Trump's First Amendment Defense Act Would Be 'Devastating' for LGBTQ Americans

[Doobie Doo]

Well if you are NC you are fukkED! Can't file discrimination lawsuits on a state level because of HB2 bill. With this bill we couldn't file on the Federal level either.


FADA would prohibit the federal government from taking "discriminatory action" against any business or person that discriminates against LGBTQ people. The act distinctly aims to protect the right of all entities to refuse service to LGBTQ people based on two sets of beliefs: "(1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman, or (2) sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage."

Ironically, the language of the bill positions the right to discriminate against one class of Americans as a "first amendment" right, and bans the government from taking any form of action to curb such discrimination—including withholding federal funds from institutions that discriminate. FADA allows allows individuals and businesses to sue the federal government for interfering in their right to discriminate against LGBTQ people and would mandate the Attorney General defend the businesses.

If people will be allowed to refuse service based on real or perceived LGBT status, what will be next?

This will allow businesses or hospitals to sue the government if they interfere with their right to discriminate

Only a matter of time before they pass another "religious freedom" bill to discriminate against blacks and other minorities
