H.R. 5 erases "sex" as a legal category, with dire consequences. Inez Stepman writes:
All people are created equal, but Congress is considering a bill that would make some people more equal than others.
H.R. 5, styled the Equality Act, would redefine “sex” under federal civil-rights laws to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity,” overriding basic biology along with millennia of tradition.
This isn’t only a question of semantics. Nor is it merely an attempt to prohibit employment discrimination against sexual minorities. A 2020 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court already does that.
