Instead of respecting differences in beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act will discriminate against people of faith and further degrade unborn life.
Among other violations, the Equality Act will:
- Punish faith-based organizations, such as charities, adoption facilities, and schools who serve everyone in their communities, simply because of their beliefs
- Require female-segregated facilities like maternity homes, homeless shelters, and the like to allow biological men to bathe and bunk with women
- Risk mandating taxpayers to fund abortions
- Force people in everyday life, and especially health care workers, to support gender transition
- Expand what the government considers a “public” place, forcing even some parish halls to host functions that conflict with Christian beliefs
We must protect the unborn and defend our religious liberty.

Equality Act impact and timeline per andrew Wommack Ministries
The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the so-called Equality Act [H.R. 5 2021]. The bill now goes to the United States Senate for consideration.
This bill is the most aggressive restriction of religious freedom and free speech ever attempted in this nation. Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League, recently said it is the “the most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.”
The same bill passed the House last year but died in the Republican-controlled Senate. Now that the Senate is controlled by radical Democrats, the bill has a very real prospect of becoming law. In an article published in Townhall in May, 2019, Robert Knight wrote as follows about essentially this same bill:
It goes far beyond allowing men into women’s sports and locker rooms, as bad as that is. It provides the state with the power to persecute anyone who won’t celebrate any aspect of the LGBTQ agenda.
Far from merely expanding civil rights categories, it turns any recognition of the differences between the sexes or any preference for traditional sexual morality into actionable “hate,” creating fertile grounds for lawsuits.
“It is the most dangerous bill to freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion that has ever been proposed on a national level,” says Houston Baptist University Prof. Robert Gagnon, an expert in biblical sexual morality. “It will codify into law that you are a bigot, the moral equivalent of a racist, tantamount to being a member of the Klu Klux Klan, who must be shut out of society and, wherever possible, harassed and persecuted for your beliefs.”
In other words, it would criminalize Christianity, an ongoing process that got a big boost from the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling on same-sex “marriage.”
Our friends at the Centennial Institute here in Colorado explain what could result if this bill is passed by the U.S. Senate:
Americans have learned to live together amid religious differences. The Equality Act, unfortunately, forces all Americans, even those with religious differences when it comes to human sexuality, to abide by a progressive worldview enforced by the federal government.
Every American who believes in freedom must act NOW to stop this bill from becoming law. Would you join me in contacting your United States Senators to tell them to vote NO on the Equality Act?

- Businesses could no longer operate according to their religious beliefs. Businesses all over America could be targeted in the same way Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker, was targeted.
- Federal financial assistance for religious education and other religious programs could be threatened.
- Both federal and private employers could face costly lawsuits if they fail to implement strict preferred pronoun policies.
- It would defeat the purpose of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which is supposed to guarantee women equal educational and athletic opportunities.
- It directly threatens parental rights by forcing counselors to guide children with gender confusion to embrace transgenderism.
- It seeks to ban religious adoption and foster care agencies.
- The ability of churches, synagogues, and mosques to employ people according to their religious beliefs will be severely limited.
- It would prevent religious organizations from using the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to protect their deeply held religious beliefs.
