Hello Friends,
The House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing April 2 on HR5, the Equality Act.
This bill would amend the Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity. This act poses a serious threat to religious freedom, state independence and women’s rights. The vague wording of this bill could be interpreted to force churches to accommodate same-sex marriages. Those with same-sex attraction who seek reparative therapy would be denied access as it would be considered a form of discrimination against LGBT individuals. Because the word “sex” would be interpreted to include sexual orientation and gender identity, women could lose the safety of female restrooms, locker rooms and shelters.
We cannot stress the serious nature of HR5. The use of the word “equality” belies the dangerous consequences of the bill which restricts freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the rights of women.
This legislation must be stopped. Please call the members of the Judiciary Committee and let them know you are opposed to the Equality Act, HR5.
Faithfully for Families,
Tori Black, President
