So-called "equality act" in Congress declares Bible a bigoted document
The Coalition for Jewish values is disturbed by how the Democrats' forced pandering to LGBT ideology basically ends up damning the Bible:
Update: on a related note, Ryan T. Anderson's discussing the censorship of the issue along with cancel culture:
The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), representing over 1500 traditional, Orthodox rabbis in matters of public policy, called today for the rejection of the Equality Act as “a direct attack on Jewish religious values and practices.” The Equality Act, H.R. 5, is slated for votes on Thursday in the House of Representatives. [...]Specifically, the "act" is meant to enable male transvestites to infiltrate and violate a woman's privacy, and that could even be at religious institutions and synagogues. But don't be shocked if the Democrats manage to pass this through in their effort to destroy everything about the Constitution that's meant to protect innocents from the harm this'll end up doing in the long run. It's very sad it had to come to this.
For example, the text refers to “the sex stereotype that marriage should only be between heterosexual couples” as a discriminatory belief. Per the letter:
The Equality Act expressly declares that the Book of Genesis and all of the Jewish laws pertaining to marriage as a sanctified union between man and woman (called “kiddushin” in Hebrew, from the word “kadosh,” Holy) are nothing more than engagement in discriminatory stereotypes. This is a disgraceful attack upon Jewish Biblical beliefs, rendered no more excusable by the fact that other traditional religious groups have similar tenets.
The letter also lists numerous elements of normative observant Jewish practices which would be grounds for a discrimination complaint under the proposed legislation, including separate seating at weddings, single-gender dancing, and even separate hours for swimming. “A law which would require recognition of the gender a person prefers to be… would demand we cease to operate in accordance with our sincerely-held beliefs, moral values and religious education — expressly violating our religious liberty,” the rabbis said.
Update: on a related note, Ryan T. Anderson's discussing the censorship of the issue along with cancel culture:
Shutting down the conversation surrounding certain topics such as transgenderism, Anderson said, is dangerous and only enabled by policies such as the Democrat-proposed Equality Act.Absolutely correct.
“It’s an abuse of our civil rights law when we add all these different protected classes and when we treat reasonable disagreements as if they’re discriminatory,” Anderson concluded. “We’ve done it on the gay marriage debate; we’re now doing it on the transgender debate. And the Equality Act would just make this worse.”
