"We'll see what happens."
Meanwhile, the issue of gay rights returns to Capitol Hill this week. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a bill to prevent employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The measure has the backing of majority Democrats as well as President Obama.
White House Spokesman Jay Carney: "We're making clear to every senator who may be on the fence or may not have expressed support for that we've strongly believed that a 'yes' vote is the right vote on this legislation."
Should it pass the Senate, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act's fate in the Republican-led House of Representatives is far from clear. In many U.S. states, gay people have no legal recourse if they are fired on the basis of sexual orientation.在这样一个传统上倾向于民主党的州，克里斯蒂的成功引起了整个国家的关注。并且有预测称，他将会参加2016年的总统竞选，这位州长并不排除这种可能性。"让我们拭目以待。"
同时，同性恋权利问题本周也回到了国会山的讨论桌上。美国参议院将就一项杜绝就业中的性取向歧视的议案进行投票。这项举措已经得到了奥巴马总统在内的大部分民主党人士的支持。
白宫发言人杰伊·卡尼说：“对于保持中立或者还未声援此项议案的议员们，我们要向他们讲明的是，我们坚信赞成票才是正确的决定。”
如果此项“拒绝就业歧视”法案在参议院获准通过，共和党人领导的众议院能否通过还是个未知数。在美国许多个州，如果同性恋者因性取向遭到解雇，他们无法寻求律援助。
