To pass the Equal Rights Amendment?
The text would have to be changed a bit to include everyone - women, LGBT and every type of gender definition - because you can rest assured the enemies of liberty will work tirelessly to seek out every loophole, every possible division they can make to break us. This recent nonsense in Indiana, Arkansas and elsewhere is proof of that.
There is no lie they will not swallow, no premise too dubious for them to feign victimization, to equate themselves with the discriminated and disenfranchised. The great irony is creating an illusion of being marginalized is the tactic they use to expose the "problem" of not being free to express their bigotry. Their insane position is that they are a righteous David fighting against a great and powerful "gay agenda" and "Hollywood liberal elite" mechanized Goliath. These ridiculous laws protect them from being victimized by legalizing their right to discriminate.
It is time to call out this hypocrisy and end state-sanctioned discrimination forever. A constitutional amendment won't cure this problem, but it's a great place to start. And it's long overdue.
