WASHINGTON, D.C. – It weakens religious protections for employers, effectively ends women’s sports, handcuffs hospitals and doctors to mysticism over medical science, and will force the Woke Dogma of Transgenderism down our throats with the power of the federal government. All in the name of ‘Equality.’
The Equality Act, one of the most prominent examples of extremism from modern day Democrats, passed the U.S. House Thursday, and N.C. Republicans are speaking out:
Pastors and faith leaders, the Equality Act is what the old gospel preacher warned you about years ago. It’s past time to educate and engage against the radical plan designed for your church and your charities. If you dare to maintain a Biblical world view, it’s your move.

The so-called Equality Act is “the triumph of cancel culture over facts, reason, and empirical knowledge.”
Very good piece from @EmilieTHF. https://t.co/3KfR5krGJ0

I voted NO because:
❌Restricts parental consent & involvement in a child’s decision to have gender transition therapy.
❌Stops doctors from using medical advice on life-altering gender transition medical services.
❌Sets back Female Athletic protections
More Abortion funding https://t.co/iN8vkmppJj

The House passed the Equality Act yesterday by a narrow margin, mostly along party lines with 3 Republicans joining w/ the Democrats in voting for this dangerous legislation. Now it will go before the Senate. https://t.co/ST1uYliIDq

It is imperative that we pray and let our senators & @POTUS @JoeBiden know that you do not support the Equality Act & that you are asking them to vote NO.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 rightly ended the exclusion of an entire class of Americans from our country’s economic life. The misnamed Equality Act reverses that & threatens to cancel all who won’t embrace the left’s radical agenda. This isn’t equality. It’s persecution. pic.twitter.com/Sa7OzUPaj8

It’s an open question as to if the Equality Act will pass the 50-50 Senate. There maybe enough common sense and decency left among select Senate Democrats that the bill is stopped, but it is not certain.
It’s hard to overstate the extreme ramifications of this deceptively simple piece of legislation. For more details on what you need to know about this bill, consider this analysis from The Federalist.
