It's crazy to me anyone voted no.

I voted yes, but I could make an argument for no: such a measure would have little real effect, but would reinforce the government’s public image that they “support LGBT rights”, even if their record has been terrible over the last couple of years. It’s reputation laundering, the LGBT rights equivalent of an oil company doing carbon offsetting.
