There can be no compromise with those whose political program requires erasing American citizens' constitutionally guaranteed rights to freely speak and freely worship.

On May 15, Fox News reported that three Republican senators would like to write caveats into the Equality Act that might give them the political cover to vote for the bill to criminalize free speech and Christianity in the United States.

As the House of Representatives prepares to vote on the Equality Act today, which offers much needed legislative protections for the LGBTQ+ community, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene decided that it would be a good time to post a transphobic sign outside of her office.

The House voted Thursday to pass landmark LGBTQ legislation in a move that critics say would crush religious liberty.

The vote was 224 to 206 with three Republicans joining the Democrat majority to vote "Yes."

The bill, known as the Equality Act or H.R.5, passed 236-173 in the House in 2019 although it died in the Senate. Now, it's possible the Senate will give it a real look.

“The Democratic-led House passed a bill Thursday that would enshrine LGBTQ protections in the nation’s labor and civil rights laws… The Equality Act amends existing civil rights law to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identification as protected characteristics. The protections would extend to employment, housing, loan applications, education, public accommodations and other areas.” (AP News)

The left supports the legislation, arguing that LGBTQ people should be protected from discrimination.

A divided House on Thursday narrowly passed a sprawling bill that would extend civil rights protections to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, but the measure faced an uphill battle to enactment, with Republicans almost uniformly opposed.

The Democrat-controlled House on Thursday passed the Equality Act, sweeping legislation that would add sexual orientation and transgender status as protected classes under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The legislation, passed in a vote of 224-206, would amend federal civil rights laws to solidify protections for LGBTQ Americans in employment, education, housing, credit, jury service and other areas. President Biden has called the bill “a critical step toward ensuring that America lives up to our foundational values of equality and freedom for all.”

The US House of Representatives has passed sweeping legislation that prohibits LGBT discrimination, but it faces an unlikely future in the Senate.

The Equality Act was previously passed by the Democratic-led House in 2019, but was killed by Senate Republicans.

The debate has laid bare the ideological battle between liberals who support the act and conservatives who say it infringes on religious freedom.

The act expands on a 2020 Supreme Court ruling protecting some LGBT rights.

As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to vote on the Equality Act, a LGBT civil rights bill, a new poll finds more Americans than ever now identify as LGBT.

The House is set to vote Wednesday on the legislation, which would amend the Civil Rights Act to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill was reintroduced in the House last week by Rep. David Cicilline, a Rhode Island Democrat, and was also spearheaded by Sen. Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat.

The House of Representatives is set to vote this week on the Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It would also substantially expand the areas to which those discrimination protections apply.

It's a bill that President Biden said on the campaign trail would be one of his top legislative priorities for the first 100 days of his presidency.

Arguments pitting religious liberty against gay and transgender rights grew intense on the House floor Wednesday when lawmakers debated a bill that would prohibit discrimination against people based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The House is set to vote on Thursday on H.R. 5, the Equality Act, which would also expand areas that already have gay and transgender discrimination protections.
