Here is what you need to know about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First off, the Equality Act would abolish all Christian institutions by forcing them to hire homosexuals and transgenders as pastors and other leaders \u2013 and to use their preferred \u201cpronouns.\u201d<\/strong> Churches that follow the biblical mandate to only allow men as preachers would also be forced to hire women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAny church or private school which refused to hire persons who engage in sodomy and other same-sex behaviors, or who support abortion, even though it violates church teaching, will be held to be in violation of the Act,\u201d<\/strong> says Robert Marshall of\u00a0<i>LifeSiteNews<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBusinesses run by Christians or those who believe in natural law, who fail to implement the LGBTQ+ \/ abortion agenda, will be fined, just as they would be for engaging in racial discrimination,\u201d he adds, noting that many churches would likely be stripped of their tax-exempt status if found to be in violation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Christian doctors and surgeons would also be required to offer abortions and perform transgender mutilation surgeries on demand. Refusal to do so would be considered a dereliction of duty in the provision of \u201chealth care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Any attempt to talk a woman out of getting an abortion, or a person with gender dysphoria out of getting a \u201csex change,\u201d would also be prohibited under the Equality Act. The only thing allowed would be full \u201caffirmation\u201d of whatever the patient is demanding.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s sports would also disappear as men who pretend to be \u201cwomen\u201d would be allowed to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2019-04-29-equality-act-to-force-schools-to-allow-male-athletes-on-female-sports-teams.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">participate in women\u2019s sports<\/a>, use women\u2019s locker rooms, and do everything a woman is allowed to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Equality Act also would cement gender-confused males\u2019 dangerous, unfair inclusion on girls\u2019 sports teams, which the nascent Biden administration already mandated last month,\u201d writes Raymond Wolf for\u00a0<i>LifeSiteNews<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Transgender\u2019 males retain a significant edge against female competitors, humiliate them with obscenely disproportionate victories, and have inflicted brutal injuries on opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>China Joe isn\u2019t a real Catholic, claims archbishop<\/h2>\n<p>All of these changes would affect Catholics as well, which is why the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has repeatedly condemned the Equality Act.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the USCCB noted that the Equality Act would \u201cdiscriminate against people of faith\u201d as well as violate their \u201cprecious rights to life and conscience,\u201d especially with \u201can abortion mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Beijing Biden, a self-proclaimed Catholic, is fully on board with the Equality Act. He has promised to sign it should the Senate get the required number of votes in support of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Equality Act provides long overdue federal civil rights protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity \u2026 codifying the courage and resilience of the LGBTQ+ movement into enduring law,\u201d Biden mumbled in a canned statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge Congress to swiftly pass this historic legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>China Joe\u2019s positions on matters of LGBTQ \u201cequality\u201d and abortion rights are so out of touch with the Roman Catholic faith that Archbishop Joseph Naumann, chairman of the USCCB\u2019s pro-life committee, issued a statement denouncing the fake president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president should stop defining himself as a devout Catholic, and acknowledge that his view on abortion is contrary to Catholic moral teaching,\u201d Naumann said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he is doing now is usurping the role of the bishops and confusing people. He\u2019s declaring that he\u2019s Catholic, and is going to force people to support abortion through their tax dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Here\u2019s what you need to know about the anti-family Equality Act \u2013 NaturalNews.com (Natural News) By far the most sweeping piece of LGBTQ legislation to ever move through Washington, D.C., the so-called \u201cEquality Act\u201d has officially\u00a0been approved\u00a0by the House of Representatives and will now move on to the Senate.
