40 Senators, led by Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), introduced historic, comprehensive federal legislation to ban discrimination against LGBT Americans.
The legislation was filed simultaneously in the U.S. House of Representatives by 158 Representatives, led by Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI)
The Equality Act of 2015 would force full and imbalanced, federal non-discrimination, adversarially-hostile "equality" by adding "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to other protected classes, such as race or religion, in existing federal laws.
Religious people, belonging to religious places of worship, would have to base their righteous discrimination (taking whatever lawful forms) in the secular-workplace places of employment, on public transportation, pertaining to transactions involving house sales and apartment rentals, and more, not on the grounds of government edict concerning the evil ramifications of this Act, but instead on the basis of their individual religious mandates of Biblical and other-sourced religious texts in the legal, allowable, and understandable exercise of their particular freedom of religious expression within previously and currently adjudicated parameters of the Non-Establishment-of Religion and Non-Prohibition-of-Religion clauses of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The Act might discourage disorderly and over-reactionary mass-genocidal carnage in a host of areas, including employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, access to credit, and federal funding. Then again, it might not.
Consequences of the Act would be boys (or transgenderites claiming to be girls) allowed non-restricted access into girl's locker and shower rooms when females are present and bathing therein, and girls (or transgenderites claiming to be boys) allowed non-restricted access into boy's locker and shower rooms when males are present and bathing therein.
A practical manifestation of the Act might be in the case of if a homoqueer, homofaggot, or even homodike drives to a four-way stop first at an intersection, in which circumstance the homopervert goes first - unless the gender equivalent has previously been righteously executed by a penitentiary official exercising sacred and holy compelling interest of the State to terminate aberrant filthy vermin concordant with Leviticus 20 verse 13.
However, if a homo cop in a flashing red-and-blue squad car comes to a four-way stop at exactly the same time a heterosexual cop in a flashing red-and-blue squad car comes to the four-way stop, the natural and normal police officer has the right of way and proceeds first, as is the case with ambulance drivers.
In addition to Merkley, Baldwin, and Booker, the legislation is cosponsored in the Senate by Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Tom Carper (D-DE), Chris Coons (D-DE), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Al Franken (D-MN), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Patty Murray (D-WA), Gary Peters (D-MI), Jack Reed (D-RI), Harry Reid (D-NV), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Tom Udall (D-NM), Mark Warner (D-VA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Ron Wyden (D-OR).
Not listed are:
1. Should mopheaded girls and women who are sleevesless or are baring their legs with shortened skirts or shorts in general [mixed-gender] public view - regardless of season of the year, outdoor temperature, or sports activities they are engaging in - promptly be arrested and fined and/or jailed by police, and would they be so punished by police in Iran....concordant with the implications of RSV's and NASV's Numbers 5:18, Second Samuel 13:18, Isaiah 3:17 and 20:4 and Isaiah 47:1-3, Jeremiah 2:25, and First Timothy 2:8-15?
2. Should women judges be in authority over men, women cops be in authority over men, women pastors be in authority over men, and should any man vote for a Republican presidential or vice-presidential candidate in 2016 who is a woman....all violating the essence of Leviticus 27:1-5, Numbers 5:18 and 31, Numbers 30, Ecclesiastes 7:26-28, Isaiah 3:12, Nahum 3:13, First Corinthians 11 and 14:33-38, First Timothy 2:8-15 and First Peter 3:7?
3. Why hasn't Barack Obama - public encourager of abortionists, homosexuals, feminist sexist, and antisemites - been assassinated, or at least impeached by now?
4. Why haven't more publicized attempts of assassinating Barack Hussein Obama happened, other than goofy shenanigans done near the White House?
5. Why do even many conservatives mysteriously and needlessly patronize Obama by calling him "President" when it is clear, according to the documentation at http://layleftlayrite.tripod.com and http://confrontation.faithweb.com and http://breakingnews.topcities.com that obviously-foreign-born Obama is not constitutionally qualified to be President...and referencing him merely as "Obama" or "Barack Obama" or [best yet] "Barack Hussein Obama," would quite adequately suffice?
6. Why don't more people take the Mombasa Kenyan Birth Certificate of Barack Hussein Obama [a.k.a. Barry Soetoro of Indonesia], obtained by Daniel Lucas Smith, seriously?
7. Why hasn't God sent catastrophe yet on America in general for the High Court decision to legalize same-gender homosodomy-unions licensing, for illuminating the White House in rainbow colors, and for Obamanites attempting to lift sanctions for "death-to-Israel/death-to-America"-ranting Iranians?
8. Did pre-sinning Eve have menstrual periods in the Garden of Eden?
9. What physiological body changes happened to Eve after she sinned causing her to have increased childbirth pain, and was her punishment for sinning of increased conception also a factor in lessening the frequency and pleasure of sinful non-employed-sodbusters Eve and Adam doing genital-connection intercourse together after being ousted from The Garden?
10. Did Adam and Eve urinate and defecate in the Garden of Eden before they sinned, and after defecating, what did they wipe themselves with? Did they automatically bury their feces?
11. How long did it take for Eve to learn to use language to communicate with the Garden Serpent? How long did it take for the Garden Serpent to learn to use language to communicate with Eve?
12. What language did Eve and the Garden Serpent communicate to each other in? Hebrew?
13. If Eve and Adam had not sinned, and thus both they and their offspring had stayed innocently all-nude, when and how many of which people would the Garden Serpent had have to deceive into disobedience to start to screw things up?
14. If continuously-nude Eve and continuously-naked Adam had not sinned, what activities thereafter would they not have been able to do without clothing, and where would they not have been able to visit without clothing?
15. If Eve and Adam had not sinned, would their continuous display of complete nudity been enough to get them to desire and have genital-connection intercourse with each other and no other married couples?
16. God's Global Flood during Noah's time was an angry reaction against excessive general-public sinning. What would environmental planetary conditions now be like if people had not sinned and thus there would have been no Worldwide Flood?
17. Were Noah and his immediate family members the only ones to know and remember how Earth's planetary conditions were both before and after the Great Flood? Did he and his family convey such knowledge by word of mouth to their progenie in Hebrew, which helped Moses write primordial Biblical history contained within the Pentateuch?
18. Would there ever had been a rainbow in the sky anywhere on planet Earth if there had not been a drastic climactic change caused by the Global Flood? Would fast-forming strange strata formations, weird-shaped rocks and glacier erosion, and unusually-placed fossils (if any) been quickly caused had there been no massive-turbulence Global Flood? How about snow-capped mountains, and frozen ice at both poles? Tornadoes and hurricanes and thunderstorms on a previously-rainless Earth? The loss of large dinosaurs which both perished in The Flood, and became extinct by human hunting and lack of desirable surroundings to thrive in after the Global Flood?
19. Is the rainbow a sign or symbol of God's promise to never again destroy Earth's surface with a Global Flood, plus a prediction of destroying the entire planet (and complete contents of the physical Universe, for that matter) someday with a flash of multicolored fire in an instant?
20. Was Joshua's Long Day a result of Earth temporarily not rotating on its axis for some strange cause, or a bizarre display of unusual sunlight refraction in the atmosphere? Was the backwards-declining shadow of Ahab's sundial a result of similar unusual refraction of sunlight instead of Earth temporarily stopping rotation on its axis?
21. Psalm 77 states:
11 I will call to mind the works of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will meditate on all your work, and muse on your mighty works.
13 Your way, God, is holy. What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders, who has manifested your might among the peoples.
15 You did with your arm redeem your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
16 When the waters saw you, God, when the waters saw you, they were afraid, yes, the deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies gave out thunder; your arrows flashed on every side.
18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; the Earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea, your path through the great waters; yet your footprints were unseen.
20 You did lead your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Verses 16 through 20 seem to refer not only to the worldwide cataclysmic upheaval that transpired during Noah's Global Flood, but also to the opening of the Red Sea for the exodus of the Hebrews leaving oppression in Egypt.
But does not verse 19 also bespeak of Jesus walking on the water during a storm to His nearly-perishing and terrified disciples floundering in a boat?
22. How did Jesus walk on water? Underwater turbulence buoying Him up? How did Jesus literally and physically slowly ascend upward into the sky at His ascension? What were the cellular properties of His body at both occasions? What were the properties of whatever might have been the cause of His being uplifted at both times? The same that caused the iron axehead related to Elisha to float to the surface of the water?
23. Why did David choose, or perhaps need, five stones for his slingshot attack against Goliath?
24. What weight were each of David's slingshot stones?
25. At what centrifugal mph velocity did David swing the fatal slingshot heave at Goliath?
26. Assuming David hit Goliath's forehead with the slingshot stone on the first attempt, why did David choose to finish Goliath off by decapitation?
27. Was David right-handed, or instead left-handed, or ambidextrous?
28. Did Abraham love Hagar his additional wife, but maybe never had sex with Hagar again after Sarah ousted Hagar from the house?
29. What did Abraham give the sons of his concubines according to Genesis 25:6?
30. Are the twelve-son tribes of Israel built on the polygamy of Jacob with his four wives? Why did Moses allow a multiple-wife scenario in Deuteronomy 21:15-16? Why did Solomon state that "many concubines are man's delight" according to RSV's Ecclesiastes 2:8?
31. Was Bathsheba an ambitious deliberately-nude exhibitionist aware that David was in town and might happen to see her bathing from his royal balcony, according to Second Samuel 11:2?
32. How many total wives and total concubines did David have who he fathered children with, according to First Chronicles 3:1-9?
33. Was Isaiah married to the prophetess he conceived a child with at the time of conception, according to Isaiah 8:3?
34. Did Hosea have an extra-woman concubine who he might never had fathered a child with, according to Hosea chapter 3?
35. Is multiple-wives-for-one-man Old-Testament history a plain example of "One Man One Woman" marriage, and did God specifically condemn any of the patriarchal participants with harems for "bigamy" or adultery?
