On July 23, 2020, they also voted for S.4049 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which included the same section text, as section 377.
Senator James M. Inhofe (R-OK), who serves as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had previously told the President, "We’re going to see to it that provision doesn’t survive the bill.". That proved to be a lie. While Senator Inhofe had the ability to have this excluded from the senate bill, he did not.
To quote Gene Kizer, Jr., "They Are WOKE But Soon Will Be Irrelevant".1
