The Alliance Defending Freedom, a powerhouse of civil and religious rights advocacy, has joined other groups in denouncing the Equality Act proposed in the Democratic-majority House as a threat to faith.
“Essentially, the Equality Act gives people of faith an ultimatum: Change your faith-based practices or face government punishment,” wrote ADF’s Sarah Kramer.
WND reported it would amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit and the jury system.
And it would specifically prevent Christians from relying on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to uphold their religious rights.
Washington watchdog Judicial Watch has warned it would effectively eliminate single-sex “public multi-stall bathrooms, domestic violence or rape crisis shelters, drug rehabilitation centers, jails, juvenile detention facilities, homeless shelters, locker rooms or group showers.”
The Equality Act also was criticized by leaders such as James Dobson of the James Dobson Family Institute.
He warned, “Make no mistake – the so-called Equality Act is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to finish off religious liberty in America once and for all, which ought to be plainly obvious based upon a cursory reading of the First Amendment.”
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said during congressional discussion that religious rights protected by the First Amendment never should be used as a defense in a conflict with LGBT rights.
ADF said that while “equality” may “sound nice to some ears, this bill actually poses a devastating and unprecedented threat to religious freedom and the progress that women have made toward true equal treatment in law and culture.”

oh nooo NOOO we don’t want to infringe your religious rights... we just want to make gay marriage legal and it wouldn’t affect the first amendment to practice your religion as you see fit.
CW-II.
The SOBs want it sooner, so so be it.

We will all suffer for this, whether Christian or not. Sadly, the people that will suffer the most are women and children.
Christians get their marching order from a much higher Authority than the congress of the United States. We obey all laws that do not conflict with Scripture. As long as this country has a Constitution, we are legally protected.
How long this country will continue to acknowledge that document is up for debate, but not whether or not we will walk according to God’s Word.
F the rats.

BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR A## THAT MUSLIMS WILL BE EXEMPT.
F them all, Mr President please unleash the kraken on these criminal bastards, crush them into dust
Sooo, how does the Party of Perversion and Mental Illness plan to get this through the Senate or to get President Trump to sign it?
There is one thing the radical left are good at - long term planning. They will use it as an opportunity to strategize. Trump won't be president forever and the House and Senate change. They will try to push this down our throats one way or another. If it's not today, it will be tomorrow. Be alert.
Why do you blame Kramer? She and the ADF ***oppose*** this “equality” act.
In Chicago right now. Plan on setting up a cell based worship group.see you in the catacombs Brothers and Sisters
Target has endorsed this bill. If you don’t boycott them it’s time to start.
God, Family, Country. In that order.
Female mujahadeen sue to be allowed to pray in the mosque on the main floor instead of the basement.
Something which will not get past the Senate. Meanwhile Barr prepares countless indictments for treason and other crimes against them which will come forward and stick.
FIRST : Afghan Air Force pilot training program in US ends after nearly half go AWOL
NEXT : Democrats preparing ultimatum for people of faith
Somehow, these two, in the order they appeared on my screen, say something without reading the content....
We say : Love thy neighbor
They say: If neighbor won’t convert, KILL HIM..(AND it’s OK to lie anytime to an infidel....)
