EQUALITY ACT IS ANTI-CHRISTIAN “Most Comprehensive Attack on Christianity Ever Written Into Law”
https://www.catholicleague.org/equality-act-is-anti-christian/ ^ | February 21, 2023 | Bill Donohue

Posted on 02/23/2021 3:59:56 PM PST by NKP_Vet

Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains why the Equality Act is flawed:

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Equality Act is “about ending discrimination”; President Joe Biden agrees. That may be its intent, but its effect is to promote the most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.

This explains why the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has been fighting this proposed law for years. Most recently it said the Equality Act “would discriminate against people of faith.” The Catholic League and many other civil rights and religious organizations have also sounded the alarm.

The Equality Act has two major goals: it would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity to the definition of sex; it would also undermine the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by allowing gay rights to trump religious rights.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act was primarily motivated by a desire to end racial segregation. It banned discrimination based on race, sex or national origin. That was it. It said absolutely nothing about sexual orientation, and it certainly didn’t address transgender rights—it wasn’t even a concept in the 1960s. Adding sexual orientation and gender identity to this law not only violates the intent of the legislation, it unduly burdens houses of worship and other religious organizations.

Catholic League Calls Equality Act ‘Most Comprehensive Assault on Christianity Ever Written Into Law’

The continuous glorification of sodomy is from the devil and is 100% out of the communist playbook.

This passes and no one’s children will be safe from predators.
It will do away with the sex offender list.

Remember 25 years ago. All we heard was “we just want to be left alone in the privacy of the bedroom”. That has turned into homosexuality as a system of government, children being indoctrinated in schools, churches forced to hire them in their programs, the military glorifying them, and us pushing it on other nations on earth. The butt sex banner literally flies on our embassies beside the flag of the former USA.

Pedophilia is a sexual orientation! Make them defend pedophilia! Make them defend the right of every pedophile within the country to have access to every minor child in our country! If they are for this then let them be judged by their constituents. If they do not support pedophilia then they are BIGOTS! Make them defend bestiality! It is a sexual orientation! Don’t let up on them!

Homosexual acts should have always remained illegal. Medical mutilations presented as sex reassignment (an absurdity if ever there was one) should likewise have remained illegal.

Perverts and lunatics should not play any role in deciding what is considered normal.

This is a bill looking for a problem which is not there. There are plenty of religious organizations gay and lesbian people can join, the Universal Unitarians for example. The others require celibacy if you are not in a heterosexual relationship.

If we had a normal Supreme Court this would be found flatly unconstitutional. But then again nobody is holding out hope they would even hear a challenge to this legislation.

If a child grows into adulthood thinking of himself to actually be Napoleon, Lincoln or Elvis you know he has mental problems.

If he believes himself to be Charlie Manson or Jack the Ripper you lock him in a mental institution before he hurts someone.

If one day decides he is Goldilocks, suddenly everyone must pander to his delusions, and if you don’t you are excoriated from modern society. I just got 30 days in FB jail-again for posting on that subject.

Is there really any difference between Ed Gein, Norman Bates, and some tranny who butchers himself to become a “woman”?

Well, it’s only logical. Religious rights are only mentioned briefly in passing, while gay rights constitute a time-honored part of our government’s founding documents and history.

Most Bills through Congress mean exactly opposite from their title. This one is no exception.

"Perverts and lunatics should not play any role in deciding what is considered normal."

That no longer applies. Now the Senate and House a glutted with perverted lunatics and traitors, who are also sitting in the White House and the Cabinet. And their decisions are reported by perverts and lunatics in the enemydia.

And we owe it all to the perverts, lunatics and flatliners who voted for them.

Thank you for referencing that article NKP_Vet. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.


"According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Equality Act is “about ending discrimination”; President Joe Biden agrees."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

We don’t need politically correct “equality” protections beyond the constitutionally enumerated voting rights protections that we already have imo, particularly the 15th and 19th Amendments which protect legal voting citizens on basis of race and sex.

In fact, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect discrimination issues outside the scope of voting rights issues, Biden and Pelosi are irresponsibly overreaching Congress’s constitutionally limited powers by pushing the Equality Act imo.

”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.

In other words, the Equality Act would be just another unconstitutional expansion of federal government powers that Pelosi and many other desperate Democrats in both Houses of Congress would deserve to lose their jobs for under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment imo.

"14th Amendment, Section 3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same [emphasis added], or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
