The misnamed “Equality Act” will coerce EVERYONE to promote LGBTQ and abortion.

This bill applies to every church, school, medical provider, pastor, teacher, landlord, business, employee, parent—the list is endless. It applies to anyone providing a “good, service or program.” Yes, it even applies to an occasional sale online and to every website. There will be no escape—this bill applies to YOU.

This bill will force everyone to comply with its radical demands. It will force you to celebrate and promote LGBT and Q—and abortion-on-demand all nine months. Your silence is not allowed, you must celebrate these sins, or face the full weight of the U.S. government punishing you.

I’ll share one legislator’s shocking comment below. Radicals are desperate for the control this bill will give them, but we can block this bill in the Senate. We can—and must—stop this bill. Rush your urgent fax to the Senate to stop the “Equality Act.” —Mat

You cannot run or hide from the so-called “Equality Act.” You cannot go underground to get away from it. Locking the doors to your home (or becoming a hermit in your home) doesn't protect you. If you have a website or profile online, sell or shop online, or just send out emails, this bill still applies to YOU, even inside your castle!

Schoolteachers will not be able to refer to students by their biological gender pronouns. Churches, schools (indeed—any place) will be unable to keep boys or men out of girls’ or women’s locker rooms, dormitories or showers or off their sports teams. On overnight trips, with no notice, young girls could be forced to room with young biological boys, and no one will be able to stop it.

Even homeschooling will not protect young children against this bill’s mandates because all the curriculum providers will have to follow its bidding.

“Sensitivity training” (forced compliance) will become commonplace. Objectors will be punished.

Liberty Counsel Action would be without proper defense against this bill. We could lose our voice, our nonprofit status and our impact on our nation. Our website—even these emails—will be affected by the “Equality Act.”

WE MUST STOP THIS BILL! Send your fax to the Senate to stop the "Equality Act" from endangering your freedom of speech.

Churches have always enjoyed the highest level of freedom in America.

Until now.

The “Equality Act” will strip churches of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)! There can be zero “religious freedom” defense against abortion or LGBT and Q behaviors. Faith-based hospitals will be forced to abort children, mutilate the bodies of healthy men and women who are gender confused and prescribe drugs to do the same.

Shockingly, this bill allows lawsuits even if the person is not actually practicing LGBTQ behaviors. They can file a discrimination charge against your “belief” or “perceptions.” Even if they are not LGBTQ, anyone can allege they were discriminated against because you thought they associated in the past with someone who is LGBTQ. Section 2(12) says people can sue based on "perceptions or beliefs.” It applies to “actual or perceived” - in other words, it can apply to real and imaginary situations. And it is not limited to a “physical facility or place.”

So, people who DO NOT identify as LGBTQ can still use this bill to drag churches, organizations or you through endless litigation. The process itself is the punishment.

This bill explicitly states the Religious Freedom Restoration Act shall not provide a claim or a defense. No religious freedom here!

This bill strips places of worship—and anyone—of religious freedom. Remember Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor who objected to abortion-inducing drugs and devices? They won under RFRA. They will not win under the “Equality Act.”

During debate on the “Equality Act,” House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated, “...God’s will, is no concern of this Congress.” What a shameful and shocking statement! How far our nation has fallen.

This bill will isolate people of faith from their communities and remove opportunities to share their beliefs. It will provide massive punishments for people who have the courage to stand up. Imagine “United States of America v. [Your Name, Your Church or School].”

This bill turns people of faith into law violators. That's why I'm asking you to act now by faxing the Senate to oppose this outrageous bill and protect your family's freedom.

Our senators have a real path to block this bill.

There is bipartisan support to keep the filibuster (for now). This requires 60 votes to vote on the bill. The Democrats do not have 60 votes. That’s the good news. But they will try to slip this bill through late at night or an early morning on a majority “voice vote.” We are working with senators to guard the floor every minute of the day until the lights are turned off so we can object. One objection will force a full vote.

WE CAN STOP THE “EQUALITY ACT” IN THE SENATE. But we must act now.

Our staff in D.C. has already been able to explain the dangers of this bill to members of Congress who then decided to vote against the bill. We are working tirelessly. But we need you to sign the petition, fax, call and get the word out. Please share the information that is available at LCAction.org/HR5.
