This comes as reports Wednesday revealed a majority of states are working to restrict access to sports and medical treatments based on gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>Republican lawmakers are rejecting the Democrat-led Equality Act. They believe the measure poses a threat to religious freedoms as the bill also bans any objections due to religious beliefs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The so-called Equality Act forces girls to share locker rooms with boys, destroys girls sports, takes children away from their parents, and forces doctors to perform taxpayer-funded abortions.<\/p>\n<p>I gave a FIREY speech against this monstrosity\ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Sc4YcDRDIf\">pic.twitter.com\/Sc4YcDRDIf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
