The Inequality Act (HR 5) - which its supporters disingenuously call the "Equality Act" – has passed the House of Representatives. WE NEED TO STOP IT IN THE SENATE.
Why is this bill so bad?
This dangerous and sweeping legislation has nothing to do with equality, and everything to do with coercion and establishing special rights for certain individuals at the expense of the basic constitutional rights of countless other Americans. The bill outrageously declares that the belief – held throughout human history since the dawn of time, and practiced by virtually every major religion – that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman, to be a "sex stereotype." Since sex discrimination would include so-called discrimination based on sex stereotypes, the legislation purports to make acting on one's belief in traditional marriage to be illegal discrimination. The bill opens up intimate shared facilities, like bathrooms and locker rooms, to any individual based on perceived "gender identity" rather than biological sex, which is an invasion of privacy for girls and women. The bill forces female athletes at all levels to compete against biological males with an unfair advantage, eviscerating the intended protections of Title IX meant to provide women and girls a fair playing field in athletic competitions. The bill institutes mandates for radical curriculum that would teach children as young as kindergarten about things like gender dysphoria. The bill would deny medical professionals their basic conscience rights and force them to engage in procedures and treatments like abortion or sexual reassignment surgery even if they hold deep convictions opposed to such actions.
