In February, the House of Representatives passed a bill called the Equality Act, which seeks to extend protections of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to sexual orientation and gender identification. A similar bill passed the house last year; this version includes a provision that states there can be no exemption based on religious objection. In light of what this legislation could mean for churches around the world if it passes the Senate, we will explore this issue in the context of what God created in the Bible and learn how we can uphold our religious beliefs while treating every single human being with the upmost respect.
