HR 5, the “Equality Act,” passes House, faces tough fight in Senate
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on TelegramShare on TwitterShare on WeChat

Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted 224-206 to pass HR 5, the (grossly misnamed) “Equality Act.” Along with every House Democrat, three Republicans voted for the measure: John Katko (NY-24), Tom Reed (NY-23), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1).

The vote was quickly celebrated by liberals and Democrats, while lamented by conservatives.

The House just passed this extreme bill. What does it require? If you perform a mastectomy in the case of breast cancer, you will have to perform one on the teenage girl identifying as a boy. All in the name of equality. https://t.co/SPt7nf9ERW

Though Democrat leaders have expressed optimism about the passage of the Act in the Senate, conservatives remain hopeful that the bill will be defeated there. It would take a number of “defecting” Republicans to break a legislative filibuster of the bill, which seems unlikely.

Nonetheless, lobbying efforts are kicking into high gear as both sides prepare for what is sure to be a fight in the Senate. The National Organization for Marriage, which has lobbied against the Equality Act for several years, has re-launched its website, www.inequalityact.com, and is urging people to sign a petition to the Senate urging Senators to oppose the legislation. You can sign the petition by clicking below.
