Dems Plan to Push Tyrannical Equality Act

One thing we have to look forward to if Democrats take Congress is the LGBTQ “Equality Act,” which Nancy Pelosi has promised to advance with high priority:

The act would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which already bars discrimination on the bases of race, color, sex, religion, and nationality. The Equality Act would expand those protections beyond the workplace. The bill would prohibit gender discrimination in retail shops, restaurants, health care, and social services, housing, applying for a loan, or participating in the jury selection process.

The word “equality” is used because superficially it sounds fair and reasonable. But in reality, “equal” means “more equal.” The fundamental right of freedom of association is denied not on behalf of regular people, but on behalf of people who are deemed special by the government — like militant perverts.

One of the biggest issues conservatives have with the Equality Act is a provision in the law that forbids any employer or retailer from citing their faith to withhold services from LGBT individuals, a right guaranteed in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act passed in 1993. The Equality Act would essentially bypass the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and make it illegal for religious business owners to refuse service.

Christian bakers, photographers, and filmmakers who would have to betray their faith to take part in ceremonies they regard as sacrilegious will be denied their First Amendment right to practice their religion. How lucky for Muslims that no one will apply this to them, since they are favored too.

This is tyranny on steroids. The radicalized Democrat agenda consists of little else.
