Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. The Equality Act in many ways does the opposite of this and I ask that you please oppose it. Instead of respecting differences in beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith.
Among other things, the Equality Act:
Punishes faith-based organizations, such as charities and schools who serve everyone in their communities, simply because of their beliefs about marriage and sexuality;
Forces girls and women to compete against boys and men for limited opportunities in sports, and to share locker rooms and shower spaces with biological males who identify as women;
Risks mandating taxpayers to fund abortions;
Forces people in everyday life, and especially health care workers, to support gender transition; and
Expands what the government considers a "public" place, forcing even some congregation halls to host functions that conflict with their beliefs.
