According to the Equality Act, religious nurses, doctors, and hospitals unwilling to kill an unborn child or perform a potentially mentally destabilizing, deeply invasive, medically unsound sex-change surgery could be legally discriminating.

[T]he [“Equality” Act] represents the most invasive threat to religious liberty ever proposed in America…  In short, the Equality Act equates Christian ethics with hatred and bigotry…  To be clear, Christians reject all forms of invidious discrimination.  We believe all persons, including those who identify as LGBT, are made in God’s image and deserve respect, kindness, and neighborliness. But this truth does not necessitate Christian capitulation to the sexual revolution.  No Christian who believes that the Bible’s depiction of created reality is both sacred and also authoritative can accept the Equality Act’s underlying tenets.  By codifying the ideas that (1) sexuality has no core ethical limits other than consent, and that (2) male and female definitions are psychologically based, rather than biologically based, the Equality Act must be interpreted as an assault on Christian institutions and especially on parental rights — since public education will be transformed to follow the law’s provisions…  Any Christian… who understands the vital urgency of religious liberty must oppose it…  For [liberals], the Equality Act is the rallying cry that would forever cement the legitimacy of sexual-revolution ethics into federal law.”

What we are witnessing is the [discriminatory] triumph of one understanding of reality over another… government-[enforced sexual] individualism is ascendant; Christianity is in decline.

Gushee lists all the kinds of people and institutions of American life that embrace homosexuality and transgenderism and, crucially, [discriminate against] those who do not…  Gushee believes this marginalization and demonization of [i.e. discrimination against] traditional Christians to be a positive development.

If discrimination is based on self-perception [as it will be under the so-called Equality Act], what would stop a white person from asserting that she has experienced discrimination because she has a self-perception of being black [or vice-versa]?  Through its unclear definitions, HR 5 [a.k.a. ENDA, FFA, or the Equality Act] opens the door to an increasingly bizarre and unclear application of the law.

Support for the Equality Act is embedded in the language of the Democratic Party platform… [and] A number of large corporations have endorsed the bill, including Amazon, Apple, AT&T, Coca–Cola, eBay, Facebook, Google, Johnson & Johnson, MasterCard, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Philip Morris International, UPS, United Airlines, Verizon, and Wells Fargo…  The Equality Act could make single-sex schools and clubs illegal.  It would [also] create an abortion mandate, since hospitals and clinics would be treated as public accommodations.

ENDA is Anti-Woman:

“[Under ENDA] Shelters for battered women would be forced to admit biological males.  Prisons would not be able to protect female inmates from predatory males who claim to be females.  Biological males will be given the opportunities, scholarships, and championships of female athletes.  It’s not clear that women’s sports would survive…  [And a]nyone who affirms the biological reality of the sexes would be, in law, relegated to the same status as the racists whose oppression of African Americans made the 1964 Civil Rights Act necessary.

If the Equality Act is passed, doctors will be canceled by law, just as Dr. Allen Josephson was fired by Louisiana University and Dr. Paul McHugh, a doctor at John Hopkins, was targeted for a smear campaign after each expressed concerns about the lack of scientifically-proven health benefits of transition procedures.
