The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will limit its enforcement of certain gender-identity discrimination claims against members of the Christian Employers Alliance under a new settlement.
The Christian Employers Alliance (CEA), a group representing Christian employers, sued the EEOC in January 2025, arguing that the agency “improperly applied Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to force employers to affirm and accommodate” transgender employees, reports HR Brew.
Not only does it not exist, someone who was gender-nonconforming specifically led the disciples of Jesus to the place of the Last Supper.
Luke 22:7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9“Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
This is super easy to miss for modern readers, because we don’t register carrying water as a gendered activity. But it was absolutely gendered in Jesus’ time and place; it was a women’s activity. This verse is the equivalent of Jesus saying ‘go downtown and find the guy in a business suit and red high heels, he’ll show you the right place.’
Fantastic advice if The Right Place is a dungeon
