GAY TRUTH

A religious studies major has been banned from a religion course for asserting that there are only two genders, putting his planned May graduation in jeopardy.    Lake Ingle, an Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) senior, said he has been punished by Professor Alison Downie for challenging her during a session of her class “Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and Salvation.”   Campus Reform broke the story : The class was forced to watch a  TED-Talk  on February 28 featuring Paula Stone , a transgender woman, who gave examples of “mansplaining,” “male privilege,” and systematic sexism. Following the video, Ingle wrote that the instructor “opened the floor to WOMEN ONLY. Barring men from speaking until the women in the class have had their chance to speak.” After some time had elapsed, Ingle stated he “took this opportunity to point out the official view of biologists who claim there are only two biological genders,” and refuted the “gender wag...

Increasingly, gender therapists and physicians argue that children as young as nine should be given puberty-blocking drugs if they experience gender dysphoria. But  a new article by three medical experts  reveals that there is little scientific evidence to support such a radical procedure. The article, “ Growing Pains: Problems with Puberty Suppression in Treating Gender Dysphoria ,” published Tuesday in The New Atlantis , discusses over 50 peer-reviewed studies on gender dysphoria in children . It is co-authored by Dr. Paul W. Hruz, a professor at Washington University School of Medicine , Dr. Lawrence S. Mayer, a scholar in residence at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a professor at Arizona State University , and Dr. Paul R. McHugh , University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Last year, Mayer and McHugh  published an extensive report on sexuality and gender in general ....

Contraception is at the root of the culture of death and the defense of family is inseparable from the defense of life, Cardinal Raymond Burke says in a broad book-length interview. In his lengthy interview with French journalist Guillaume d’Alançon, titled   Hope for the World: To Unite All Things in Christ , the American cardinal calls gender theory “madness,” addresses the question of Communion for the divorced and remarried, and offers remedies for the crisis in the Church. Burke is the patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the former Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican’s highest court.   “I do not see how it is possible to talk about the family without talking about the defense of human life,” Burke said. “It is fundamental. Contraception and abortion are two stages in the attack on conjugal love. In contraception there is a fear of new life, and this practice often leads to abortion. It is of fundamental importance to associate works...

The Obama administration has sued to stop North Carolina from enforcing a state law barring members of one biological sex from using the restrooms or intimate accommodations of the opposite sex, saying that doing so “causes significant and irreparable physical, psychological, economic, social, and stigmatic harm to transgender people.” The complaint states that relying upon biology to determine a person's sex is “medically inaccurate,” and says that repealing H.B. 2 will have no impact on sexual assault, because rape is already illegal. The administration is seeking a preliminary injunction against the state's H.B. 2 law, which requires people to use the restroom of the sex that is listed on their birth certificate. That amounts to “state-sanctioned discrimination that is inflicting immediate and significant harm on transgender individuals,” the Justice Department stated in a   70-page legal complaint   filed on Tuesday. Although   the Obama administration sue...
