Bob Marshall served 26 years in the Virginia House of Delegates and was the chief House sponsor of the 2006 voter-approved Virginia Marriage Amendment and a ban on late term abortion. ..

The so-called Equality Act, HR 5, pushed by President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, will prevent churches which follow sexual morality as taught by Moses and Jesus Christ from obtaining commercial bank loans. Individuals who abide by the same teaching will see their employment opportunities severely curtailed under the bogus Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) provisions of HR 5.

No construction loans for Christian churches, schools, charities

The Equality Act adds “sexual orientation and gender identity” to prohibited classes of discrimination in public accommodations [see HR5, Sec. 3, (a) (1)]. A “public accommodation” is “any establishment that provides a good, service, or program….” [HR5, Sec. 3, (a) (4)]
