IN the NEWS - Pelosi hints

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:
Job 9:24

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi desperately hopes Democrats will retake control of Congress next month, and dropped multiple hints this week ...about what they'll do if that happens.
...the former House Speaker said Sunday during an event hosted by 92nd Street Y. “And if there is some collateral damage for some others who do not share our view, well, so be it, but it shouldn't be our original purpose.”


.......the Democrat leader said, according to the Washington Blade. “The Equality Act expands ending discrimination against LGBTQ people and women and adding that to the Civil Rights Act.”
Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill later confirmed that his boss considers the bill a “top priority,” which would be introduced “early in the year” if Democrats retake the House of Representatives.
The “Equality Act” would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include “sex,”sexual orientation,” and “gender identity” among expressly-recognized “non-discrimination” categories in “public accommodations,” which would also be expanded to include many additional types of establishments including recreation, shopping, online retailers, healthcare services, and more.

The bill would also force anyone employing 15 or more employees
--to recognize individuals’ claimed “gender identity,”
--forbid employers from “discriminating” based on “sexual orientation
--or “gender identity,”
--and mandate transgender “access” to opposite-sex restrooms,
--locker rooms,
--and dressing rooms.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer didn’t answer the Blade’s inquiries as to whether he would similarly prioritize the legislation if Democrats retake the Senate." Lifesite
