Members of the Republican Freedom Caucus said they oppose the Democrats’ Equality Act because the legislation goes against the liberties outlined in the U.S. Constitution and would give the federal government the power to dictate how American think and act regarding gender and sex, infringing on citizens’ religious rights.

“This body being led by Democrats is trampling on the rights of the American people in the name of equality, in the false name of equality,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) at a Freedom Caucus press conference on Thursday.
