LGBT falling apart - disagree with each other

Image
The push behind transgender ideology took some major hits this past week when several prominent feminist, lesbian and gay leaders went public with strong criticism of the ideology underlying the transgender movement that has gripped modern culture. They also sharply criticized the so-called Equality Act, the top legislative priority of LGBT extremists, for being based on a false premise and proposing to codify this false ideology into federal law. The week began with a panel presentation at The Heritage Foundation led by our friend, Ryan Anderson, Ph.D. (At our NOM Gala in 2014, we honored Anderson with our Public Square Leadership Award.) The panel featured presentations from self-proclaimed "radical feminists" including two who are lesbians.  The panelists rejected the entire basis of trans ideology – that sex is a meaningless social construct and what is important is 'gender identity.' Panelist Julia Beck noted that within the “LGBT” acronym, the LGB seg...

LGBT intolerant ideology

Image
The intolerant progressives have virtually criminalized Christianity and Judaism while protecting Islam. Even left-wing Jews are now openly anti-Semitic. Progressives have been largely successful in outlawing the scientific notion of gender to embrace the sheer moonbattery of the "fluid gender" crowd. So besieged with the desperate plight of LGBT persons, Millennials actually think they make up 40% of our population when they are only about 4.5%. For an even tinier percentage of people, elementary school bathrooms must be open to anyone and everyone, even men pretending to be women. Education, K-12 and university, is now all about, only about, indoctrination. Dead white males like Shakespeare, Dickens, and Twain are verboten. Anyone who thinks his son or daughter will become educated on any university campus (except Hillsdale and a few others) is sadly misguided. These offspring will return from college spouting all the race, class, gender, and climate change nonsense t...

Redeeming Queer Culture - a homosexual platform in disguise?

Image
Last week, a controversial conference was held in St. Louis with the goal of “Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” It was called Revoice 2018. It has created a stir among conservative Christians. Commendable Aspects of Revoice On the one hand, conference founder Nate Collins made clear that “We all believe that the Bible teaches a traditional, historic understanding of sexuality in marriage, and so we are not attempting in any way to redefine any of those doctrines. We’re trying to live within the bounds of historic Christian teaching about sexuality and gender.” Collins has even stated that “Sexual desire for someone of the same sex is sinful and something that I should repent from.” So, Collins and others involved in Revoice have stated explicitly that they believe marriage, as established by God, is exclusively heterose...

When You Get Death Wishes for Sharing Biblical Truth With Love

Image
Just when I thought things had calmed down with the LGBT attack on our “ Can You Be Gay and Christian? ” video, we were flooded with a fresh deluge of hate-filled, profane, and vile comments, including winners like this: “Burn this guy at the stake or do whatever yall want I don't give a d**n. Just make sure he suffers before he dies. okay? Okay.” Where did this new attack come from? Well, it turns out that another gay vlogger with a large following played a lot of the video on his channel (that’s another way to get the message out!). In response, his followers came flocking to our video to give it a thumbs down and to attack it — and me. Now, remember, according to the PC narrative, we’re the haters and those who oppose us are the voice of tolerance. And let’s also remember that I have always denounced those who speak hatefully of LGBT’s, differing with those who call them names and want to put gays to death. You would think, then, that our tolerant LGBT friends would apprec...

Transgender regret - LGBT agenda backfires badly hurting people

Image
Some people call it “ transgender regret”. When you change from one gender to another and then feel, somehow, you’ve made a mistake. Others call it “detransitioning” or a “reversal”. Zahra Cooper calls it, simply “going back”. “It sounds weird so I don’t usually say it. It’s embarrassing. It’s embarrassing to go back.” Under the table she is holding a smooth round stone, gripping it to try to keep from shaking. She looks at the floor and hunches her shoulders as if trying to hide herself in her black Batman sweater. Talking doesn’t come easy for Zahra, 21, particularly when it’s about the events of the past year – her transition, her suicide attempts, her eventual Asperger’s syndrome diagnosis.”If I’m asked, I just say my voice sounds deep because it is,” she says. “It’s not a thing to say to someone I used to be a boy and now I’m a girl … again.” Zahra was born in Kaitaia . As a girl. Or, as they say in the transgender community, she was assigned as female at birth. Photos show ...

All sinner not freaks

Beyond gender-inclusive bathroom debates, the transgender movement has enormous momentum behind it from both major political parties in the United States, forcing on Christians, whether we are ready or not, a number of truth-claims we must investigate. To find the core convictions driving the transgender movement we must listen to the new ways human beings are being defined and re-defined. We can hear it in the stories like in the bestselling autobiography of Charles Mock, turned Janet Mock, titled: Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More (2014). Mock’s transition story opens with a preface to make it clear that words like “nature” or “natural” will not be used in the book, and especially not in reference to people who feel no disharmony between their biological sex and their chosen gender expression.Cisgender, Mock tells us, will be the substitute term for what might have previously been mis-labeled natural. We also hear a new definition o...

Catholic school more concerned about being transgender ‘positive’ than following Church teaching

Image
A school in the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) appears to be more concerned about playing the part of a “positive and respectful community” on "transgender issues" than following Catholic teaching, according to an exchange of emails between a principal and teachers obtained through a Freedom of Information request.  The information reveals that during the 2015 school year, the principal of St. Michael School, Corkery — located near Carp, Ontario — sent an email to OCSB superintendent Stephen McCabe and communications director Mardi de Kemp highlighting a link to an interview mentioning the OCSB given by a mom who has a biological boy who attends an OCSB school dressed like a girl.  “I think we appear to be shown as a positive and respectful community,” writes Principal Martha Palmer in the Sept. 12 email.  The interview referred to was conducted by the Ottawa pop radio station Hot 89.9. The station has used its public platform to mainstream the sexual rev...

Why I cringe when Pope Francis gets on an airplane

Image
Is it the altitude? Is it free cocktails? Is it the urging of a captive media hungry for headlines? Is it a loquacious and friendly Pope who likes to freewheel and think aloud? I just don’t know. But now we are told that Christians “have to apologize for so many things, not just for this (treatment of gay people), but we must ask for forgiveness. Not just apologize – forgiveness.” I have no trouble apologizing for my misdeeds, even if they are corporate in nature, meaning if they are directed towards a group of some kind. As a young man, I had to come to terms, and repent of, the racism I was raised with. I’m very grateful to the University of Texas student who taught me that lesson early in my freshman year. After the initial hurt feelings, my reaction was, “Well, of course he’s right!” Towards gays and lesbians, I’ve never felt any prejudice. Many of my close friends know this, and there’s no need to say anymore than that. So I am assuming that Pope Francis must not be talking ...

Even gay advocates are criticizing Ontario’s plan to change the definition of ‘parent’

Image
Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s plan to change the legal definition of “parent” to recognize homosexual couples could harm their IVF-conceived children, warns a trio of child advocates. Wynne announced   at the end of May   that the Liberals will introduce legislation in the fall to ensure “equal treatment of LGBTQ-plus families,” including changing regulations for birth certificates. But in doing so, the premier must also ensure that children of same-sex couples, “obviously” conceived through IVF, can find information on their “progenitors” — the donors of the egg or sperm that brought them into existence, point out Julie Guichon, Barry Stevens and Diane Allen in a June 6 commentary in the   Globe and Mail . Otherwise, the government will be putting the rights of LGBTQ parents before those of their children, asserted Guichon, assistant professor at the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine, Stevens, a filmmaker conceived through an anonymous sperm...

Obama’s AG sues North Carolina, likens bathroom privacy law to segregation

Image
  The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today stating that North Carolina has violated federal civil rights laws by overturning ordinances mandating that transgender people can use the restroom and shower facilities of the opposite biological sex. Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced the federal case at a press conference late this afternoon, likening laws that bar biological males from using female showers to Jim Crow laws and segregation measures that forced blacks to use separate drinking fountains. “This is not the first time we have seen discriminatory responses to historic moments of progress to our nation,” said Lynch in a press conference scheduled for 3:30, which began half an hour late. “We saw it in the Jim Crow laws that followed the Emancipation Proclamation. We saw it in the fierce arguments against   Brown v. the Board of Education ” - the 1954 Supreme Court decision that overturned segregation. “And we saw it in the state bans on same-sex u...
