Gender-confused woman sues Catholic hospital for refusing to remove her healthy uterus

Image
A woman suing a Maryland Catholic hospital for refusing to remove her healthy uterus as part of her attempt to “change gender” is appealing to the recent Bostock v. Clayton County Supreme Court ruling that anti-discrimination law should be reinterpreted to cover homosexuality and gender confusion. Thirty-three-year-old Jesse Hammons had been scheduled to have surgery to remove her uterus at the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center on January 6, after having completed blood tests, ultrasounds, and other health screenings in preparation for the operation.  But the surgery was eventually cancelled by the hospital, which says that it is guided by “Catholic health care values” and that it “observes the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.” “A week before the surgery was scheduled to take place, the medical center informed Hammons[’] surgeon that the surgery had to be cancelled because it violated the medical center’s Catholic religiou...

Stop cramming LGBT propaganda down the throats of ex-homosexuals and ex-transgenders

Image
June, the formerly wonderful month marking the beginning of summer, is now a dreadful 30-day ordeal during which corporate America, news and social media compete to display their “wokeness,” relentlessly force-feeding us LGBT propaganda whether we like it or not.   Many don’t like it. Those of us who formerly lived as gays, lesbians, and transgender men and women are especially appalled by it. The rainbow flag is not an emblem of freedom; it is an offensive symbol of bondage, bondage that eats away at the souls of men and women who are unable to  escape  the  dark dominion  it represents.   Here’s a brief sampling of what Facebook – and many of the companies I now only begrudgingly patronize – tried to cram down my throat day after day during June: Our hometown Washington Nationals struck out on Facebook    Facebook Screenshot Our Electric Company’s shocking Facebook promotion.      Facebook Screens...

Maryland outlaws therapy for minors who want to overcome same-sex attraction

The Republican governor of Maryland signed into law a ban on licensed therapists or counsellors providing minors with therapy to resolve gender confusion or unwanted homosexual attraction. Larry Hogan signed the so-called  Youth Mental Health Protection Act  into law on Tuesday. The state Senate passed the bill 34-12 in March, and the state House 95-27 in April.  “The governor was pleased to sign this bill, and believes it’s the right thing to do,” Hogan spokeswoman Amelia Chasse  told   Metro Weekly . Starting in October, it will be illegal to perform on a minor “any effort to change the behavioural expression of an individual’s sexual orientation, change gender expression , or eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same gender.” Violators will be deemed to have “engaged in unprofessional conduct” and risk a suspension or revocation of their health or child care licenses. The ban applies to all mi...

UK Judge sacked - by LGBT modern madness

CINCINNATI, July 23, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A U.S. district judge has ordered a clerk in the state of Ohio to recognize a same-sex “marriage” conducted in another state, because the state's constitutional amendment defining marriages does “likely violate the U.S. Constitution .” U.S. District Magistrate Timothy Black declared in his opinion on Monday that the “purpose served by” the amendment in “treating same-sex married couples differently than opposite-sex married couples is the same improper purpose that failed in  Windsor  and in  Romer : ‘to impose inequality’ and to make gay citizens unequal under the law.” Judge Timothy Black is an Obama appointee His words echoed last month's  vituperous opinion from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy  striking down a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
