How The Equality Act Will Expand LGBTQ Protections | NBC News NOW
Why are people against this? This act is protecting LGBT people from discrimination and prevent them getting fired from their jobs.
I'm wondering those black girls with black lives matter those help white gays to take down. White supremacists . those black girls must got give up their sports
It almost seems. Women have no right to Liv on gaywomen laws
It seems girls'. Going be banned from there own game if it martial law. From Ardmore oklahoma
I'm wondering oklahoma governor. Going pay. Boy's to join female sports $1200 for 3 months if only male dreadlocks can join women sports
I hope it passes.
Its disheartening seeing this ratio. Transwomen are women, period.
You are blind and cannot see the truth, you are deaf and cannot hear the truth. I fear for those without the Blood of Christ covering them on the Day of Wrath.
Why did the banks cancel the home equity line of credit which a majority of people need?
This act is WICKED and SINFUL. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!"
I am a former lesbian and I am totally against boys men entering any bathroom locker room or any place my 13 yr old nice will be in it's one thing for adults totally another to have grown men or women entering any where that minors are I now serve my Lord God Jehovah by my own free will I pray that others will come to know Jesus as Lord and savior even if I would not be saved now I would never accept a child would be exposed to this or being talked to about their sexual identity it's one thing if they are in their teens but let children be pure and innocent stop trying to rob them of their childhood do you have no heart Ibut then you people think murdering a baby on the womb is ok all life is important especially babies
FINALLY! I can actually play on a team that recognizes me.
A generation of people who haven't read and were raised by their phones are taking over now
Oh God I hope this passes so we can finally shut homophobic Christians up
Black people's suffering in the last 200 years is equal to the your bedroom preferences … according to these people
This makes my blood boil
I've always considered myself a liberal independent, but this is a bridge too far.
Our government is wildly out of touch with reality, science and the will of the majority of Americans!
Yaa the thought is absolutely correct, but the picture at 1:52 says a lot.
Can a heterosexual blue shield insurance payee sue blue shield for foisting a transgender doctor on her! Born a girl and always a girl!
Everyone should be equal but the fact that this is a response to states trying to, ya know, not destroy women's sports is pure WTF.
Seriously it's insane. "Oh but there's no real difference!" as MTF athletes just curbstomp all of the records ever
Housing and worker protections. Don’t let the Q idiots make this about girls soccer and bathrooms.
I hope these republicans get cancer. I'm so sick of a stupid religious book having the authority to make us second class citizens. I'm ready to fight👊ðŸ˜ÂÂ
These are the same people that believe in evolution
Why didn’t they just cut this off after the story. I don’t care about Lady Gaga’s dog walker.
"ADULT DECISION" BILL Proposal… "Anyone and everyone, individually and/or collectively, who encourages a minor to change their gender identity from their birth gender, as indicated by their chromosomes, those person or persons encouraging the minor to change gender identity become fully liable for any and all damages resulting directly or indirectly from the minor's adult decision to return to their birth gender."
Blind fools 🙉🙈🙊being used as political tools.
RIP to the girls chances in making a difference in sports
Don't feel sorry for women. Been called transphobe and all kinds of names. People refused to listen this is what you voted for. Honestly men in America should not even be fighting for this.
Congratulations to the ones who voted for Biden now full grown men can shower with your daughters
I don’t want my daughter playing basketball against a male or in any sports , biological it’s unfair and this law wanting to push is so stupid, we need to go back to , treat others a as you want to be treated and not put this stupid law
Smh 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
The issues they are skipping over are biological males in girls sports, locker rooms and showers, battered women's shelters and jail. Being denied at a hair salon is generally a spa that offers bikini wax but is not offering male genital waxing. They are avoiding the issues and the solutions.
Equality Act? More like the KCQ (Keep Christians Quiet) Act.
Just like sodom and Gomorrah the cup is almost full
Good luck if they try to force this on churches they will have political war on their hands like this country has never seen. Some churches still think this is sin and will obey God rather than man.
The senate Judiciary Committee holds hearings Mar 17 2021, it will be advanced from committee for full Senate vote by April 2021 depending on status of amendments and change/elimination of filibuster.
Equality Act HR5 is overdue, basic, and essential. Evangelicals can say/do the detestable amongst themselves but can't violate the constitution. Time will make those bigots like Whigs, plantations, and kid gloves: historical detritus.
Another twisted law thought of and being pushed by politicians with twisted minds.
It is not religion but The wrath of God will rain like shower on mother Babylon.. praying for the Saints that's in her.. and when it happens please don't blame God…
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Lord Jesus died & rose again to free u from sin accept His Gift by Faith âœÂÂï¸ÂÂâœÂÂï¸ÂÂâœÂÂï¸ÂÂ
This is why I would never be a liberal.
What a disgrace. This is not equality it is lunacy
