This Threatens Christian Home Businesses

“Equality Act” is on the Table 

Republican concessions don’t bode well for the “Equality Act”

The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) this week but caved to Democrat demands on many important policy areas. As a result, you and I will be forced to pay for “transgender” drugs and services for Department of War employees, military members, dependents, and retirees.

The same thing happened earlier this year with the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” The Republican-controlled House and Senate caved to the Democrats on long-term funding of Planned Parenthood and establishing a surveillance state while also adding 6 trillion dollars to our deficit. There’s more, but the damage is done, so I won’t trouble you with the details in this email.

Instead, I write to you today to issue yet another warning, one I have been making since January, that just because we have Republican control of Congress and the White House doesn’t mean that conservative principles will win the day. This week’s vote proved that we cannot sit back idly and assume the Republican majority will vote our way.

Now that the major funding bills have passed, Congress is moving on to the Equality Act — a bill that seeks to sacrifice religious freedom on the altar of the LGBTQ.

Demand Congress VOTE NO on the Equality Act!

One of our recent cases exemplifies the dangers all too well.

Hope* loves the Lord and uses her creative talent to earn a few extra dollars selling inspirational, custom-designed coffee mugs on a popular craft seller’s website. But when she was asked to make a custom mug celebrating “Queers,” her deeply held Christian beliefs prevented her from accepting the order.

The word “queer,” by definition, covers over 550 perversions (known as paraphilias), including necrophilia, bestiality, and pedophilia, among other deviant behavior.

There was no way that Hope, as a Christian, could fulfill that order without dishonoring God and violating her faith.

Liberty Counsel stepped in to ensure the LGBTQ could not sue Hope into bankruptcy. Only YOUR generosity made this possible!

Now Congress is jumping into the fray, trying to pass the most egregious “Equality Act” yet.

On the National Day of Prayer, 214 House and 47 Senate Democrats teamed up to replace women’s rights with “queer” rights in HR 15 and S 1503, the Equality Act of 2025. That’s right — on the National Day of Prayer!

We have fought this legislation for years, and every year, the Democrats not only bring this sick bill back to the floor, but they also make it more deviant.

The Equality Act of 2025 seeks to: 

  • Overturn every ban on men in women’s locker rooms and showers. 
  • Overturn city and state obscenity laws that ban obscene drag queen burlesque and strip shows for children. 
  • Federally ban Christian change counseling for patients seeking to heal gender dysphoria and unwanted unnatural desires. 
  • Specifically revoke Section 1107 of the Civil Rights Act and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which, in turn: 
    • Forces churches and Christian schools to hire transvestites, pedophiles, and promote “queer” ideals. 
    • Forces ALL individuals and businesses, even Christian home-based bussineses, to set aside their religious freedom beliefs and rights to instead promote “queer” ideals. 

If this bill passes, every protection we have won for women and children against the obscenities and recruiting efforts of the LGBTQ agenda will be overturned. Every battle we have fought for religious freedom will be impacted, and “America the Brave” will turn into “America the Queer.”

Send your urgent fax (below) to demand Congress block this sick attempt to subjugate women, children, and Christians to the LGBTQ’s deviant demands.

Demand Congress VOTE NO on the “Queer” Equality Act.

For over 36 years, Liberty Counsel has stood in the gap, fighting for everyday people like Hope, who would not be able to afford to defend themselves and their religious freedom rights. ONLY because of your generosity are we able to perform this important work.

A special Year-End Challenge Grant has been established to fund our legal work into the New Year. Every donation made by MIDNIGHT, December 31, will be DOUBLED in impact. Please, give generously!

God bless you for defending decency and the right to religious freedom.
