House Democrats Pass “Equality Act” Or Something

This has the lunatic SJW Democrat base and #NeverTrumpers excited

House passes bill to extend civil rights to LGBTQ community

The Equality Act passed the U.S. House on Friday, with eight Republicans breaking rank to vote with Democratic colleagues for legislation supporters say will add needed federal protections in housing, employment and health care to millions of LGBTQ Americans.

However, the legislation is not expected to be brought up for a vote in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, has referred to the upper chamber as a graveyard for progressive measures.

No Democrats voted against the measure, though three Democratic presidential candidates — Reps. Eric Swalwell, Tim Ryan and Seth Moulton — did not cast votes for or against the bill.

The bill bolsters the list of protected classes under the seminal 1964 Civil Rights Act and Fair Housing Act, as well as other civil rights laws, to include for “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” It’s the last class, however, that has drawn the most ire for what critics call its open-endedness.

It’s no surprise Democrats are enthused, as it is a wet dream of their social justice warrioring, but, the Never Trumpers should be ashamed of themselves. They say they support civil protections, but, really, it’s just their Trump Derangement Syndrome that leads to their support of this, just like so many are coming out against many of the anti-abortion laws being passed by Republican legislatures. Their talking points look and sound just like you’d get from Media Matters, Vox, NY Times, and the lunatic elected Democrats. And they haven’t considered what they Equality Act would do for their so-called “libertarian” beliefs (a lot of NT’s are now claiming to be libertarians now instead of Conservatives because TDS).

7 Reasons Why the Equality Act Is Anything But

Most Americans don’t want a nationwide bathroom requirement, health care mandate, or “preferred pronoun” law based on gender identity, but congressional Democrats seem to think it’s time to impose them.

Nancy Pelosi delivered Wednesday on her promise to introduce the so-called Equality Act, which would elevate sexual orientation and gender identity to protected classes in federal anti-discrimination law.

Although that may sound nice in theory, in practice sexual orientation and gender identity policies at the state and local level have caused profound harms to Americans from all walks of life.

How might a sexual orientation and gender identity law on the federal level, as introduced in the House and Senate, affect you and your community? Here are seven ways:

I won’t steal all her thunder, you should read this in full, but, it includes things like

1. It would penalize Americans who don’t affirm new sexual norms or gender ideology.
2. It would compel speech.
3. It could shut down charities.
4. It would allow more biological males to defeat girls in sports.
5. It could be used to coerce medical professionals.
6. It could lead to more parents losing custody of their children.
7. It would enable sexual assault.

Read the material under each bullet point.

The Equality Act defies the purpose of anti-discrimination laws. The original Civil Rights Act was enacted to protect African-Americans from being denied access to material goods and services.

The Equality Act, by contrast, would be used as a sword to attack people and force them to adopt new ideologies about human sexuality.

It’s not about equality, it’s about taking protections away from some people. This is the kind of crap we get from Never Trumpers

See, this is how you do it.

Of course Cocaine Mitch will probably not even allow this to come up for a vote in the Senate https://t.co/vlsvVS3NQO

I don’t always agree with every position the ACLU takes, but I’m glad they exist and I am happy to support them.

This post is one of the reasons why. https://t.co/sIqMrtsUlO

Other NTs are doing similar things in attempting to protect abortion and taking freedom away from citizens in the name of “equality.”
