The Equality Act Would Make Protecting Your Child An Act Of Bigotry

So, if they put you in jail for not using the pronouns that your child insists on, are you still required to pay for the sex “change” operation?

This is the end of parental authority. The State has removed it, but left parents with the financial responsibility.

[Bayard]

You will have no family, you will have no friendships, yoou will never hold power or have control over your destiny, you will own nothing, and you will be happy.

This started with abortion. It has been a gradual downhill slide since the 70s. It’s now fast tracked on the elevator to hell thanks to public schools.

Equality Act, or ...The State Own Your Children Act.

And people wonder why birth rates are plummeting. This is an unintended consequence.

[Avalon Memories]

Of course, all people should be treated with respect, and no one should be subject to unjust discrimination.

Although I agree with the overall point of the article, I disagree with this two-part statement. First, not all people should be treated with respect. Respect must be earned. Second, although the author uses the qualifier "unjust" discrimination, in fact discrimination is a survival mechanism all species, including humans, do naturally and intuitively. I am proud to discriminate against those who would harm me and my loved ones.

[Little Ray]

Well, if you want to depopulate a country that is probably even more effective than the ‘one child’ policy.

[Heartlander]

If I walk into my doctor’s office today and say, “Hi, I’m Margaret Thatcher,” my physician will say I am delusional and give me an anti-psychotic. Yet, if instead, I walked in and said, “I’m a man,” he would say, “Congratulations, you’re transgender.”

If I were to say, “Doc, I am suicidal because I’m an amputee trapped in a normal body, please cut off my leg,” I will be diagnosed with body identity integrity disorder. But if I walk into that doctor’s office and say, “I am a man, sign me up for a double mastectomy,” my physician will. See, if you want to cut off a leg or an arm you’re mentally ill, but if you want to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, you’re transgender.

No one is born transgender. If gender identity were hardwired in the brain before birth, identical twins would have the same gender identity 100 percent of the time. But they don’t.

For your end times ping list

There’s a bible verse about how God will allow a strong spirit of delusion to be visited upon the nation’s.

[ConservativeInPA]

I agree completely. May I add, based on my discrimination I ridicule, abuse and take actions to protect my family. All my life I have clearly stated the reasons so my children know why.

[Mouton]

Anyone interfering in my children’s sexuality will have me alter their appearance from human body to Swiss cheese.

The right warned that it was a “slippery Slope” and the left mocked them claiming they were being overly dramatic. Yet here we are- families being destroyed by the state- parental rights being negated- just as the right predicted-

[Amendment10]

Patriots need to get their constitutionally clueless state government “leaders” up to speed on the following constitutional reality concerning the Equality Act.

The states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to address sex-related discrimination outside the scope of voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

• "19th Amendment:

  The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

  Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

State government “leaders” who turn their heads to federal government overreach of its constitutionally limited powers need to be primaried in 2022.

[Bob434]

ok- so in an “Equality Act” Everyone is equal- so that means that my religious beliefs are just as ‘equal’ as someone’s irreligious beliefs- so i guess that leaves us at a standstill. So if a child says they wanna be another gender- the parent can say “Nope” because their opinions are just as valid as their child’s

IF however, the courts step in and grant the child the ‘right’ to transgender against their parent’s wishes, then that puts the child’s ‘rights’ (and the agenda driven desires of the left) above that of the parent, and it’s no longer equal footing for everyone-

Either Equality means equality- or it doesn’t-

[RC one]

I don't understand. We controlled the Whitehouse, the Senate and the House of Representatives and yet they never did anything to halt the advance of the radical homosexual agenda? Come to think of it, they never passed a single law that would preserve the second amendment either. or put an end to illegal immigration. or abortion. Seems like the only thing they managed to accomplish in their two years of total power was passing a tax cut for extremely wealthy country club member type republicans.

It almost seems like they've been lying to us.

[Rurudyne]

The be a “bigot” who opposes transgenderism.

Better to be actively hated by the Woke and the Left than to be even tolerated by them.

*** This started with abortion. It has been a gradual downhill slide since the 70s. ***

I’d say it started way before that. The fundamental problem here is governments pretending things to be true that aren’t true. Here are some examples:

- The Salem witch hunts pretended witches were real.
- American slavery pretended that black people weren’t
fully human.
- The Holocaust pretended that Jewish people weren’t fully human.
- Abortion pretends that preborn people aren’t fully human.
- And now governments pretend that homosexuality is normal.

I got a tax cut and I am hardly "wealthy." Was there a better way to do this? Maybe, but a better bill might not have passed. What's coming will be much worse.
