Three Republican House Members Vote With Democrats to Force All Schools To Allow Men to Compete With Girls, Making No Exception for Religious Schools

What is the point of voting for this party?

Three Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the Equality Act on Thursday. Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Tom Reed (R-NY), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) voted with Democrats on the vote to ensure "sexual orientation and gender identity are included among protected classes -- without protection for religious objections."

If the bill becomes law, it would likely upend the national culture as Americans have known it, affecting women's and girls' sports, privacy in public facilities, and faith-based institutions.

Katko, Reed, and Fitzpatrick disagreed with their Republican opponents that say the legislation would force women and girls to share private spaces with men.

Lie! They know damn well that's what it would do; this is a Failure Theater pose. They vote for the thing and then later claim "But I didn't know it did that! Please send me money so that I can do the impossible and overturn this law I passed! Money please! I am ready to FIGHT FOR YOU!"

Fuck you.

Republicans also say the bill could facilitate men participating in women's sports if they identify as female.

If the Equality Act passes in the Senate as well, President Joe Biden is expected to sign it into law.

Moderate centrism. Thanks, Conservative, Inc.!
