The "Equality Act" (H.R. 5) passed by the House overrules the truth about being created male and female and must be stopped. Contact your U.S. Senators today and ask them to oppose the deceptive "Equality Act"!
We know that the real effect of this legislation is not acceptance, tolerance, equality, or allowing people to “be who they are,” the "Equality Act" erases women and endangers children.
The deceptively-named "Equality Act" amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by changing the definition of “sex” to include sexual orientation and "gender identity". It redefines the immutable, biological reality of being male or female, to an unscientific, self-declared perception or feeling of "gender identity" and elevates this category to the highest threshold of protected classes—along with race, color, religion and national origin .
"Gender identity" is the gender that you feel is right for you. It has no physical requirements, no XX or XY chromosome distinction, it is all based on a feeling that can change. The bill doesn’t mention individuals with clinically diagnosed gender dysphoria or undertaking surgical or hormonal transition, thus making clear that self-declared gender identity would be sufficient to claim protected legal status.
The so-called "Equality Act" would cement this radical gender ideology into federal law, threatening the minds and bodies of children in health care and education and endangering the privacy and safety of women and girls without any recourse for conscience protections because the bill repeals religious freedom protections.
The "Equality Act" would:
--force public facilities to allow men and boys who identify as women or girls to use the same bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, domestic violence shelters, and prisons as females.
--force employers to hire or assign men who identify as women to jobs requiring sensitivity to the physical privacy rights of women and girls such as intimate medical examinations, airport security pat-downs, strip searches, or supervision of overnight school field trips.
--force female athletes to compete against biological males, denying them a fair playing field in sports competitions.
--force parents to consent to "gender affirmation" treatment for their children.
The "Equality Act" is reckless and extreme. Please contact your Senators today!
