Dear John,

This year, FRC has raised the alarm about the Equality Act, a sweeping rewrite of civil rights law that would enshrine into law discrimination against citizens with biblical and traditional views of morality.

That proposed bill attempts to erase freedom of thought and belief, along with the ability to hold a different opinion while remaining free from government retribution.

Unfortunately, the constant barrage from LGBT activists and allies in the White House, mainstream media, and Big Tech is tempting some to give up or give in.

While the Equality Act may yet advance, talk on Capitol Hill has shifted to a so-called "compromise" bill.

Some are being conned into backing the Fairness for All Act, an ill-advised and poorly drafted "compromise" bill that fails to prevent the harms that would be inflicted by the Equality Act. Yet a new poll out last week by a group promoting the legislation claims that a majority of Americans support its approach.

Family Research Council is among a small remnant calling out both bills as dangerous threats to religious liberty, women's rights, children's health, parental rights, the medical profession's conscience rights, and more.

We must remain active and engaged to halt the destructive ideologies of the Left, who attempt to use radical laws to influence all of society. To ensure FRC has the resources needed to voice your values -- at the grassroots level and to our nation's leaders -- can you give today?

The Equality Act would mandate government-imposed inequality and unfairness by requiring acceptance of a particular ideology about sexual ethics, leaving no room for differing opinions and legitimate public debate.

For instance, it would force women and girls to share bathrooms, locker rooms, showers, and even battered women's shelters with biological males who identify as female.

Further, medical professionals would be mandated to perform gender transition procedures against their conscience or professional opinion.

Under any name, the Equality Act intends to normalize dangerous hormone therapies, shockingly permitted in some states without parents even being aware.

With these bills, the state is telling private religious citizens, educators, student-athletes, and wedding service providers: "Submit, or else. Your religion be hanged."

For those who think the Fairness for All Act (which is essentially Equality Act-lite) will placate the Left, they've got it wrong. LGBT activist groups have already said they object to it.

The ACLU, Human Rights Campaign (the nation's largest LGBT advocacy organization), LAMBDA Legal, and GLAAD would simply use that halfway measure as a springboard to push for full enactment of Equality Act policies.

LGBT activists are relentless in their push to force all Americans -- including those of faith -- to affirm their ideology. They will use any means necessary.

Simply put, the Equality Act mandates an anti-life, anti-family, and anti-faith agenda throughout federal law and would be a disaster for all Americans.

We are working with conservatives in Congress to ensure the truth is heard. Will you stand with FRC as we push back against the radical Left's agenda?

When it comes to this radical transgender ideology, the Biden-Harris administration isn't interested in any sort of half-measures. He said as much during the presidential campaign.

"Let's be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise," stated Biden last year.

In part, we agree: we see "no room" for the "compromise" version of extreme policies (Fairness for All). Unlike this administration, we're with families who want no part of it.

We must hold the line. Will we be courageous -- or will we compromise?

Our heart for the next generation to reject confusion flows from a biblical worldview.

It is up to Christian parents to impart truth, starting at the beginning with the book of Genesis: "...in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them... And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good." (Gen. 1:27, 31)

In our lives and in our nation, we must abide by truth -- or face consequences.

Thank you in advance for your support of FRC at this critical moment. As part of our stewardship, be assured we will report back on how these initiatives are advancing.

Your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
