21 House Republicans Wave the Pink and Blue Flag (Transgender rights)
National Review ^ | 11.21.21 | Nate Hochman

Posted on 11/21/2021 6:28:00 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

The Fairness For All Act (FFAA), an all-Republican bill that would make sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) a federally protected class in return for certain “right to discriminate” carve-outs for dissenting religious institutions, was originally introduced in 2019 by Representative Chris Stewart of Utah. Stewart, whose district went for Donald Trump by 16 points in 2020 — up two from 14 points in 2016 — reintroduced the bill at the outset of the 2021 congressional session with the backing of such well-known Republicans as Elise Stefanik, Nancy Mace, and Burgess Owens. This is the full list of the FFAA’s co-sponsors:

Chris Stewart (Utah) Fred Upton (Mich.) Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) John Curtis (Utah) Mark Amodei (Nev.) Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) Andrew Garbarino (N.Y.) Blake Moore (Utah) Burgess Owens (Utah) Carlos Gimenez (Fla.) Chris Jacobs (N.Y.) Claudia Tenney (N.Y.) Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) Jenniffer González-Colón (P.R.) Maria Salazar (Fla.) Mario Díaz-Balart (Fla.) Mike Simpson (Idaho) Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.) Steve Stivers (Ohio) Tom Reed (N.Y.)

This is what I get. NRPLUS member article

I do use a VPN but I'm not turning it off to the neverTrumper RINO NR

To Tead the Full Story at the bottom left is not a link to join so... butanyway. I have no use for NR.

Can't really trust politicians or the msm or NR and with that excerpt, I can't tell what the Act is really about. I'll have to read the bill I guess.

Why a flag for such a thing? A rival nationalism?

Thankfully, the deviant left will NEVER stand for any carveouts for the Christian faith, so this bill is DOA.

People that can have their votes bought through pandering are just like the woman who says she won’t sleep with a man for five dollars, but would for a million. As the old saying goes “We already know what you are, now we’re just negotiating a price”.

So “sexual orientation and gender identity” becomes a special class requiring special protection, special privileges, special everything. That means that if I say a transgender lives in a make-believe world and in need of special psychiatric treatment to convince him he was born a male and is still a male, I will be in trouble with the law.

No! enough is enough!

Don’t see Liz Cheney on that list. Therefore we can claim that SHE HATES GAYS and is fine when they’re are discriminated against...and use it against her in the Primary.

Misguided Republican lawmakers unsurprisingly don't seem to understand (blatantly ignore?) the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

More specifically, the only sex-related protection in the Constitution limits federal sex protection laws to voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment (19A).

In fact, instead of the Supreme Court advising Virginia Minor to claim to be a man so that she could vote in a state that prohibited women from voting in the 19th century, the Court simply sided with the state, indicating that she couldn't vote under state law because she was a biological woman at birth.

Consider that her effort to vote led to the ratification of 19A.

So Republicans are foolishly following in the footsteps of likewise Constitution-ignoring Democratic lawmakers, unthinkingly expanding the federal government's powers to try to get reelected by promoting a politically correct bill based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.

These so-called Republicans need to be primaried imo.

Insights welcome.

The ultimate remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic Party-pirated federal and state governments manufacturing crises to oppress everybody under their boots...

Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Again, insights welcome.
