Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The LGBTQ lobby has targeted Christian schools for destruction, using the so-called “Equality Act” to force all Christian schools, pre-K through college, to accept all aspects of the LGBTQ agenda … or be stripped of accreditation and face lawsuits and persecution by the U.S. Department of Justice.
If this bill passes, religious freedom and Christian education in America are dead. —Your Faith & Liberty team
Send your fax to Congress. Tell them to vote "NO" on the Equality Act.
The radical pro-LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is demanding Joe Biden strip Christian schools and colleges of their accreditation. Now the intentionally misnamed “Equality Act” will accomplish that and more.
The Equality Act is in the House where we CAN stop it IF we strongly voice opposition NOW!
First, the bill will require schools to accept abortion. Schools that offer health insurance for students must include abortion coverage.
Second, the bill imposes LGBTQ into every corner of the school. This includes “Q” — which the bill says stands for “Queer” — which includes all the 550 currently listed paraphilias (including pedophilia). This applies to staff, teachers, restrooms, lockers, showers, dorms, sports, and more.
This bill is a Pandora’s Box of evil that will insert itself into scores of federal laws, override all state and local laws, and force religious institutions to accept and promote homosexual, bisexual, transvestite, transexual, and any of the 550 paraphilia behaviors.
As we mentioned, the “Q” in LGBTQ covers all known sexual perversions (in addition to LGBT), including pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, and more. The list will literally make you sick.
If the religious institutions refuse to change their doctrine and policies to accommodate the entire panorama of sexual deviance, they will be punished under this law. The Equality Act REVOKES religious freedom exemptions and protections!
In 1993, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) was passed unanimously in the House, 97-3 in the Senate, and was signed into law by Democrat President Bill Clinton. It was supported by liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. But the Equality Act is so radical that it expressly states that RFRA cannot be raised as a claim or defense.
Colleges and universities that lose accreditation will be devastated. Students will not be eligible for student loans, nor will most graduate schools accept the applicants from unaccredited schools. Law students who graduate from an unaccredited school will not be able to take the bar exam — meaning they will not be lawyers. The same is true for many other professional degrees.
WE NEED EVERY VOTE AND EVERY VOICE. We need your voice NOW to send a strong message.
There are so many more dangerous and destructive aspects of this wicked bill — too many to list in just one email. We will write to inform you of those things as the fight goes on. But for now, please, take a stand to protect our children and Christian education!
The Equality Act is not about equality. If it were, houses of worship would be exempt and religious freedom would not be set aside.
The bill is a massive expansion into every corner of our lives.
This bill shreds the very foundations of our country. By codifying paraphilias and abortion into legal protection, the bill will be a direct assault on our Judeo-Christian values and our unalienable right to religious freedom.
But we can stop this nonsense if we all respond now!
During the pandemic, many governors tried to shutter churches and silence Christians. The Equality Act will expand this assault.
Churches were closed and restricted, pastors criminally charged, and fines levied. Churchgoers faced a decision no one should face — church or jail.
The church is essential. So are Christian schools.
