U.S. Chamber of Commerce Supporting Pro-Sodomy Bill
Timothy Birdnow
The misleadingly named Equality Act has passed the House and is going to the Senate. There is reason for worry.
According to Breakpoint USA:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce practically owns the GOP, and that is the reason we don't have a border wall right now. Mitch McConnell is up to his eyeballs in Chamber money, and he's not about to buck them - especially here, where the fight is one of a spiritual Ronald McDonald, er, Mitch McConnell doesn't care a flying frigg about morality or religion.
The article continues:
As for their argument that support for LGBTQEIEIO is somehow pro-business, I'd like to a.see their evidence and b.ask them if the Black Death was good for doctors during the Middle Ages. Yes, it was, until their patients all died. That's rather what the declining moral climate is like; the death throes of a culture. Sure, there might be a few bucks to be made now, but it won't last. In the past the Chamber would have understood that, just as they would have understood that illegal aliens invading the country will ultimately cost them.

This legislation would extend the federal level protections of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Until recently, most of us believed there wasn’t much of a chance of the Equality Act ever becoming law. That’s because it was assumed that the GOP-majority Senate, which owes its electoral viability to the support of conservative Christians, would not allow it to happen. I hope that’s still the case, but there is reason to be concerned.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently announced its support for the Equality Act. This would be a game-changer because, historically, the Chamber has been a major supporter of the GOP. For instance, in the last elections it endorsed 191 Republicans and only 7 Democrats.
If the act is brought to a vote by the Senate, all that would be required is for a handful of Republicans to vote "Yes.†It appears that Senator Susan Collins of Maine could be one of the Act’s sponsors in the Senate. That’s one down, four to go. Thus, the Chamber’s endorsement could make the difference between defeat and passage.

- In their statement, the Chamber of Commerce claimed, "Embracing equality has a profoundly positive impact on business performance,†and that "LGBT-inclusive companies enjoy higher revenue margins, attract better talent, and have lower employee turnover.â€
- In reality, however, The Equality Act does far more than outlaw discrimination. In the way Title VII would be amended, anyone who dissents from the new sexual orthodoxy would be comparable to the racists whose oppression of African-Americans made the Civil Rights Act of 1964 necessary. In the way the Equality Act would rewrite federal law, discrimination against LGBT people wouldn’t only be anything that would impede access to public accommodations; it would be anything, anything, less than fully affirming their sense of self.
- Let me be clear: the Equality Act would do nothing less than reinvent our relationship to the larger society. If it passes, standing for traditional sexual morality would essentially be outlawed.
- But that’s not all. The Equality Act is not only bad for people of faith and anyone else who objects to the new sexual orthodoxy. It’s bad for women. So bad, in fact, radical feminists are now joining with conservative Christian women to fight it. Yes, you heard that right.
