WASHINGTON (RNS) A group of clergy and activists met with Sen. Chris Coons at Union Station, the ornate train terminal in view of the U.S. Capitol, on Tuesday (March 16) to show support for the sweeping LGBTQ rights bill known as the Equality Act, ahead of Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the bill.

A group of black pastors and prominent Christian figures, including megachurch pastor A.R. Bernard and former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson, have signed onto a letter sent to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee in opposition to the Equality Act.
Tuesday’s letter, sent the day before the committee held a hearing on a House-passed bill that would codify discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity into federal law, was spearheaded by the AND Campaign, a progressive civic engagement organization that highlights the voices of urban Christians.
