anti-LGBTQ Chechen violence and persecution, and it\u2019s far past time that President Trump and Secretary Tillerson also publicly do so. Given the growing violence and arrests of LGBTQ people around the world, the United States must not back away from leading on LGBTQ human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bipartisan Senate Resolution (S. Res.) 211, which was introduced by Senators Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Ed Markey (D-MA), is nearly identical to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/blog\/u.s.-house-of-representatives-passes-resolution-condemning-atrocities-in-ch\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. House of Representatives resolution unanimously passed in June.<\/a> \u00a0Like the House version, S.
