LGBT activists mad at demise of anti-‘conversion’ therapy group under Alberta’s new governing party

Image
Alberta’s newly minted United Conservative Party government is under fire from media and LGBT activists for the demise of an NDP ad hoc group tasked with advising the former health minister on banning so-called conversion therapy. Such therapy aims to help individuals overcome unwanted same-sex attraction or gender confusion, and though evidence exists it does much good, the nearly universally accepted view now advanced in Canada by media, LGBT activists, and healthcare professionals are that it is a harmful pseudo-science. It is sometimes called reparative therapy. Ontario, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia have all outlawed therapists helping people overcome such unwanted feelings, and B.C.’s Green Party leader Andrew Weaver introduced similar legislation on Monday. Weaver’s bill would ban therapy for unwanted gay attractions or gender confusion for individuals under age 19, and severely restrict its availability to adults, the Vancouver Sun reported. “It is particularly importan

200 ex-LGBT men, women rally to show freedom they’ve found in following Jesus

Ex-homosexual and ex-transgender men and women from around the country descended upon the Nation’s Capital this weekend for the Second Annual ‘Freedom March’ where they proclaimed the freedom they've found in abandoning homosexual and transgender practices.  “Look at this!  This is Amazing!  They say we don’t exist!” declared author and documentary producer  M.J. Nixon , a March co-founder, as many gathered for a group picture.  About 200 participated this year—a threefold increase over last year. Former transwoman Jeffrey McCall  kicked off the rally on the grounds of the Washington Monument, explaining that nobody here was forced to change; “It was the power of the Holy Spirit and the grace of Jesus Christ that fell on all of us.” One testimony after another from the racially diverse group of mostly millennials spoke about their personal conversion to Jesus and the freedom they have found from lives dominated by active homosexuality or gender dysphoria.  Our ident

The chilling evidence that Jordan Peterson was right: transgender ideology is ‘totalitarian’

A so-called "human rights tribunal" in Canada has just ruled that a Christian activist must pay $55,000 to a provincial politician because he referred to this politician as a "biological male" in a political pamphlet. The politician in question, Morgane Oger (born Ronan Oger), is a biological male. However, he has since "transitioned," and is living his life as a "transgender woman." According to the decision, Bill Whatcott must compensate Oger for injuring the latter's "dignity, feelings, and self-respect." The terrifying precedent set by this case can be illustrated by one, flabbergasting fact: The judge in the case refused to allow Whatcott's lawyer to offer testimony showing that, in point of fact, Oger is a biological male. According to the judge, "the 'truth' of [Whatcott's] statements in the flyer is not a defense." As such, said the judge, "evidence is simply not relevant to the legal issu

Pro-LGBT Equality Act alarms conservatives, feminists: Women’s rights ‘will cease to exist’

Image
Not only conservative organizations, but even feminists and one homosexual activist are warning against House Democrats’ “Equality Act,” which they fear will squelch free speech and endanger religious freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. The conservative Heritage Foundation summarized the threats posed by the bill, noting its potential for “substantial harm.” Heritage warned, “It would force doctors who do not agree with SOGI [Sexual Orientation Gender Identity] ideology to violate their consciences” and “compel speech for all Americans with ‘preferred pronoun’ policies” and “destroy women’s and girls’ sports by forced inclusion of biological men and boys,” among other effects. “Many of these concerns have come to fruition in the 24 states that have already implemented bills similar to H.R. 5,” it said. Gay rights advocate Greg Angelo wrote at the Washington Inquirer: “Don’t be fooled by the name: The Equality Act is legislation that would compromise American civil rights

Accepting homosexuality led to accepting transgenderism and will likely lead to accepting pedophilia

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is commonly credited with defining the philosophical structure called dialectic. While I make no claim to be a serious student of Hegel or of philosophy in general, I think I understand the basics of dialectic reasoning enough to refer to its effect on our culture. In simple terms, the system suggests that cultures evolve through a pattern like this: Thesis (a new idea) --> antithesis (opposition to the new idea) --> synthesis (compromise). (No doubt some will call this an oversimplification of the process. But I believe it accurately depicts cultural evolution.) In our nation’s history, we can see examples of this dialectic process bringing about positive change. The abolition of slavery quickly comes to mind. But not all new ideas are worth pursuing. Probably the best example of a failed dialectic process is Communism. Karl Marx and Frederic Engels’ thesis was first met with fierce opposition. Eventually, however, antithesis gave way to synthesise

Virginia school board halts transgender bathroom policy after community outcry

Image
As a former area high school student continues to fight the matter in court, a school board in Virginia says it’s holding off implementation of a new policy to force students to share restrooms with members of the opposite sex. Gavin Grimm is a female Gloucester High School graduate who “identifies” as male and has been the face of one of the country’s most high-profile transgender bathroom lawsuits since 2014. The Gloucester County School Board originally attempted to accommodate her request by letting her use a private restroom, but Grimm demanded access to the same restrooms used by male students. District Judge Arenda Wright Allen sided with Grimm last May , ruling that the policy “classified Mr. Grimm differently on the basis of his transgender status and, accordingly, subjected him to sex stereotyping.” The year before, the U.S. Supreme Court had decided not to hear the case. The case is slated to go on in U.S. District Court in July. In the meantime, Fox News reports , the sch

Mexico’s wins initial victory against transgenderism

Pro-natural marriage made a stand against the government’s effort to amend Mexico’s constitution and same-sex “marriage.” Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, who leads Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies, introduced a bill last week to reform the constitution that would not only legalize abortion throughout the largely Catholic nation but also permit same-sex “marriage” and euthanasia and also legalize narcotics. The Morena party is currently in the majority in Mexico’s bicameral Congress, over which Muñoz Ledo currently presides. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador had not been vocal about abortion and transgenderism during his presidential campaign last year, even while members of his Morena party have long signaled their support for that agenda. Due to an online pro-life campaign, the debate over the constitutional reform was tabled by two congressional committees. According to ACI Prensa, Rodrigo Iván Cortés of Mexico’s National Front for the Family described Muñoz Ledo’s legislative proposal as

Church Schools the tagret of LGBT ideology

The head of the Presbyterian Church in Australia has warned Scott Morrison that the ability of religious schools to insist on separate uniforms, sporting teams and toilets for boys and girls will be open to legal challenge under a government plan to outlaw discrimination against gay students. John Wilson, the Moderator-General of the Presbyterian Church, has provided The Australian with an extract of a letter sent yesterday to the Prime Minister. It reveals widespread concern among religious schools teaching 300,000 students about the un­intended consequences of legislation aimed at better protecting gay students from discrimination. The Coalition and Labor are trying to repeal an exemption in the Sex Discrimination Act that allows religious schools to discriminate against students on the basis of their “sexual orientation” and “gender identity”. The exemption is rarely used for this purpose but is one of the only legal protections in federal law for faith-based educators. Anglican

Parents outraged after X-rated drag queen speaks to 11-year-olds at school career day

Image
Parents were shocked and angered to discover that an x-rated drag queen showed up to their children’s school last week as part of a career day event.   Zack Sullivan, a 25-year-old man better known as drag queen "Jessica L'Whor," was invited by school administration to give a presentation on Oct. 19 to 11-13-year-old children at Rocky Top Middle School in suburban Denver, without parents' knowledge or consent.  L'Whor has  worked  for x-rated "uncensored" venues, one which  included  allowing patrons paying the highest bid to "f*ck up the queens." “Parents are in an outrage and this is so inappropriate on so many levels,” a parent told CBS4 Denver.  Dozens of parents are now banding together to meet with the Adams County School District 12, commonly known as the Adams 12 Five Star Schools, to stop future visits to the school by drag queens, said parent Jen Payer in an interview with LifeSiteNews. "I'm appalled that the pr

California law forces Meals on Wheels to ask elderly recipients if they’re gay or trans

Image
Meals on Wheels programs around the world help feed elderly people and others physically incapable of obtaining or preparing their own meals, but California recipients have started receiving something less welcome with their service: grilling about their sexual attraction and “gender identity.” On Tuesday, the Sacramento Bee highlighted the experience of Carol Alexander, an 83-year-old recipient who was taken aback by a recent phone call from Sacramento County’s Meals on Wheels program, asking questions including “What is your sex,” “Do you still associate with your gender,” and “Are you heterosexual?” “I was in shock. I took offense to that,” said Alexander. “I’m ticked off. Why do they ask an 83-year-old this?” The questions were mandated by the state’s LGBT Disparities Reduction Act, signed by Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown, which took effect in July. The law requires meal-delivery services to present sexual and gender minorities (SGM) survey questions to recipients, in order to conduc

LGBT activists: Soviet camps were ‘compassionate’ means of ‘re-education.’ Send bigots there

A homosexual student group at Goldsmiths, University of London, is under fire for a series of tweets defending the idea of sending dissenters to “gulags” for forced re-education. The exchange began during a Twitter debate over “trans-exclusionary radical feminists” (TERFs), feminists who refuse to recognize men who “identify” as female to be "women." The group LGBTQ+ Goldsmiths had called for targeting feminist academics they considered to be TERFs, the  Daily Telegraph   reports . “The ideas of TERFS and anti-trans bigots literally *kill* and must be eradicated through re-education,” LGBTQ+ Goldsmiths claimed, then threatened to “arrange to send [critics of their position] to the gulag.” (Report continues below tweets) The original Twitter thread from Goldsmith LGBTQ+, since removed.
