This Could Happen Any Moment

Jul 29, 2023

There is no time to delay. House Democrats have 212 co-sponsors for HR 15 – a bill that revokes religious freedom and replaces it with the doctrines of LGBTQ and abortion radicals … to which its sponsors want every knee to bow or face serious punishment. The Democrats are only SIX votes away from passing this atrocity that seeks to chemically sterilize and surgically mutilate our children, even as it forces unlimited and unrestricted abortion on all.

HR 15 is NOT about equality. If it were, the bill would not expressly revoke the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and it would protect children, not kill them in the womb or sterilize them.

HR 15 truly is THE most expansive, freedom-crushing bill ever considered by Congress!

Please rush your urgent fax to the U.S. Congress to STOP HR 15 and BLOCK THIS BILL! —Mat

Churches and religious schools must have the right to teach the next generation biblical values. Without this freedom, churches and church schools close or go underground. Communist countries relentlessly target churches and their schools to silence them. That is exactly what HR 15 does. 

Imagine your children at church or Christian school being taught by a male “drag queen,” and the church and school is powerless to say, "No, this violates our biblical beliefs!" Seems far-fetched? It's not.

We actually have a case of an elementary teacher in Madison, Wisconsin, who sent the K-5 children a video telling the youngsters to no longer refer to him as "Mr." From henceforth, they must refer to him as "Mx." because he is "neither male nor female." He says he is "both, and sometimes neither."

If this person, who now goes by "Mx. Steele," taught your children in your church or school, HR 15 would give him the legal right to do what he did in this public school. Resistance would result in lawsuits by the state attorney general and private individuals for "discrimination."

The intentionally misnamed "Equality Act" will force churches and religious schools — pre-K through college — to remain silent and submit.

Not only will churches and religious schools face costly lawsuits, but they'll also lose tax exemption, and schools will lose accreditation. For most colleges and universities, loss of accreditation is a death sentence.

Remember the for-profit ITT Technical Institute? It closed after losing accreditation. With students unable to get student loans and not able to go on to graduate school, the loss of accreditation is devastating.

The Equality Act will also force churches and religious organizations that perform marriage ceremonies to provide the facilities for same-sex ceremonies … or face crushing lawsuits.

Abuse shelters for women will be forced to allow men to sleep in the same rooms with women. Churches will be forced to allow boys to sleep with girls on overnight trips. 

The Equality Act will affect everyone — including the individual working part-time from home providing goods or services online. It is a massive expansion of the federal government’s domineering power!

Time is short and every vote counts.

Chris Weaver led “worship” at his “church” in New York called Zoe Ministries. Yet Chris would go straight from church to put on makeup and perform in drag as "Nedra Belle" at local specialized bars.

He even bragged to a reporter, “Listen, the children better be ready” for his drag queen performance as “Nedra Belle.”

If the Equality Act becomes law, trying to stop someone like Weaver from performing in drag at your church or synagogue would be met with lawsuits, fines, loss of tax exemption, and more.

We have a narrow window to stop this bill.

By the way, the “Q” in LGBTQ stands for “Queer.” This word covers the entire universe of “sexual orientations” outside of LGBT — which means it includes "minor-attracted individuals" (pedophilia). This is NOT an exaggeration! Every deviant behavior is covered by the “Q."

Make no mistake, this bill is a real threat. It paints a huge target on the backs of everyone. If you haven't already done so, sign our petition. We have prepared the necessary support documents to make the petition effective to those receiving it.

Our team in Washington, D.C., is in contact with members of Congress to stop this bill, even as we continue to defend pastors, churchgoers, and pro-life warriors in courtrooms across America, including the Supreme Court.

But we need your help. Join our extended Challenge Grant to DOUBLE the impact of your gift. Support Liberty Counsel today.

I am grateful for the privilege of serving you.
