Friend,
The U.S. Senate could vote any day on the intentionally misnamed Equality Act. I cannot overstate how disastrous the passage of this bill would be. Every person in the nation will be affected. This bill is the most radical bill ever introduced in Congress to advance the LGBTQ agenda and abortion.
HR 5 elevates “sexual orientation and gender identity” (LGBTQ—the bill says the Q stands for “Queer”) to the same protected category as race. It will affect every American in numerous ways.
It will impact all employers, including religious and nonprofit organizations, contractors, houses of worship, public, private and religious schools, curricula, bathrooms, sports, daycare providers, shelters, hospitals, places of gathering, entertainment, counselors, foster care and adoption, biological parents, landlords (even a single room in your house), anyone providing a “good, service or program,” including online, and all local, state and federal entities and many other jurisdictions.
In this email, I can only highlight some of the dangers of HR 5:
- Biological men will have access to women’s sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms, showers and shelters.
- Pastors could be forced to officiate same-sex ceremonies, and churches would have to offer use of their buildings to LGBTQ groups.
- Churches and religious organizations would be forced to host same-sex ceremonies and even baby showers or lose tax-exempt status for noncompliance and possible lawsuits.
- Churches and religious schools would be forced to hire staff involved in LGBTQ conduct, even to visible positions of authority, and give them complete access to all children, even in restrooms.
- Churches and religious colleges will lose tax exemption and accreditation if they do not bow to this radical agenda.
- If taking overnight trips with children, including sports or mission trips for schools or churches, leaders will not be able to separate people sleeping in the same room by biological gender.
- Religious schools would be forced to hire teachers and staff involved in the LGBTQ agenda. Staff will be forced to use biologically false pronouns and assign biological males to the girls' dorms.
- From kindergarten, children will be taught that they can choose their gender and will be encouraged to experiment with each other.
And the Holy Bible’s content addressing human sexuality will become a target under the bill.

HR 5 applies to a person’s “actual or perceived romantic, emotional, physical, or sexual attraction to other persons or lack thereof on the basis of gender. LGBTQ people, including “gender nonbinary people,” are included.
The Q (“Queer”) in HR 5 will even protect pedophilia. Listen to what the pedophile group “B4U-ACT" says about “minor-attracted persons”:
- No one chooses to be emotionally and sexually attracted to children or adolescents.
- Attraction to children becomes a central part of their identity.
- Minor-attracted people are not dangerous or deviants.
- Referring to minor-attracted people as pedophiles or a risk to children stigmatizes them and is not in the best interest of children or society.
This group's main goal is to change the culture so their perverted desires are no longer “at odds” with society. One of B4U-ACT’s spokespersons, Paul Christiano, was a registered sex offender who ended his own life at age 39.
The group has gone so far as to claim that pedophiles “often show a desire to protect children and make them happy.” This group and their despicable practices would be part of a legally protected class if HR 5 becomes law.
Say NO to HR 5—Select here or the button below to send your fax NOW!
The Equality Act is designed to crush churches and schools—and anyone who will not bow to the LGBT & Q agenda.
We have freed the churches in many states, including winning the first permanent statewide injunction preventing California from ever restricting churches again. But more states need to be freed, including the Maine churches we are defending before the Supreme Court.
We will not rest until every American can once again enjoy the RIGHT to go to church!
We need your help as never before! Thanks to generous supporters, our Challenge Grant will effectively DOUBLE YOUR DONATION. PLEASE, be a part of the blessing today by selecting here or the button below.

“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ” (Col. 2:8).
Again, thank you for standing with us!
