Equality Act

Leading 2020 White House contender and former Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday pledged to prioritize the Equality Act as his first piece of legislation if elected president. 

As Congress begins debating the Equality Act, the Heritage Foundation warns that if the bill becomes law it will prove the death knell for women’s sports.

The president of Family Research Council said Thursday morning at a press conference on Capitol Hill the Democrats’ Equality Act (H.R. 5) is “an egregious attack” on religious liberty with an “Orwellian reach” from which no faith organization will be able to escape.

A large number of Democrat politicians in Congress want to take away the power of local schools to make their own rules, regarding gender and sports. House Democrats overwhelmingly voted for a bill on Wednesday, that would force all schools to allow boys who claim to be transgender, to compete against natural-born female competitors.

The federal government must regulate behavior by 330 million Americans to protect the freedom of transgender people, says progressive Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

Three leaders of the U.S. Bishops Conference (USCCB) have written a joint letter to the members of the House of Representatives in opposition to the Equality Act, which, they say, “would impose sweeping regulations to the detriment of society as a whole.”

House Democrats introduced the Equality Act last week, a measure that would ensure gender ideology — i.e., transgender bathrooms, forced preferred pronoun use, and biological men playing women’s sports, etc. — is cemented into federal law.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) allies are slamming Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH), a potential challenger, for being on the wrong side of LGBT issues as they seek to undercut Fudge’s potential candidacy.
