The Most Dangerous Bill of Our Time: The So-Called "Equality Act" -- Robert A. J. Gagnon

Gagnon, a professor of New Testament at Houston Baptist University, explained in 2019 how the Democrats' proposed Equality Act endangers religious liberty, opens the door for excluding Christians from the professions, and eliminates any protection for women's private spaces against men who claim to be women. This same bill was blocked by Republicans in the Senate and White House in 2019, but now, barring a successful filibuster or the defection of centrist Democrats, is apt to pass.
