It's Italy.

The only indirect experience I have with the Mafia was at a groundbreaking ceremony where the shovel broke. One of the gals present said "I have a shovel in my trunk".

She explained it away by saying that her husband was from Sicily and no one inquired any further because it wasn't an emergency collapsible plastic snow shovel.

House Republicans Push “Compromise” Version of Equality Act

House Republicans Push “Compromise” Version of Equality Act - The New American

Nearly two dozen House Republicans are cosponsoring a bill that would make sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) a protected class under federal civil-rights law, albeit with limited exceptions for religious objectors, a piece of legislation they claim is a conservative compromise with the Democrats’ misnamed Equality Act.
The equally misnamed Fairness for All Act (FFAA), introduced by Representative Chris Stewart (R-Utah) and cosponsored by 21 other GOP congressmen plus a Republican delegate from Puerto Rico, would add SOGI to the list of classes against whom most public and private entities may not discriminate. According to the bill’s summary, it would also “expand[] the definition of public accommodation to which sex discrimination laws apply.”
Unlike the Equality Act, however, FFAA does grant exemptions to religious institutions — but it does not allow individuals or employers with more than 15 employees to opt out even if they have religious objections to the law. Those who dissent from the transgender ideology for purely secular reasons, such as not wanting their daughters to be raped in school restrooms by skirt-wearing boys, have no recourse whatsoever.
In an interview with National Review, Stewart “vehemently denied that the bill would lead to the weakening of sex-based protections for women … arguing that the concerns about the bill raised by a range of conservative-leaning groups … were ‘just wrong’ and that the bill is ‘mute’ on the question of access to single-sex spaces.” He claimed that the bill “requires the expansion of private [single-sex] spaces” but otherwise leaves decisions about sex-segregated restrooms, sports, and so on up to states and localities.

Ryan Anderson, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, begged to differ.
“The bill prohibits discrimination in federally funded programs,” he told National Review. “That includes discrimination on the basis of so-called gender identity. So if your local school is receiving federal funding for the school-lunch program or something like that, that’s going to have a huge impact on all sorts of commonsense school policies that the Left will now say are discrimination on the basis of gender identity.”
“Moreover,” wrote National Review,

the expansion of private single-sex spaces that Stewart referenced ostensibly protects “sex segregation or sex-specific programming.” But as Anderson points out, those protections are undermined by the fact that in the same sentence, the bill specifies that sex should be determined on the basis of gender identity, allowing for sex segregation only insofar as “individuals are treated in accordance with their gender identity.” Similarly, sex-based privacy accommodations for students in publicly funded institutions are only acceptable “provided that … the accommodation does not exclude any student from such a facility to which the student has a right of access or otherwise prejudice any right or privilege protected under this title.”

In addition, the bill allows practically anyone to claim to be transgender and thus be entitled to all the privileges accorded to protected classes. “A person’s gender identity,” it states, “can be shown by providing evidence, including medical history, care or treatment of the gender identity, consistent and uniform assertion of the gender identity, or other evidence that the gender identity is sincerely held, part of a person’s core identity, and not being asserted for an improper purpose.”
“Contra its framing as a ‘compromise’ between religious liberty and expanded LGBT protections,” observed National Review, “FFAA wields government power to require an affirmation of gender ideology as a precondition for participation in much of public life, with a certain set of exceptions in particular corners of the political community.”
Not for nothing did Stewart get an award from the Log Cabin Republicans for pushing this piece of legislation.
Even if one accepts the notion that FFAA is a compromise, it is a compromise in the wrong direction. It gives the radical left most of what it wants in exchange for some tiny concessions for religious institutions — concessions the LGBT activist groups, who have already declared their opposition to the bill, would surely work to eradicate should it ever become law. Besides, asked National Review, with “all of the momentum … on the Right’s side of the transgender issue,” rather than seek compromise on the matter, “why not just oppose all attempts to erode conscience rights?”

This isn't an accident or even based on feelings, its intentional. None of the depraved behaviors being passed off as normal today is a coincidence. It is a calculated agenda proven to collapse a once moral society. It worked to destroy Rome and proven again during the Weimer Republic of Germany.

Their acceptance of what they called Das 3. Geschlecht or The Third Sex, along with the first surgical sex changes, prove they were nearly 100 years ahead of their time in terms of "progress and enlightenment" in regards to the plethora of homosexual and transgendered actions being normalized.

The leftist elitist play book hasn't even changed. They are using the same tactics today, using liberalism as the vehicle to wreck havoc on their way. All they have to do is get enough people to forgo their convictions and morals in the name of acceptance and progress. We are conforming to accept wickedness as normal and decency as unnatural. They demand your tolerance while they carry out all matter of wickedness as the social norm.

Key word here is what they call "Tolerance". It is the exact opposite. What they mean by tolerance, is to capitulate to their leftist doctrines at the sacrifice of your own values. Hutton Gibson said it well,

Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil."

This sounds like the Dems get 99% of what they want, including new definitions/expansion of definitions for 'SOGI' bullshit to appease the trannies, and the little crumb the Right gets on 'religious exemptions' only for businesses with less than 15 employees.

I swear, the Right does not know how to negotiate with anything close to the skill the Left does, and sees a 99% loss as a 'compromise'.

This is why the GOP is little more than controlled opposition most of the time.

Fargin' Idiots!

Need the names of the House Republicans voting in favor of this.

Definitely time to kick any federal agency we can OUT of Texas and any other state that can pull it off.

Republicans are not the Right. They are the Far Left. Democrats are the Extremely Far Left.

And that is the problem.

...coming from a Monarchist, that doesn't mean much; you guys exist on a separate political spectrum all together, one that has no relevance to the US domestic political scene.

The GOP is at best center Right for the most part, and was growing it's voter base under Trump, because he didn't fit a neat place on the political spectrum.

The Left is going farther and farther left, while Independents like me are splitting more for the Right than Left these days, because the Left has become just that insane.

Then the Dems got their Wu Flu gift to allow ballot stuffing and such in 2020, which means all the old political calcs are worthless, and our elections damn near as much of a farce as the ones in third world dictatorships, now.

Its not that they dont know how to negotiate. Its that they dont want to.

Please tell me that's just for when you're inside a space that's open to the public. That I can understand.

If it includes wearing one when you're outdoors and/or in a private space (like someone's home or car) ...

Problem is that modern political system is based on the compromise, yet the kind of compromise I have been seeing so far from the mainstream Right is "we will give you anything you want, just don't call us racists"! At this point, they are basically Left's rubber stampers.

And they are very smart to do so. LGBTs already are an effective protected class under civil rights law after Bostock, which was a very broad ruling covering nearly everything that isn't a religious exception. Basically it held that discrimination based on Sexual orientation or Gender Identity are forms of sex discrimination. And legally, that was the right decision also, as Gorsuch points out very clearly in his opinion.

This is a way for Republicans to get everything while giving up nothing if they phrase the religious exception well (with the 15 employee's part, I don't think they did). I'd model it off of Utah's, for example, which was at the time pretty bipartisan (now the left would hate it, obviously).

So a obviously abusing the system man who wants to be called a woman should be able to sue me or you for calling them a man?

How. How does this ‘give the Republicans everything while giving up nothing’?

Also this seems to require the religious exemption being phrased well AND the Deep State and their puppets not just ignoring it.

Well the nothing being given up already happened, or more accurately almost everything was already lost in Bostock, other than the religious exemption. The religious exemption here doesn't seem big enough to me, but personally I think all discrimination laws against private citizens/companies (as opposed to those hitting government) are bad.

The gain is that instead of religious exception being a vague empty space where we don't know how big or small it is, it is now defined in law.

Also, the deep state won't be able to do much with this. The relevant parts you are (rightly) scared of are done by lawsuits, not administrative actions. If anything, this actually limits what the deep state can sue you for. That vague empty space? Currently they can sue you for doing anything in relation to that.

Now my 'everything' part was a slight overstatement, but it could give Republicans all the religious protection they might want.

So a obviously abusing the system man who wants to be called a woman should be able to sue me or you for calling them a man?

No, that's not how employer discrimination lawsuits work. They can sue the employer (not you) for allowing a harmful work environment if you are a fellow employee there and you create one and then the employer does nothing about it. Note that they already can sue for this under current law. On top of that, the bill says it must be a sincere belief.

And the wrong pronoun thing is easily avoided by referring to them by name.

It is going to cause a lot of lawsuits needlessly because people are going to claim they were not hired because they are trans.
And sincere belief is an opinion. Someone will argue they are and the court would have to prove without a doubt...
