Conservative Groups Launch Movement to Protect Children From Gender Identity Politics
by Janita Kan, Epoch Times:
A coalition of conservative groups is asking parents and lawmakers to join a movement that seeks to take gender identity and sexual orientation politics out of a child’s upbringing.
The “Promise to America’s Children” initiative seeks to protect children and parents who wish to subscribe to traditional or religious views of gender, sexuality, abortion, and life from being coerced to comply with government policies that penalize them for not doing so. It was launched by The Heritage Foundation, Family Policy Alliance, and Alliance Defending Freedom.
It comes as Congress members push for the passage of the Equality Act, which seeks to prohibit “discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes.” The bill was again introduced in Congress on Feb. 18 after failing to pass in 2019 when then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) refused to consider the law.
President Joe Biden has vowed to enact the Equality Act during his first 100 days as president. It also seeks to classify “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as protected classes under federal law, while expanding protections for LGBTQ individuals in public spaces and services.
