The Equality Act faces a tougher battle in the Senate, where 60-vote threshold is required to bypass a filibuster.

LGBT+ Americans moved a step closer to winning legal protection from discrimination on Thursday as the U.S. House of Representatives passed a key civil rights bill backed by President Joe Biden.

Republicans argue that the bill endangers women, curtails religious freedom, and places an undue burden on certain businesses.

The House voted 224-206 on Thursday to pass the Equality Act, which would expand federal protections for LGBTQ people by prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.Why it matters: The legislation passed in the House in May 2019…

The bill is a cynical attempt to use the Civil Rights Act as a Trojan horse for radical leftist social orthodoxies.

LGBTG protections will be enshrined in US law if bill survives a steep climb to 60 votes in the Senate.

The bill would force taxpayers to fund abortion and offers no conscience protections for health-care workers with objections to the procedure.

The incident took place during debates in the House over the Equality Act.

"In many ways," the coming vote showed how Congress was "catching up to the rest of the country" on LGBTQ rights, Rep. David Cicilline said.

Legislative efforts to, in effectiv, coerce religious Americans into betraying sincere, time-honored convictions are the opposite of equality under the law.

A new poll has found that more adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender than ever before.

Among other issues, the bill guts the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and includes an apparent abortion mandate.
