The Relentless 9-Year Assault on Jack Phillips Unmasks the True Threat of the ‘Equality Act’

Nine years ago, a gay couple went into Masterpiece Cakeshop and asked baker Jack Phillips to craft a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding. Phillips refused, based on his Christian conviction that marriage is between one man and one woman, but he offered to sell the men anything else in the shop. They reported him to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, sparking a six-year legal battle up to the Supreme Court. Shortly after the Supreme Court found in favor of Phillips, a transgender lawyer targeted the Christian baker, beginning the battle all over again.

The Equality Act Is Really the Inequality Act.

A world where the government gets to decide what gender and sexuality mean for the rest of us—what could possibly go wrong?

We live in an increasingly Orwellian world. Although it has become both a truism and a cliché to invoke the words and spirit of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984 to describe the political (un)reality around us, it’s fair to say that, had Eric Arthur Blair had not thought of it first, the Western Civilization has more or less invented an Orwellian world by this point.

5 Things You Need To Know About The Extremist ‘Equality Act’ House Democrats Just Passed

On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the so-called Equality Act by a vote of 224 to 206. While Democrats have marketed this legislation as a simple civil rights law designed to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination, it is far from that.

The statutory language instead provides for an extreme remaking of all aspects of society, destroys the promise of equality for women, and threatens religious liberty and the privacy rights of all Americans, especially children. The proposed law also will upend state and federal protections of the unborn—yes, the Equality Act is about abortion too.

‘Gender Identity Doesn’t Erase Physiological Advantages’: Student Athlete

Biologically female athletes should not be forced to compete with athletes who are born biological males, student-athlete Linnea Saltz told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

Saltz, who participates in the highest level of intercollegiate athletics known as the NCAA Division I, said on Saturday that her views do not stem from a desire to discriminate against transgender women but instead that accommodating for LGBTQ athletes should not come at the expense of destroying women’s sports and the dreams of biological female athletes.

Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is

Biden’s Equality Act is not the unifying issue he thinks it is

President Joe Biden has announced that he will move ahead with a proposed Equality Act prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. A decision celebrated by Liberal America, it will be the first such legislation to be implemented at US federal level. Campaigners argue this is necessary in a nation where, in many states, it’s still legal to refuse housing or services to someone on the basis of being gay or trans. But the legislation comes with a sting in the tail for women, which may prove unexpectedly costly to the Democrats.

California court sides with Twitter in Meghan Murphy lawsuit who was banned for saying “women aren’t men”

Because of its intensity, it’s easy to think that the unprecedented level of censorship on social networks, spreading even to, technically speaking, lower levels of the web like hosting services, is a recent phenomenon.

But it’s been almost two and a half years since Meghan Murphy announced she would sue Twitter for permanently banning her account after she tweeted, “women aren’t men” and other declarations referring to scientific facts about biological differences between women and men.
