The current law in civil rights and the protected classes are inborn and unchangeable characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, etc., and religion, which is expressly protected under the constitution, Waddell said. What the Equality Act does is it turns it on its head and allow the government to impose a belief system about sexual decisions and sexual behaviors on the nation. Waddell said if the bill comes up for a vote, the group will certainly be part of the opposition.
The House bill has 198 co-sponsors, including two Republicans. But no Senate Republicans have signed on, and social conservatives oppose the legislation. And even if the bill cleared Congress, it would still have to be signed by President Donald Trump, who has aligned himself closely with religious conservatives.
Still, Democrats plan to move forward with the bill if they win the House majority, teeing up a test of the GOPs willingness to block it. Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said the legislation will be given a low bill number, meaning it would be among the first pieces of legislation to be introduced.
Hammill described such a designation as a place of honor.
QUICK! AN ELECTION IS COMING! PROMISE THE HOMO’S SOMETHING ....
She’s so delusional that she thinks that reminding the electorate of the Dem party’s embrace of sexual freakery as one of their top issues (along with erasing our borders) right before the midterms will help them take over the House.
“Rights” means they take away the right to disagree. Orwellian
Nancy must be scrounging for gay votes then.
The Good news is that if the Dems. win the House, any legislation they might pass has to be passed by the Republican Senate and if that happens signed into Law by President Trump. which makes them a useless body.
There are a lot of gays who dont even support the LGBTQ movement, especially the T.
I want a political equality law.
These insipid civil rights laws have done only one thing. Give privileged status to politically chosen groups of people and caused a class based society in America where its now rational to claim being part of a protected group to get benefits. (See Elizabeth Warren - see Pelosi - are California where you now get a job if youre a woman because they have to show a percentage of female employees regardless of merit)
If anything the civil rights law needs to be reverted and rights for ALL Americans must be treated equally.
Bake the cake for gay weddings but deny conservatives the right to eat at restaurants - this is the America Pelosi loves and wants.
Conservatives should do much more than just stop this, they should fight to roll back the entire “Snivel rights” amendment as far as it affects private business. It should only ensure a right of citizens to vote and access public primary education.
So, let’s assess the quote
Does enhancing the gay vote actually produce more antigay votes?
GOP needs to make sure every American voter knows about this!
Niche bills are such a turn off to the average voter. This is desperation time for the dems.
LOL! Has to pass the Senate too, and get signed by the President.
Not going to happen. The Democrats know this, but are hoping the Queers don't.
Not sure how pandering to the 2% works that well.
In the public, virtue signaling gets a multiplier effect but this crap won’t play in Real America.
Veto.
Going nowhere.
That’s not helping your chances, Nan.
A gift to the trial lawyers, and a threat for the rest of us to be so fearful of mere accusations, that society becomes more withdrawn and less open. (Guaranteed to spike that misery index thingy.)
Never anything about putting food on somebody’s table always about homosexual this, abortion that, inclusiveness bullshit
There is nothing in the Constitution to justify making such a bill.
So just as she did with unconstitutional Obamacare imo, misguided Pelosi is once again planning to unconstitutionally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal governments powers to win LGBTQ votes for Democrats.
Patriots need to send Pelosi home on election day.
I am a big fan of LGBTQ rights. The LGBTQIDIOTs have the same God-given rights under the Bill of Rights as all other Americans have - no more, and no less. As for special rights, which is what they are demanding, no chance.
If this garbage passes the House and the Senate (highly unlikely), President Trump should hold a hugh rally and veto the bill by signing it at the podium.
Libs would go nuts, normal people would applaud.
