Democrats, have a lot of nerve thinking the Senate will pass anything they propose!

Part 2 - you know what changes the narrative? Having someone gay or trans working in the Executive Branch.

Do u really think, in the grand scheme of things this matters? You have an administration that has violated every norm, every law, every policy US has ever implemented with no regard to impact on its people. This does nothing to change the narrative

What the he'll is This?! This is a problem! Trump works awhile waitinging to get re e le cted!!Why doethis sound stupid? So he can slash, crash and deny any logical ledgislatjoion to further undermine ourprimedirective

The magic has gone, democracy is cursed, white people better pull themselves out of it before it's too late.

I thought we already had equality laws in place. This is appeasement and vote seeking

A Happy Day, until it gets to the senate. If the bill sees the light of day on the senate floor, the republican posse of Pence and Mitch will destroy that bill.

Too bad it will die and decompose in the Senate, just like old Turtle likes it.

And now to sit on McConnell’s desk and gather dust.

equity act on wat to wat bottomline religious freedom liberty on stores private buseness will indeed truley have there rights to act there freedom of religion

Imagine the audacity it takes to stand on the floor of the US Senate and declare “No, you are not equal to me, and Yes, I think it’s appropriate for others and myself to discriminate against you because you are different from me.” 53 Republican Senators are about to do just that.

Don't worry, homophobes, et al.Even if the Act does pass in the Senate, no one will make you get LGBTQ married, talk nice to or about them, etc. You'll still be able to discriminate against LGBTQ people. SCOTUS ruled you could as long as you say it's for religious reasons.

How you vote in any election, writing your congressdotgov, and protest peacefully is the sure way to know how laws are passed and governed.

Dotard is catering to the regressive, oppressive MINORITY.

So, what law takes precedence if the Senate passed the Equality Act? SCOTUS ruled that anyone can discriminate against LGBTQ people on religious grounds. If the Act passes, can LGBTQ people be discriminated against or not?

Yeah, having a mental disorder should really be covered under discrimination laws. Tomorrow I will identify as a woman and use the women's facilities at all the local grocery stores and gyms. Maybe there will be a day I identify as a police officer and go arrest criminals.

lol It ain't going no where. HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

I didn't hear anyone from Admin say anything against it. just more fake news from the cronies at

The big hammers are getting ready! Is msnbc going to cover it? Btw - where’s comrade radical Islamist Hussein these days? Still in country?

So, what about those who choose to be celibate? Do they get their own civil rights bill?

Hopefully rejected by Senate. This bill is garbage.
