On July 26, shortly after the House passed another anti-faith, pro-LTGBQ bill, more than 80 national religious leaders sent an urgent letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Those men and women from dozens of Christian ministries, organizations and universities wrote "to denounce H.R.8404, the so-called 'Respect for Marriage Act,' in the strongest possible terms."

They want McConnell to rally Republicans in the Upper Chamber to stop H.R.8404 from becoming the law. The gay-rights and trans-rights legislation would punish conservatives, Christians and other people of faith who hold traditional views of marriage and sexuality. The letter also insists:

"The Act, which was suddenly rushed through the House without any public hearings or input, is an attack on millions of Americans, particularly people of faith, who believe marriage is between one man and one woman and that legitimate distinctions exist between men and women concerning family formation that should be recognized in the law."

Those religious leaders warned McConnell that the bill will "endanger people of faith," while doing nothing to strengthen or change current law on same-sex marriage: "H.R.8404 aims to shut down any disagreement, silencing those with the long-held conviction that marriage between one man and one woman is essential to human flourishing, a view that has existed from the dawn of time."

If you're among the millions of Americans who, as the letter describes, "decline to openly embrace extreme views regarding marriage and human sexuality," the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act" is a direct threat to your First Amendment right to religious freedom!

The Senate is expected to vote soon on the anti-faith, pro-LGBTQ H.R.8404. If you want GOP Senators to protect the constitutional rights of conservatives, Christians and other people of faith who reject same-sex marriage, sign the national petition to stop the "Dis-Respect For Marriage Act"!
