So-Called 'Equality Act' Could Undo Free Speech, Mandate Murder Of Unborn Children, Make Pedophiles A 'Protected Class'
A bill positioned as the "Equality Act" is gradually moving its way through Congress, and is designed to "crush moral decency and religious freedom beneath the feet of the radical LGBT & Q lobby," says experts. Read more at Million Voices.
THINK.
- The so-called "Equality Act" aims to make abortion a federal right, and seeks to punish anyone (particularly Christians and other religious institutions) that do not promote the murder of unborn children, according to the bill language and analysis by Liberty Counsel Action.
- The bill is being called a "dangerous ambush of religious freedoms," and may also allow pedophiles to become a "protected class" under the specific language used.
- This abhorrent attack against children comes from the "Q" in the LGBTQ definition of sexual orientation, which Cosmopolitan described as "Queerness is an umbrella term that is both an orientation and a community. ... The vagueness of the term is intentional— queer is an identity created for anyone outside of the heterosexual norm and meant to be inclusive."
- LGBTQ Nation added in their analysis that "... the Q in LGBTQ can also signify other sexual orientations and genders not covered by the acronym's preceding letters. If you're gender-neutral, non-binary, agender, genderfluid, pansexual, asexual, solosexual or something else not covered by LGBT, the Q has got you covered!"
- Among other things, the "Equality Act" will mean that:
- Biological men will have the “right” to use women’s bathrooms, showers and locker rooms — even in schools.
- Churches will be forced to provide equal access to LGBTQ ceremonies if the facilities are open to natural marriage ceremonies.
- Churches and religious schools would be forced to hire staff involved in LGBTQ conduct; give men access to restrooms, locker rooms, showers and sports; allow boys to bunk with girls on camping and overnight trips; and provide insurance to cover hormones, mutilating surgeries, and chemical and surgical abortions.
- Noncompliant churches and schools will lose federal, state, and local tax exemptions and accreditations.
- From pre-K, children will be taught that they can choose their gender, will be encouraged to experiment with each other to find their "identities" and will be able to demand opposite, both and neither sex pronouns (he for a girl, zie for neither, mx for both).
- Pregnancy centers will be forced to provide abortion referrals.
PRAY.
Dear God, we pray the Equality Act does not pass. Thank You for giving Christians and Churches the right to legally engage in our political process in the biggest ways possible and fight back against the insanity of bills like this. We pray that every single person who reads this article, email, or anything to do with the Equality Act moves quickly to tell their lawmakers to reject it in the Name of God! Amen.
ACT.
Your Sunday service doesn’t have to be political, but your day-to-day life outside of His four walls will always be dictated — in large part — by your elected officials. Ignorance of politics is like handing over control of your life to the greediest, most power-hungry serpent in the room. When we Use Our Voice, we bring a more Biblical worldview to our nation. That is why we created RestoreAmericanSchools.com – where you bring back the Ten Commandments to classrooms across Texas and Arkansas, and hopefully the rest of America’s great states. Do not miss out on this incredible opportunity to bring back what was once a core part of our America’s curriculum for more than two hundred years.
Majority Of Americans Support Teacher-Led Prayer In Schools
A Pew Research study promoted in June 2025 revealed that a majority of Americans support teacher-led prayer in public schools. Read more at Million Voices.
THINK.
- A little over half of U.S. adults who responded to the study (52%) said they support allowing teachers in public schools to lead their classrooms in prayer that refers to Jesus Christ, according to Pew.
- Some 27% said they strongly favor this action, while 26% said they favor it, suggesting that this is a significant want for many Americans.
- The survey was conducted within a cohort of 37,000 U.S. adults from every single state, including the District of Columbia.
- Across 22 states, more adults said they favor teachers leading classes in prayer more than they oppose it.
- "Support for Christian prayer in schools is particularly high in parts of the South, including Mississippi (81%), Alabama (75%), Arkansas (75%), Louisiana (74%) and South Carolina (71%)," the study authors wrote in their analysis.
PRAY.
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that Your word returns to every single classroom across America. We pray you strike down every single drop of evil stopping Your word from echoing in the minds of all children. We know it is our responsibility to enact Your will during our time on Earth, Father. Forgive all of us who sit idly by and allow evil to penetrate in the minds of our youth when You have given us every single power to stop this abhorrent behavior. Help us see Your light and shine it in all of the darkest places. In Your Name, Father, Amen.
ACT.
Bringing a Biblical Worldview back to the American cultural norm is definitely a large part of our purpose during our time on Earth. God put you right here, right now, for a reason. Yes, part of that reason is to engage in Christian entertainment and champion its success, but we also have a responsibility to normalize His Word to the youngest generations. Children are not born innocent; they must be guided into His Light as we all were. Check out our latest project at RestoreAmericanSchools.com and sign up to bring His Word back to classrooms in Texas, Arkansas, and hopefully the rest of America very, very soon.
Faith Leaders 'Say Amen' As Senator Predicts Legal Victories For Ten Commandments In Texas
Faith and political leaders alike are speaking up in support of returning the Ten Commandments to schools across Texas in July, despite lawsuits trying to stop this historical document from being taught to children. Read more at Million Voices.
THINK.
- Senate Bill 10 passed earlier this year, mandating that all Texas classrooms display the Ten Commandments as they are seen across the state, particularly on the grounds of the Austin capitol grounds.
- Ten Commandments, aside from being the foundation of law and human behavior across Western civilization for the last 3,000 years, are also part of America's foundational history.
- These core laws for life were taught as part of a normal curriculum since before America became a nation, and were only removed roughly 50 years ago thanks to a short-lived legal precedent by the Supreme Court, which was overturned in 2022.
- "As for me I would say that posting the Ten Commandments in the schools will truly promote moral values, provide a historical and cultural context for law and ethics and offer a framework for ethical behavior for the future generation," pastor Mariya James of St. Stephen Catholic Church in Weatherford told the Weatherford Democrat in July.
PRAY.
Dear Lord, Thank You again for giving us the opportunity to bring Your word to the hearts and minds of children in a nation that has already normalized its own decline through removing You from our public spaces. Forgive us, Lord, for our inaction in trying to understand the importance of Your word in the founding of our nation. Without You, America would not exist. Without You, we would not exist. Please guide us Lord as we champion Your word in all of our public spaces without shame, fear, judgment. Amen.

Chip And Joanna Gaines Accused Of Abandoning Their Core Customer Base, So Move Onto The Next
Chip and Joanna Gaines have come under heavy scrutiny from Christians across America in mid-July as they stand accused of abandoning their core customer base and faith in favor of potential profits. Read more at Million Voices.
THINK.
- The Gaines family was accused in July of going woke with their latest show "Back To The Frontier," by including a homosexual couple and their two sons, while also preaching on social media about how important church is to them and their kin.
- "The Gaineses have effectively told the entire evangelical world that gay marriage is acceptable and it’s reasonable for children to be exposed to those relationships. All done for the mighty dollar," wrote Joe Edge of the Augusta Press, echoing sentiments shared across social media and the press as millions of Americans feel let down by one of the country's most beloved reality television couples.
- Journalist Megan Basham asked the open question of whether "Chip and Joanna about to have a Bud Light moment or does this blow over in a couple days?" referring back to when Bud Lite, one of America's most popular beers, decided to put a transgender parading as an awful, faux-example of a woman, as their main spokeswoman -- leading to an almost total collapse of the company's profit and near-extinction of the Bud Lite brand.
- She later added that she allegedly does "have a business-y type friend who told me that they may have been starting to flop with their core customer base and so they’re looking to capture another," which follows claims made by Edge that their choice to include the homosexual couple that is simply to try and make money.
PRAY.
Dear God, we pray that Chip and Joanna realize that their core fanbase does not support gay marriage and that if they wish to continue selling out their faith for the almighty dollar, their fans will turn away from them as they have turned away from You. We pray that You save Chip and Joanna from their love of the money, and see the failure in their behavior. We pray for them, their salvation, the children of this gay couple, and the salvation of our species. In Your Name, Lord. Amen.
ACT.
Chip and Joanna Gaines may have fallen from grace, but you don’t have to. You always have a choice to choose light in the places of darkness, and to pray for all those who swim in the deepest, darkest waters. It is never too late for any man, woman, or child to find their love in Jesus Christ. All it takes is repentance. If Chip and Joanna were to apologize to their fans and to Our Lord and Savior, would you forgive them? Tell us your answers by emailing kay@millionvoices.org
