In this episode, Jared Eckert and Jacob Kersey discuss the so-called ‘Equality Act’. But if the ‘Equality Act’ is passed, there won’t be room for any more discussion. The bill would mandate a single viewpoint of sexual orientation and gender identity. Parents who do not wish their child to have gender reassignment surgery would ultimately not have to give their consent. Employers would be forced to provide medical coverage for gender reassignment surgeries. And women and girls would lose protections in traditionally women spaces since the bill would allow biological males into women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and sports.
