Equality Act Expected to Advance in Congress This Week: 'It Treats People of Faith as Second-Class Citizens'

WASHINGTON – The Equality Act is expected to advance in Congress this week. It's a controversial bill designed to overhaul the nation's civil rights laws to include LGBT Americans, but many worry it will trample on the rights of women and people of faith.

Under the Equality Act, disagreement is considered discrimination. It includes gay marriage, biological males competing in women's sports, and doctors performing procedures - like gender reassignments - that go against their conscience.
 
It's a bill President Joe Biden wants to sign during his first 100 days.

"The Equality Act provides long overdue federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, preventing discrimination in our housing, education, public services, and lending systems. I urge Congress to swiftly pass this historic legislation," Biden tweeted.

I think it's legalized perversion. But on the other hand, millions of fools who will feel the effects and be horrified by this thing stupidly voted Democrat to begin with. I don't feel sorry for them.

Maybe this will wake some people up.
