Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

Democrats flipped a seat in the U.S. House this week. That means they are one vote closer to passing HR 15 — the misnamed "Equality Act." This dangerous bill just needs a couple of Republicans to cave to pass it!
Republicans have the narrowest margin in the House. With vacancies accounted for, they have a margin of just one vote above the 218 votes needed in the House. If even one Republican is sick for the day, progress grinds to a halt.
The House is critical; it is our best chance to stop this bill now. HR 15 is not just a threat to religious liberty. It is a full assault against you and every person and institution. This bill is designed to make abortion a federal right, elevate the LGBT & Q agenda, and punish anyone who will not promote it.
Rush your urgent fax to the U.S. House to stop HR 15. — Your Faith & Liberty team
The misnamed “Equality Act” is the most dangerous ambush of religious freedom.
The "Q" in LGBTQ includes about 550 sexually deviate paraphilias — including pedophilia that will become a protected class under this bill!
Cosmopolitan states: “Queerness is an umbrella term that is both an orientation and a community. ... The vagueness of the term is intentional— queer is an identity created for anyone outside of the heterosexual norm and meant to be inclusive.”
In addition, the activist group LGBTQ Nation wrote, "the Q in LGBTQ can also signify other sexual orientations and gender not covered by the acronym's preceding letters. If you're gender-neutral, non-binary, agender, genderfluid, pansexual, asexual, solosexual or something else not covered by LGBT, the Q has got you covered!"
In fact, there is an entire organization dedicated to normalizing pedophilia in America. B4U-ACT is a “collaborative effort of mental health professionals and people who are attracted to children or adolescents” with the goal “to educate the public regarding issues faced by these individuals.” The new euphemism for pedophile is a “minor-attracted person.”
And this bill is waiting for a vote at any moment to give special privileges and legal protections for “Q.”
Do not sit on the sidelines while radicals twist our nation’s laws to abuse children and people of faith.
Among other things, the Equality Act will mean that:
Biological men will destroy women's sports and have entry to their restrooms, locker rooms, dressing/shower rooms, and shelters.
Churches will be forced to provide equal access to LGBTQ ceremonies if the facilities are open to natural marriage ceremonies.
Churches and religious schools would be forced to hire staff involved in LGBTQ conduct; give men access to restrooms, locker rooms, showers and sports; allow boys to bunk with girls on camping and overnight trips; and provide insurance to cover hormones, mutilating surgeries, and chemical and surgical abortions.
Noncompliant churches and schools will lose federal, state, and local tax exemptions and accreditations.
From pre-K, children will be taught that they can choose their gender, will be encouraged to experiment with each other to find their “identities,” and will be able to demand opposite, both, and neither sex pronouns (he for a girl, zie for neither, mx for both).
Pregnancy centers will be forced to provide abortion referrals.
And if this bill passes, you will not escape its reach into every business, church, school, and basically the lives of everyone. It even can apply to many personal homes!
WE CAN STOP THIS BILL ...
Currently All 212 — soon to be 213 — House Democrats support this bill. They only need a handful of Republicans to bypass the Speaker and bring this bill to the floor to pass it. Fax the U.S. House now!
STOP this bill from becoming law. We are asking you to act now by faxing the House to oppose this outrageous bill and protect your freedom.
This is a critical moment. Please pray for the health of the remaining good legislators to ensure they will be there to vote on HR 15 when it comes to the floor.
