today I am not sure women or people with different sexual orientations face that kind of discrimination. I just don’t see it.
There is some opposition to the idea that sexual orientation and gender identity are in the same category of characteristics as race, ethnicity, age, disability, or sex assigned at birth. Instead, anti-gay groups [21]
James Dobson, founder of the socially conservative Focus on the Family, opposed the Act, arguing that it would effectively "muzzle people of faith who dare to express their moral and biblical concerns about homosexuality".[12][22] However, H.R. 1592 contains a "Rule of Construction" which specifically provides that "Nothing in this Act...shall be construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal prohibition by, or any activities protected by the free speech or free exercise clauses of, the First Amendment to the Constitution".[23]
Senator Jeff Sessions, among other Senators, was concerned that the bill would not protect all individuals equally.[24] Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina spoke against the bill, saying that it was unnecessary, that it violated the 14th Amendment, and that it would be a step closer to the prosecution of "thought crimes".[25][26] Four members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights wrote a letter stating their opposition to the bill, citing concerns of double jeopardy.[27]
