”If passed into law, the Equality Act would undermine religious liberty by gutting the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and elevating the contested categories of sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes under federal law. Given the Biden administration’s aggressive support for the legislation, Southern Baptists believed it was necessary to go on record in opposition to one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation proposed in Congress.”

The Equality Act attempts to exercise legislative power proposed under the “Equal Rights Amendment” which was wisely rejected by the American people, and thus, to this degree, the Act is an attempted usurpation of legislative power not granted.
Equality Act is about normalizing sexual deviant behavior . . . nothing more!

The ringleaders behind the Equality Act are very clever in presenting the Act as legitimate federal legislation similar to that adopted to end distinctions in law based upon race. But unlike the Civil Rights Act of 1875 ___ intended to assert an equal treatment of all men before the law ___ the Equality Act is not about asserting equal treatment among mankind before the law. The Act is a bold attempt to normalize sexual behavior expressions and proclivities and forbid the public at large to make distinctions in their daily social, religious and commercial activities to avoid sexual deviant behavior, expressions and proclivities which are found to be offensive by some, and participated in and enjoyed by others.
The absurd and obnoxious idea is to elevate and classify sexual deviant behavior, expressions and proclivities as a “federally protected” subject matter, and forbidding the States and public at large to make distinctions in their daily lives based upon sexual deviant behavior, expressions and proclivities, found to be offensive.
Why is there so much support tor this?

If the Equality Act, should ever become a federal “rule of law”, it would not only subvert the human right of the majority of American citizens to be free to mutually agree in their social, religious and commercial activities ___ it would allow federal bureaucrats to dictate almost every aspect of the American peoples’ social and commercial activities.
