"We won the fight in the House today, and we will continue until we see these protections become law," House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., tweeted moments after the bill passed.
The bill, which is not expected to pass the Senate due to its Republican majority, adds sexual orientation and gender identity to characteristics-race, color, religion, sex, or national origin-protected from discrimination under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
If passed, the Equality Act would hurt women by "Dismantling sex-specific facilities, sports, and other female-only spaces," Heritage Foundation's explainer stated, as well as compromise the work of charities, if they were unwilling to open up sex-specific areas, such as bathrooms and housing, to anyone based on gender identity, not sex.
The explainer also said that parents' rights could be affected by the Equality Act.
By silencing the scientific debate on transgender-affirming therapies through the politicization of medicine, the Equality Act would further normalize this radical protocol, and create an expectation that parents comply.
While an administration official said "This bill in its current form is filled with poison pills that threaten to undermine parental and conscience rights," the administration has yet to issue a statement of administration policy on the bill, as it did for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and Climate Action Now Act, among others.
Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., spoke out against the legislation earlier in the week, telling The Daily Signal, "The Equality Act-or I call it the Forfeiting Women's Rights Act-takes away women's and girls' rights that we fought for for years."
