During his State of the Union address tonight, President Biden once again called for passage of the Equality Act and attacked state laws defending women’s sports and protecting children from sexualization:

“And for our LGBTQ+ Americans, let’s finally get the bipartisan Equality Act to my desk. The onslaught of state laws targeting transgender Americans and their families is wrong.”

In response, Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project (APP), released the following statement:

“Even as his disapproval numbers tumble to new lows, Joe Biden continues to double down on his commitment to a radical ideology which voters clearly reject.

“Americans have watched with disbelief as biological males dominate women’s sporting events. Families have been shocked to discover their young children in public schools are being coached into believing they can change their sex and encouraged to make life-altering medical decisions before they can even understand the consequences. It should be no surprise that more state lawmakers are acting to address these obvious wrongs.

“Yet, as we head into a critical election, Biden has once again thrown his support behind legislation which would destroy girls’ sports nationwide and push even more children down the path of sterilizing drugs and bodily mutilation. And he has expressed only scorn for anyone who disagrees.

“This is a clarifying moment, and I am grateful that Biden and Democrats have spelled out where they stand. Soon, American families will have the opportunity to make their views known as well, and I expect it will not be a pleasant result for the president.”
