Rep. Greene declares war on pro-gay rights, Equality Act
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is declaring war on the Equality Act, calling the effort to defend LGBT rights an attack on people of faith.
The far right-wing lawmaker says the act will force Christians to approve abortions and would treat transgender people the same as those born as a boy or a girl.
She also asserted it uses protecting gay rights as a smokescreen to prevent religious people from living according to their beliefs.
“It has everything to do with attacking God & believers,” Greene said.
Just to make myself clear,
I WILL BE VOTING NO TO THE DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, AND EVIL #EqualityAct!!!
It has nothing to do with stopping discrimination against the LGBT community, that could be done easily without this.

Greene called the act “disgusting” and asserted it attacks women’s rights, without elaborating.
The act, which has President Biden’s strong backing, would expand protections in the Civil Rights and Fair Housing Act to included LGBT people.
A vote in the House of Representatives is expected by the end of the week.
Greene was recently ousted from her committee assignments over her past support for political violence against liberal Democrats and claims that school shootings were staged hoaxes.
