The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing tomorrow on the misnamed "Equality Act"!

Over the weekend, Sen. Chuck Schumer threatened on MSNBC to destroy the filibuster if Republicans use it. The filibuster requires 60 votes, which the Democrats don't have.

"If [Republicans] vote no on everything...our caucus will have to get together and figure out how to get it done. Everything will be on the table. Failure is not an option. We cannot turn away from the big, bold change that is needed." And the "Equality Act" is one of Schumer's "big, bold" changes.

Even if you have already sent a fax, we are at a critical moment today. Tell the Senate "NO!" on HR 5. -Mat

The LGBT + Q agenda is dangerous for our children.

One father is facing jail because he would not consent to his teenage daughter taking opposite-sex hormones. Today, Canadian father Rob Hoogland will be in court where he is expected to receive an arrest warrant.

When his daughter was around 11 or 12, she secretly got involved in LGBTQ at school. Without her father's knowledge, she started seeing a doctor who prescribed drugs to block hormones and opposite-sex hormones. These drugs cause permanent sterility, among other things, in teens.

When Hoogland found out, he refused consent to have his daughter take experimental drugs. The government accused him of abuse.

The judge issued a special gag order to silence him. Hoogland felt this story was too important to hide from the world, so he spoke up.

For trying to protect his own daughter and tell the world what is happening, he expects to be arrested today.

Don't think this is isolated to Canada. We are working with parents where their child's public school presented LGBTQ propaganda. And without the parents' knowledge, the child began taking hormone blockers and then opposite-sex hormones. When the parents found out and objected, child protection services said their refusal was "abuse."

HR 5 will make these stories commonplace. That's why we're asking you to act now by faxing the Senate to oppose this outrageous bill.

Next month, Hoogland will also appear before a judge for a five-day criminal hearing about breaking the gag order. He faces up to five years in jail.

We must Stop the "Equality Act." Yesterday, we spoke with key senators on the Judiciary Committee. Today, that Committee begins its hearings, but the Democrats have closed the meetings to the public. And, Sen. Schumer has invoked Rule 14, which means he can rush the bill to the floor without committee hearings. This is NOT a partisan issue. This is about our religious freedom and our responsibility to protect children from such abuse. Send your urgent fax to the U.S. Senate today to oppose this outrageous bill.

A key foundation for the "Equality Act" is crumbling.

Dr. Lisa Diamond is a self-avowed lesbian and co-editor in chief of the American Psychological Association's APA Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology. Even she admitted that children and adults can and do change. She stated, "Although change in adolescence and emerging adulthood is understandable, change in adulthood contradicts the prevailing view of consistency in sexual orientation" (APA Handbook, Vol. 1, p. 562).

"Therapy that is open to change is more harmonious...than is gay-affirmative therapy," said Laura Haynes, Ph.D., in her publication "The American Psychological Association Says Born-That-Way-And-Can't Change Is Not True of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity."

The propaganda talking point for this bill--that people cannot change--is bogus. Even the APA admits this publicly. But the leftist activists have given voice to a colossal lie that change is impossible, and the "Equality Act" is just about equal treatment. Both are lies.

Rush your urgent fax to the Senate to stop the "Equality Act."
