An autistic child is being denied necessary services because his family refused to allow a crossdresser to work with him in their home. Now this 8-year-old boy's parents, both ministers, are being forced to choose between their child's care or their Christian faith.

Read on to learn how we are helping families like this and what YOU can do to stop this poison from spreading across our land. —Your Faith & Liberty team

Autistic children are incredibly sensitive to change. Anything new, unexpected or illogical can send these special children into a physical and emotional tailspin.

Sometimes unable to verbally communicate their distress, such children tend to express their pain and confusion via crying and self-harm that can last for hours or even days.

Autistic families learn to keep change to a minimum, making consistency a goal and continuity the core of their family life so their special child can know peace and thrive.

Members of our team received a plea for help this week from a young family caught in the crossfire of the radical LGBTQ movement's attempts to destroy that peace and force a crossdresser into the home of this Christian family.

THIS OUTRAGEOUS STORY WILL BE REPEATED IF HR 5 PASSES.

Susan (name changed for privacy) and her husband have a small Christian ministry. Their 8-year-old child suffers from autism, requiring regular behavioral therapy performed in their home.

After their son's prior female caregiver left the company providing behavioral services under a federal government contract, Susan inquired about her replacement and was told the new caregiver would be a woman.

But when Susan opened the door to greet the new therapist, before her stood a man dressed in drag.

Susan immediately called the therapy company, which first tried to insist that the new teacher was, in fact, a woman. But when she pressed the issue that the teacher was a man dressed like a woman, the company said Susan could not discriminate against this female imposter.

Susan was verbally informed that if she did not accept the man in drag, her son's much-needed services would be terminated. And that's exactly what happened.

Now Susan and her husband, both in Christian ministry, have NO help for their precious son. If HR 5 passes, this heartbreaking experience will happen to other parents receiving help for their autistic children.

Crossdressers, pedophiles and paraphiliacs will be in a protected class with special rights—and this bill will empower LGBT & Q and abortion over anything else—including this family and their autistic son.

Ministers like Susan and her husband will be forced to hire crossdressers and people with any other of the nearly 550 sexual paraphilias, and in the case of this family, even allowing access in your home to your vulnerable special-needs child. Refusal can result not just in loss of services but also in lawsuits from the deviant as well as the U.S. Department of Justice.

Working together, we can and must Stop the “Equality Act.”

We need your help to demand the Senate REJECT THE SO-CALLED "EQUALITY ACT." This bill will force LGBTQ and abortion into every corner of our lives (including online), and it revokes the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) that protects religious freedom.

Without RFRA, churches and religious schools will be forced to hire crossdressers and other sexual deviants, allow boys in the girls' bathrooms and much more. And Christian families like Susan's will be forced to allow confused crossdressers into their own private homes ... or else.

This dangerous bill MUST BE STOPPED NOW! The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing was held this week. But Sen. Chuck Schumer invoked Rule 14, meaning he can call up the bill for a vote any time without committee hearings. There is no time to waste! Select here or the button below to send your urgent fax now.

We can stop the “Equality Act.” There are not 60 votes to overcome the filibuster rule. But Sen. Schumer will try to slip this bill through in the early morning hours—hoping there is no objection. Faith & Liberty is working with senators to guard the floor to object and force a full vote. And we must also protect the filibuster rule. We are working on this too.

WE NEED EVERY VOTE AND EVERY VOICE. You can partner with us to send a strong message to protect people like Susan and her son. Keep us fighting by taking advantage of our Challenge Grant that will DOUBLE the impact of your gift. We can't fight effectively without you!

In the midst of changing circumstances, I want to strengthen you. Zephaniah wrote, "The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing" (Zeph. 3:17).

Let us first pray for those who do not know the love of Jesus that they will find true freedom and acceptance in a relationship with Christ.
