Just a little info on the Federal Equality Act

in #lgbtq5 years ago (edited)

On it's face, and as it's been presented to the American public, this act appears to be progressive, inclusive, and protective of a portion of our society (albeit minuscule, relatively speaking) and is something most of us could certainly support. However, as is with most legislation produced by our government, the strings attached to the 'good parts' could have severe repercussions and significantly restrict the rights and God-given freedom of others. This act is one of many that perpetuates confusing the masses into believing that we can't lift up one without stepping on others.

That sounds so awesome, right?

However, there are many reasons why this act is dangerous for other portions of society.
Many of which are showcased in these articles:

One particularly unnerving result of this act:

Compelled, or 'forced' speech is every bit as anti-American and dangerous as is restricted freedom thereof. Already we're seeing people suffering job loss from refusing to speak certain words.

Finally, this article was particularly interesting, well-written, and addresses some very valid concerns. I hope you have a chance to read it. (you can follow the author here

!The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation is also known for giving one of the largest amounts of funding to individual scientists around the world. Since 2000, the Foundation has given approximately $200 million a year to many notable scientists including Stephen Hawking, Marvin Minsky, Eric Lander, Lawrence Krauss, Lee Smolin, George Church, Ben Goertzel, Kip Thorne, Gregory Benford and numerous Nobel laureates, including, Gerald Edelman, Murray Gell-Mann, Gerard ’t Hooft, David Gross, and Frank Wilczek.[3] Over the years, the Foundation has convened many of these scientists in conferences to discuss the consensus on fundamental science topics such as gravity, global threats to the Earth and language.2

Agreed. The degree of self-importance it requires to become offended by someone misrepresenting your gender, must be immense...and it's pretty gross.
