The Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell vs. Hodges, bringing same-sex marriage to the entire nation, is resulting in some serious legislative proposals. The Left’s efforts to mainstream the gay lifestyle have mostly been met with success. But there’s been some difficulty getting federal laws on the books to force acceptance and affirmation of homosexual behavior. Now, emboldened by the High Court’s validation of gay marriage, LGBT advocates are working their plan to quickly get Congress to pass bills that enshrine rights and privileges for open homosexuals and transgenders, often at the expense of the rights of Christians. The sexual revolution that began in the sixties is now culminating in the elevation of sexual liberty over religious liberty and the Left wants it codified.

There have been repeated attempts to pass ENDA, a law that would prevent business owners from considering their faith in hiring practices. If ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, were ever to be enacted, employers would find that it’s illegal to hold to the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic in deciding who to hire and promote. Employers with religious and moral objections to homosexual conduct would face a situation where homosexual rights supersede religious rights.

ENDA is really affirmative action for homosexuals, lesbians, and transgenders.

Over the years, ENDA would pass one chamber of Congress and fall short in the other. Pro-family groups like FRC Action organized campaigns to stop it and thus protect the rights of religious business owners. But there was always a lot of pressure on lawmakers to pass this. I mean who wants to go on record voting against “non-discrimination” in the workplace?

Last time the Senate passed ENDA, House leaders kept it bottled up so members wouldn’t have to vote on an increasingly sensitive subject. ENDA seemed to disappear for a while. But now it’s back. Only it’s “supercharged.” That’s the term FRC Action uses for it. Its official name is the “Equality Act.”

FRC Action is affiliated with Family Research Council, working specifically on legislation. Their experts have combed through the “Equality Act” and found that the bill actually strips believing Americans of their rights in 25 areas of the law. They point out that, “Almost every federal law that already protects on the basis of race will be retrofitted to accommodate the radical homosexual rights lobby.” LGBT protections will be required in offering credit, housing, public education (including curricula), and higher education — including student housing, and in the use of public facilities, even locker rooms and public restrooms.

In fact, President Obama has already put a down payment on the “Equality Act.” The White House restrooms are no longer designated for men or for women in order to accommodate transgender visitors.

The “Equality Act” also strips those charged with violating it of a powerful tool to defend themselves in court. It limits use of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act regarding any matter covered by the “Equality Act.”

If believers wake up… we could stop this.
