The House voted 236-173 Friday to pass Democrats’ Equality Act, pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“This is not about tolerance,” Pelosi said in a video posted to Twitter. “This is about respect for our LGBTQ communities, this is about taking pride.”
“We won the fight in the House today, and we will continue until we see these protections become law,” House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., tweeted moments after the bill passed.
The bill, which is not expected to pass the Senate due to its Republican majority, adds sexual orientation and gender identity to characteristics—race, color, religion, sex, or national origin—protected from discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
It received unanimous support from House Democrats and eight votes from Republicans, namely Reps. Susan Brooks of Indiana, Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, John Katko of New York, Tom Reed of New York, Elise Stefanik of New York, and Greg Walden of Oregon.
By inserting sexual orientation and gender identity into current anti-discrimination law, the bill would make hospitals and doctors vulnerable to litigation “if they don’t follow the medical recommendations of the transgender movement,” Emilie Kao, director of The Heritage Foundation’s DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, wrote in a January commentary.
If passed, the Equality Act would hurt women by “dismantling sex-specific facilities, sports, and other female-only spaces,” The Heritage Foundation’s explainer stated, as well as compromise the work of charities, if they were unwilling to open up sex-specific areas, such as bathrooms and housing, to anyone based on gender identity, not sex.
The explainer also said that parents’ rights could be affected by the Equality Act.

No. The goal here is to let crazy dudes in dresses have the “right” to use women’s changing rooms, and it is a violation of their civil rights backed by unlimited lawsuits if you refuse.
It is the weaponization of the unelected bureaucracy to shut down conservative groups that say homosexuals shouldn’t adopt.
It is the door to the federal government taking kids away from parents that don’t go along with a child saying they’re the opposite sex and charging parents with “domestic violence” is they don’t use the child’s chosen pronouns. This isn’t hyperbole - it is what is happening in Canada.

We need a “we’re not crazy caucus” in the house.
I’m sure it will fail in the Senate.
I doubt Trump will sign it.
Thanks for the ping.
“Lucky, I got out of going.”
Dodged a bullet there, for sure.
Yeah, I know ... I said that.
They “japs” were around. FDR rounded up some 120,000 Americans of Japanese decent, confiscated their property and interned them in concentration camps. Liberal’s/progressives all did this. This was in 1941.
