Chai Feldblum, President Obama's nominee to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), wants to use the government to promote every type of relationship as equal to traditional marriage, including "polyamorous" relationships (involving three or more sexual partners).

She intendes to use her position of influence as EEOC commissioner to force private institutions to follow her radical vision of society, through the enforcement of aggressive and intrusive employment non-discrimination laws.

[Please see our press release: Senate must reject activist EEOC nominee]


She has stated on camera: "We want to change the American workforce and revolutionize social norms...Our current public policies undermine the moral and political unit of same sex couples and families and that's a moral wrong that needs to be rectified."

Feldblum is a lesbian activist and self-described "legislative lawyer/equality scholar." She believes "the reason government should provide marriage licenses to same-sex couples is in order to convey approval of gay relationships and gay sexual conduct." ["Gay is Good: The Moral Case for Marriage Equality and More," Yale Journal of Law and Feminism 139 (2005), p. 8.]

Feldblum even agrees that "Committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner" - in other words, "polyamorous" relationships - are equal "socially, economically, and spiritually" [to any other relationship]." Her widest-possible definition of what the government should promote as a relationship flies in the face of what the majority of Americans believe about the uniqueness of traditional marriage, and about the proper role of government in domestic situations.

The EEOC is already conducting harassment against religious organizations. It recently accused Belmont Abbey College of discrimination for following its core religious convictions. The situation is still being disputed.

Feldblum has written: "Once a religious person or institution enters the stream of commerce by operating an enterprise such as a doctor's office, hospital, bookstore, hotel, treatment center, and so on, I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity." Feldblum believes that every organization must ascribe to her vision of society or else face penalties from the EEOC.

Worse than this, the potential damage from Feldblum's nomination is not limited to her use of the EEOC as a weapon against traditional marriage and private institutions.  It is even possible to imagine Chai Feldblum as a future nominee for the United States Supreme Court, should she be successfully appointed as EEOC commissioner.

That means its urgent to defeat her Senate confirmation now, while Americans still have a say.
