Males identifying as females and using women's locker rooms. Faith-based adoption and foster agencies required to place children with same-sex couples. Florists and bakers forced to fill orders for same-sex weddings. Critics say these are just a few of the potential results if The Equality Act becomes law. "Every American should be treated with dignity and respect, but our laws need to protect the Constitutionally guaranteed rights that we have," says Greg Baylor from Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian organization which advocates for religious freedom. ADF is currently handling cases in numerous states where laws like The Equality Act already exist. If The Equality Act passes, Baylor says, "we will see a proliferation of instances where Christians and others are being coerced to violate their beliefs in order to comply with such a law." While introducing the bill, Democrat lawmakers talked about making the protection of same-sex individuals a priority over other Constitutional freedoms.
"We cannot allow claims of religious freedom to be used to discriminate against an LGBT individual," said Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI).

It won’t become law but it will further damage the rats going into 2020. This is more reason to vote against them. Don’t waste time trying to change their black hearts on this bill. Use that energy to fight them next year.
There is no such thing has a transgender person. You are either a male or a female. Females can not become males and males can not become females.
Nobody cares what two consenting adults do in private just don’t tell us that your perversions are normal or moral.
Exactly, nothing “affordable” nor “empowering” about those laws either.
If they are going to make it illegal to insult the little fairies, might as well go all out. Careful what you vote for, Democrats.
That’s the objective.
To defeat this insanity everyone must claim to be transexual and at the same time come out as homosexual.
We must not let sexual predators deny our Constitutional rights
“Where are the Armenians? The Assyrians? The Copts? The Ethiopians? The Malankara/Indian Orthodox? The Knanayas?”
Never thought about this until you mentioned it. Could it be that each of these (including Greek and Russian and Every Other)Orthodox spent centuries under the thumb of despots(Czars)or despotic faiths like Islam/Hindi or the Tartars?
Maybe anyone/most with a spine were eliminated from the gene pool.
No longer is there such a thing as a Christian Democrat.
If not a thug, the average Democrat is a delusional jackass.
What about murderers and rapists?
I like it when the world hates Christians. It just takes me to God’s Word where He said that is exactly what will happen.
Thanks Tried doing it don’t have the knowhow and the tech stuff to to it maybe there’s a FR around who can
19th Amendment:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
But just as misguided Speaker Pelosi led the House to pass Obamacare with no express constitutional authority to do so, Pelosi has likewise unthinkingly introduced the so-called Equality Act with no express constitutional authority to do so.
More specifically, since 19A is the only constitutionally enumerated right that protects on the basis of sex, Congress is limited to making laws that protect sex on issues reasonably related to voting rights imo.
In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court Justices had put it this way about the federal governments constitutionally limited powers.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
All that confused imo career lawmaker Pelosi is seemingly trying to do by introducing Equality Act is to exploit low-information women by winning their votes so that she can stay in power, such women probably never taught about the feds constitutionally limited powers.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA!
As a side note to this post, consider the following video of Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi on Smear Tactics
Wrong. Christians will be forced to obey God, even if it means being persecuted for it.
The world is evil. Why is anyone surprised by such legislation?
I thought the Constitution says Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion,OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXCERCISE THEREOF.
What are you trying to do? Put that image on a custom made bumper sticker?
If so, you should be able to just upload the original image to any such website that would offer such a service. It should then automatically scale (as it looks like the dimensions are correct).
THE EQUALITY ACT is unconstitutional.
