Millions of Americans will be facing one of the worst discrimination laws in the country’s history very soon. The First Amendment Defence Act (FADA) is a national law that would make it legal for businesses, organisations, or individuals to turn away LGBT people.
President-elect Donald Trump promised months ago “If I am elected president and Congress passes the First Amendment Defense Act, I will sign it...”
It's not just about cake shops and restaurants turning away customers. A critically ill gay man could be turned away from a hospital. His husband could be denied the right to see him. Even the sick child of lesbian parents could be refused medical care.
LGBT Americans will officially and legally be categorised as second-class citizens – all because someone could claim interacting with them goes against their religion.
We’ll send you a free “FIGHTING BACK” tote bag, as our gift to you.
Members of Congress have already promised to bring FADA to the floor of the Republican-controlled Congress this year. It won’t be hard for FADA to make it to Trump’s desk.
Restaurants could freely hang “NO GAYS ALLOWED” signs. State-based anti-discrimination laws could be legally ignored.
Our community could be pushed back into the shadows, after fighting so hard for the recognition of our human rights.
All Out’s staff is located all around the world. When I speak to our US-based team, they tell me how determined they are to prevent this new regime from turning the clock back on the rights of LGBT Americans. But they really need your help.
All Out members like you are based around the world, too. Together, we can send a powerful message to Trump’s regime: take away the rights of some of us and you have to deal with ALL of us.
Thanks for going All Out,Matt Beard,
Executive Director
