The Florida representative's amendment would have banned the American military from using federal funds on diversity, equity and inclusion training.
Unlike several other Republican-backed amendments tacked on to the National Defense Authorization Act , this proposal was beaten by 221 to 210, with no Democrats voting in favor.
Gaetz's proposal was one of several Republican amendments to the bill that have angered Democrats, thus raising doubt about whether what is usually a bipartisan bill will be able to complete its passage through. In other amendment votes on Thursday, the GOP-controlled House backed measures seeking to prohibit the military from covering travel expenses for personnel seeking an abortion, and from providing gender-related surgery as well as hormone treatment for transgender people.

Gaetz proposal to prohibit the use of federal funds for Defense Department training on diversity, equity, and inclusion training was defeated Thursday.:"What I bring to the House right now is the most wholesome amendment to completely remove DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion training] from the DOD [Department of Defense].
"Even if this amendment doesn't pass I want my colleagues to know that this NDAA in the base bill takes a meat clever to DEI and the amendments we have adopted in the last round of voting certainly ensure that DEI...will not be a principle feature of our military service if this bill becomes law and that would be a great thing for our military."
