Oh, from the paper, The Unfairness of the Misnamed 'Fairness For All' Act

By definition, antidiscrimination laws coerce some citizens on behalf of others—whereas religious liberty limits government to protect the personal freedom of all. Antidiscrimination policies—sometimes justifiably, to be sure—use legal force to make some people, in some domains, live by the majority’s values; religious liberty protects everyone’s interest in living by his or her own convictions. Pairing a coercive norm with a liberty exception is not live and let live. A true live-and-let-live approach would leave LGBTQ-identifying people free to live by their beliefs, but not “free” to use legal mechanisms to force others to act as if they shared those beliefs.

Gonna quote this author when I call one of my Senators. This could speak to him. Thanks for the link!

My dumbo Senators wouldn't be able to begin to understand this passage, so you must have a smart one.

Because I think Congress is a bunch of corrupt dolts, I stick to the basics:

"I have volunteered and donated to the Democrats over decades. The Equality Act is a War on Women. The Equality Act is an attack on women's sex based rights, women and children's crucial safe spaces, and women's sports. There are around 170 million women in the US, so if you Democrats want to lose all future elections, keep kicking women in the face via legislation like the Equality Act."

And that's when I'm in a GOOD mood ;-)
