A Letter to Oppose The Equality Act

Letter sent to the leadership of the United States House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Human Services on April 8, 2019

Supreme Court

Multiple pieces of legislation introduced in recent years aim to, at their most extreme, codify the demands of the sexual revolution and radically reshape religious freedom in the U.S. In February 2021, the House passed The Equality Act—a bill that would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes under federal civil rights law.

The bill would curtail religious freedom protections, hinder the work of healthcare professionals and faith-based hospitals, undermine civil rights protections for women and girls, and ultimately steamroll the consciences of millions of Americans.

A letter was sent to the leadership of the United States House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Human Services on April 8, 2019.
