America’s preeminent teachers' union is now recommending that its members add Gender Queer – a treatise on the merits of transgenderism – to their summer reading list, presumably in order for any holdouts to fix their minds in time for next year’s new crop of bright-eyed children, ready to be groomed.

Via New York Post:

The National Education Association (NEA) on Monday recommended that teachers include the controversial book “Gender Queer” on their summer reading lists.

The book was featured in the NEA’s “Great Summer Reads for Educators!” list that showcased 11 books.

Among those books are “White Fragility,” a book that insists that White Americans use anger, shame and guilt to avoid taking responsibility for racial inequality. 

Other sections included “books to help you forget about work” and “books to celebrate or help you understand Junetheenth.”

Under the “banned books” section, Gender Queer is recommended as a reading. 

“Gender Queer” has as courted major controversy among America parents for being in public school libraries throughout the US and has been challenged for its depictions and descriptions of oral sex as well as discussions on masturbation.

The reading list is posted to NEA’s website, which lauds Gender Queer for its controversial nature, implying that it contains some sort of important and verboten truth, censored as it is by MAGA terrorists: “Twilight used to be at the top of banned-book lists for its racy content. Today, those lists are much more likely to feature LGBTQ+ people or People of Color. Indeed, the top two books banned in 2022 were Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maira Kobabe, about identifying outside the gender binary, and All Boys Aren’t Blue: A Memoir-Manifesto by George M. Johnson.”

The entire justification for reading the book offered in the list, in fact, pertains to its banned status in many school systems. In other words, the NEA is saying: “Lots of parents [domestic terrorists] hate our transgender propaganda aimed at their children, so we’re going to double down.”

“Banned Books: Celebrate the Freedom to Read!” declares the header in the article on the NEA site. The union also recommends, in the same section, White Fragility by the notorious anti-white race hustler Robin DiAngelo.

The teachers union has long been a champion of various Social Justice™ causes, including pandering to the transgender lobby. Per the National Education Association, “LGBTQ+ students are more likely to face bullying and harassment, leading to poor grades, higher dropout rates, and homelessness. Safe and affirming schools are a core element of student success.”

Target, Kohl’s, Girl Scouts Team up with Child Corrupter GLSEN

The betrayal of Target gets more horrifying the closer you look. The growing movement to boycott the retailer is justified by its sale of offensive “pride” items to adults as well as children. And then there’s Target’s partnership with an avowed satanist designer.

But at the top of my long list of Target sins is the company’s proud support of one of the most radical groups existing in America today.

Target has been a generous donor to the tune of over $2 million to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, GLSEN, and a senior brand manager at Target also serves on the GLSEN board as treasurer.

What’s the problem with GLSEN? The group’s three- decade goal has been to insert the homosexual and gender distortion agenda into K -12 schools through a variety of actions and I would say that the word “target” absolutely describes what GLSEN has been doing to other people’s children.

But Target is not alone in linking arms with pawns of the devil. Kohl’s also donates to this group. And now the Girl Scouts award a “pride” badge after Scouts complete a number of questionable activities. They can report on the “contributions” of homosexual outlaws such as Harvey Milk (a known pederast) or learn “key concepts and terms” (i.e., the phony “pride” lexicon) from GLSEN. And to complete the seduction of wide-eyed innocents, Girl Scouts may consult GLSEN’s book recommendations.

Why not just send Girl Scouts directly to porn sites? Because that’s what these books contain. More on that later.

Allow me to share for a moment the reasons I have tracked and reported on the actions of GLSEN for over twenty years. It grieves my heart to think about impressionable children and teens being exploited by this organization, its activities and its teacher members.

Often the children most attracted to exploring “LGBTQ” identities and behaviors are those who are lonely and lost, neglected at home, given little supervision about online garbage they may encounter (including porn), and usually unchurched. They may have been molested somewhere along the way. They crave a sense of belonging and are easy to manipulate. At the most pivotal and vulnerable time of adolescence, here comes the ice cream truck selling rainbow-and -“love”- adorned poison.

Poor, deceived kids!! Where is the church of Jesus Christ in calling out to stop the evil actions of GLSEN and other groups like them? I wrote an article several years back urging people to pray for GLSEN and other groups. And we absolutely should.

But until these folks turn to the Lord, the damage they are doing needs to be stopped-- in a civil way, of course, using our votes, our voices and our wallets.

GLSEN’s first mission was to establish high school homosexual clubs, called “gay-straight alliances.” Current clubs are often called “gender and sexuality alliances“ to include all the many genders these extremists sadly persuade children they can be. After high school clubs, GLSEN pushed middle school clubs and now even a few elementary schools offer this blatant corruption to children.

Then, GLSEN also had an early goal to promote homosexual-themed books for adolescents featuring a “Book Link” that listed the group’s recommendations.

I spent some time reading those early books. After I stopped crying (and then screaming) about the deviant content, I was determined to do what I could to expose GLSEN’s vile  “outreach” to youth.

The content of those early GLSEN books is uniformly pro-homosexual and pro-gender distortion. They subtly or overtly mock and twist Christianity with unflattering portrayals of believers. There’s no balance, no “inclusion” of the sweet fellowship of the body of Christ, of the beauty of sexual virtue as God designed, and the positive impact Christ’s followers have on communities and America.

And even in 2002, GLSEN chose books with graphic sex scenes between homosexual teens, including hook-ups. Several titles featured adults reminiscing about their first sexual experiences as teens, encounters which involved adult partners.

In other words, GLSEN was giving tacit approval through these narratives for sex between adults and minors.

After several years of publicizing GLSEN’s predatory “Book Link,” I noticed that the link was no longer available. But that didn’t mean GLSEN was quitting. No, in more recent years, GLSEN’s determination to reach children morphed into its book collections that companies like Target and other donors can sponsor. These are then donated, unfortunately, to schools.

The reality is that there are now hundreds of books for kids with “LGBTQ” themes, many more than existed when GLSEN began this project. Virtually all of them include twisted “woke” sexual and gender ideology and many also feature XXX- rated material. Consider just one, for instance—a book called George by Alex Gino, which appears on both the middle and high school recommendations. “Age inappropriate” does not begin to cover the problems with this book.

So GLSEN is a purveyor and promoter of pornography. Target, Kohl’s and Girl Scouts, by promoting GLSEN, are helping to distribute obscene material to children throughout the country.

GLSEN also conducts an online survey with invalid results, its “School Climate Survey.” Sadly, this survey is often used in legislative testimony to advocate for elements of the “LGBTQ” agenda. The survey is a sham. I know of conservative adults who have taken the “Climate Survey” posing as “LGBTQ” teens, just to see if they could. It worked. Which means that this survey’s results can be manipulated by faux participants to achieve whatever findings GLSEN wants. Anyone can log in, pose as an adolescent, and claim to be misunderstood or “unsafe.”

This is GLSEN’s term for being around people who object to homosexuality and gender distortion, and physical violence is not the issue. That’s already punished under every school conduct code. Kids who have been persuaded to identify as “LGBTQ” are told they are only “safe” around those who verbally approve. Disapproval is not allowed. This is “inclusion,” GLSEN believes. GLSEN produces  “Safe Space” posters so that teacher/counselor supporters can mark their territory (and thereby exclude those without the right viewpoint).

Then there’s GLSEN’s recent support of excluding parents from the lives of children. Many schools have adopted secret “transgender support plans” that allow for teachers and staff to accommodate a child’s gender confusion during the school day while concealing that action from parents. GLSEN has a model policy that has sadly been adopted by many school districts.

And to round out its anti-parent, child corruption reputation, the GLSEN web site recently added escape instructions for kids. “Leave this site safely“” appears on a pop-up screen at the initial site visit, apparently for kids who want to conceal their visit from parents.

So GLSEN is not a friend to parents. But Target, Kohl’s and the Girl Scouts love them.

Just one more reason, friends, to boycott all of them. And also, while we’re at it, to eject GLSEN from every school in America.

DOD Launches New LGBTQ+++™ Propaganda Offensive, Showcases Transgender Major

"Two days before the Fourth of July, the Biden administration’s woke Department of Defense celebrated a male U.S. Army major who has decided he is female, declaring the man’s journey “inspires us all.”

Maj. Rachel Jones, a biological man who identifies as a woman, serves as the U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), according to the U.S. Army, which lauded Jones for living “her truth.”"

The Department of Defense has trotted out a new stunning and brave transgender for its audience to celebrate. Who exactly the DOD hopes to reach with this kind of Social Justice™ and propaganda remains very much unclear.

@USArmy Maj. Rachel Jones found solace after coming out as a transgender female. Her journey from battling depression & suicidal thoughts to embracing authenticity inspires us all. #WhyWeServe,” the DoD posted to Twitter yesterday, accompanied by an article posted to the army’s website titled “Living authentically saves Soldier’s life.”

Via U.S. Army:

Coming out as a transgender female saved Maj. Rachel Jones’ life.

The U.S. Army Sustainment Command Cyber Division chief, G6 (Information Management), struggled with depression and suicidal ideation for most of her life. Today, she is living her truth and is no longer battling depression or suicidal thoughts.

The observance of Pride Month, celebrated every June, was first recognized by the Department of Defense in June 2012. It is a time when the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community come together to celebrate love and authenticity. Many LGBTQ+ people must overcome deep-rooted fear, shame and adversity in order to live as their most authentic self, though.

The road to self-acceptance was not easy for Jones. Before coming out privately to her therapist, Jones lived every day deeply depressed and suicidal.

“When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s there was a lot of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. I don’t think many people meant to do that, but it’s something I heard as I was growing up repeatedly. So much so that I was convinced I was inherently evil for being transgender,” said Jones. “The pressure of hiding all of the time was so bad I grew up depressed and suicidal to the point that I always had a plan to end my life.”

Readers may recall a similar propaganda production released by the DOJ’s counterparts at the CIA featuring a “cisgender millennial who’s been diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder” to sell the agency to the public.

There’s no way that even government propagandists are out of touch enough to actually believe that any of this hot garbage is going to achieve the ostensible objectives of pulling more high-quality recruits into these agencies and departments. So the question becomes: what’s actually the point of all of this?

Is it national demoralization? If so, they’re doing a bang-up job. Even if I were interested (I’m not because every war the government has prosecuted since WWII has been predicated on BS in my opinion, not to mention wildly counterproductive and unsuccessful), I would not join after having seen this nonsense out of principle.

And I’m not alone: every branch of the US armed forces is unable to effectively recruit.

The Queer Administration: The Biden Regime Is Doling Out Your Tax Money to Promote Trans Madness Worldwide

The Queer Administration: The Biden Regime Is Doling Out Your Tax Money to Promote Trans Madness Worldwide

Joe Biden's Age Tracker

BY ROBERT SPENCER

Why is the Biden regime so obsessively preoccupied with promoting sexual deviance and transgender delusion and fantasy? Not only is it aggressively promoting “Pride” inside the United States, but it is also sending your tax dollars abroad to make sure that young Ecuadorians see their fair share of drag queens, and that Polish boys can decide they’re really girls after all. Imagine what George Washington, John Adams, or Thomas Jefferson would make of this: is this really what the republic they constructed and bequeathed to us should be spending its money on?

The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that “the Biden administration has given nearly $4.6 million to help foreign groups promote LGBT projects like drag shows and pride parades.” This money comes from hard-working Americans who logged long hours, often at physically taxing jobs, to provide for their families, and dutifully forked over a significant percentage of their earnings to the U.S. government, which saw fit to use it to corrupt and sexualize children in other countries. This is what things have come to, and it’s likely only to get worse.

The Biden regime appears to be relentlessly committed to spreading depravity and madness all around the world. The Free Beacon reveals that your tax dollars have “helped organize pride parades in at least seven different countries, paid for drag queen shows in Ecuador, funded a Polish advocacy group that encourages puberty blockers for children with gender confusion, and sent cash to a Mexican group that markets cross-sex hormones to gender-confused individuals.”

Your money has also gone to “teach gender studies in war-torn nations like Iraq. In 2023 alone, American taxpayers have helped foot the bill for Pride Month festivities in AustraliaEstoniaSlovenia, and Bosnia.” Also this year, the Biden regime “doled out nearly $800,000 for LGBT projects in nine different countries, including $300,000 for ‘Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals of Botswana,’ and another $45,000 for Australia ‘to welcome LGBTQIA+ people from across the globe.’”

The Free Beacon adds that “taxpayer funds have also been allocated to foreign groups pushing what many believe to be radical medical treatments for gender-confused children and adults.” A Mexican group called Impulso Trans, which promotes transgender mutilation, got ten grand to help “raise awareness and connect key stakeholders of the LGBTQ community.” The State Department gave $12,408 to a Polish organization “that provides ‘toolkits’ to help teachers promote gender ideology in school.”

Not surprisingly, you also paid for propaganda: your tax dollars funded “LGBT film and art festivals in LatviaColombia, the Dominican RepublicAustraliaSpainItaly, and Serbia. In 2022, $32,000 in taxpayer cash was awarded to a group in Peru so it could create an LGBT comic book. Another $25,000 was given to a group in Thailand that is pushing ‘digital empathy’ for the LGBT community.”  And “in ColombiaLiberia, and Slovakia, the United States allocated thousands throughout 2022 to groups working to eliminate negative media coverage about the LGBT community. The State Department additionally sponsored LGBT film and arts festivals in South KoreaPoland, and India.”

All in all, “since 2021, the Biden administration has funded at least 84 separate LGBT advocacy projects in 55 countries, with budgets ranging from as little as $5,000 to more than $1.5 million, according to the federal government’s spending database.”

Could anyone possibly blame the people in those countries for thinking that the United States is a massively powerful agent of the destruction of individuals and families? Nor is the regime content to spread just LGBTQWTF and trans propaganda. “In addition to funding LGBT activism across the world, the administration has allocated millions to fight climate change in various countries.”

Biden’s handlers, of course, blandly assume that they’re doing a wonderful thing. The State Department insists that this money is going to create “a world that is safer and more prosperous for all.” The State Department wonks who issued this statement, however, did not bother to explain how paying for drag queens and the sexual mutilation of children will make anyone safer or more prosperous. In fact, in light of the growing backlash against the Left’s insane cultural agenda, it’s likely that these programs are actually going to make us less safe, and likely also less prosperous.

Terry Schilling of the American Principles Project explains why: “The Biden administration’s focus on these priorities, Schilling warned, is pushing foreign nations to embrace China ‘for aid rather than submit to the left’s radical ideology.’” This is simply common sense. If China is offering money to build roads and schools and hospitals, and the U.S. is offering the same, but insisting that drag queens and trans madness have to go along with it, which one would any sane person choose?

Why does it seem as if the Biden regime will embrace any and every policy that will end up weakening America?

RFK Jr. Throws Moms for Liberty Under the Woke School Bus, Touts Pro-LGBTQ Stance

RFK Jr. Throws Moms for Liberty Under the Woke School Bus, Touts Pro-LGBTQ Stance

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has garnered support from both leftists and conservatives. But conservatives who admire RFK Jr. for speaking hard truths should also be aware of how he back-stabbed a parental rights group on TV in order to pander to an intolerant homosexual activist who wants LGBTQ propaganda in schools.

The group Kennedy rejected was Moms for Liberty, which just held a summit featuring 2024 Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis. But not Kennedy.

Moms for Liberty’s mission statement reads, “Moms for Liberty is dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating, and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government.” All they want to do is prevent the government-enforced indoctrination and sexualization of children in schools and make sure parents are made aware of such tremendously important things as whether their children are masquerading as the opposite sex at school. The group does not attack LGBTQ people — indeed, LGBTQ activists are the ones harassing Moms for Liberty.

At a town hall on Wednesday, News Nation allowed audience members to ask Kennedy questions. James Williams, the CEO of a social media consulting firm, asked the candidate why he agreed to and then drew back from an invitation to speak at a Moms for Liberty conference. While Moms for Liberty is specifically geared toward preventing parents from being pressured into letting their kids be indoctrinated, Williams claimed Moms for Liberty tries to tell people how to raise their children.

Williams then brought up the immensely corrupt and sexually licentious Sen. Ted Kennedy, RFK’s uncle (Chappaquiddick, anyone?), and Williams’s former boss. He said there was “no bigger champion or stalwart for LGBTQ equality” than “the late Ted Kennedy.” Practically crying, Williams demanded to know why he should vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when the latter originally agreed to speak at a conference with a group “that wants to ban my marriage and tell…other parents how to treat their children” (again, a misunderstanding of Moms for Liberty’s goals).

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rushed to reassure the intolerant activist that he “didn’t speak at that group.” RFK began, ”When somebody on my staff accepted that invitation, and I was unaware of it —”

Williams, too worked up to let Kennedy actually finish his sentence, jumped in and self-righteously announced that, as a former congressional staffer, he thinks blaming staff is “the wrong answer.”

Instead of respectfully but firmly telling Williams not to lecture and talk over him, RFK hastened to appease the overwrought leftist. Since he’s at the start of his campaign, he has no “long-term staff,” Kennedy explained. “When I found out that that was [Moms for Liberty’s] position,” Kennedy went on, not explaining what that position was and presumably referring back to James’s misrepresentation of the group, “I declined to go.”

Related: YouTube Goes to Bat for Biden, Removes Jordan Peterson Interview of RFK Jr.

So is RFK saying he doesn’t support parental rights? That he supports the sexualization of children in schools? That would seem to be what he affirmed here. That’s deeply concerning.

”There will be nobody in the Oval Office who is more supportive of LGBTQ rights than I am,” Kennedy went on, apparently forgetting (as his family has so often forgotten before) that he is a Catholic and therefore cannot, religiously speaking, support homosexual marriage. “I was with Teddie campaigning…in 1980. We — it was the first political, presidential campaign that ever courted the gay vote…it’s very important to me, it’s a civil right…my family has stood for, has fought for [these rights], and I will do the same”

Kennedy then delivered what amounted to an apology. “I made a mistake by accepting that invitation, and when I found out those positions,” (said again without any clarification), “I didn’t show up.” But apparently, that sickening statement wasn’t good enough for Williams, who demanded Kennedy “denounce” what Moms for Liberty “stand[s] for.” Kennedy at least refused to do that, but he added, “I don’t agree with anybody who says that we shouldn’t respect gay rights, or anybody else’s rights.” Except parental rights, evidently.

“Everybody should respect [gay rights], and, you know, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that they’re — those are protected, and I always have,” Kennedy ended. Again, this isn’t about respecting people as Americans with the same basic rights as all Americans. What Kennedy did was bow to the rainbow mafia and turn his back on a group that wants to prevent homosexual pornography in elementary schools.

Democrats, even those who say a lot of good things, are never to be trusted unequivocally. If Robert F. Kennedy prefers to appease the rainbow mafia over supporting parents who just want to ensure their children aren’t indoctrinated without their knowledge, then no conservative can trust him. Our children are too important for any compromise with LGBTQ crazies.

Seattle Naked Pedal-phile ‘Pride’ Parade in Front of Kids Is Sick, But Wait, There’s More!

The Left Says They’re Coming For Your Kids - And Yours Aren’t Immune

Seattle Naked Pedal-phile 'Pride' Parade in Front of Kids Is Sick, But Wait, There's More!

At a “pride” parade celebrating gay, trans, and +++ people in Seattle over the weekend, some were amused while others were shocked and thoroughly disgusted by a contingent of mostly male exhibitionists who rode bikes buck naked. The men, waving their dingle dangles and freak flags, rode bikes to strike a blow for pedal-philes everywhere — or something.

They also think it’s really rude of you to notice and comment on it.

The crack news team over at Seattle’s KOMO 4 News, who grew up in a time of anything goes until the cops come, doesn’t understand that indecent exposure is a crime. This is exemplified by a story entitled, “Reports of nudity at Seattle’s Pride events draws attention but no official complaints.” It details that “beyond not wearing their clothes, the people apparently caused no problems.” This is like standing in front of an inferno and swearing that, sure, the riot was fiery but it was mostly peaceful.

Since it’s obvious that the main idea behind “pride” is being proud of same-sex attraction and the consummation of said attraction, sex is basically what a peloton of peddling perverts is all about. But don’t you dare question their motives.

The website for the organization notes that the “This LGBTQIA+ reunion” — reunion? — is a “free, fun, community-wide celebration advancing awareness of LGBTQIA+ issues and promoting mutual respect and equal human rights for all.”

We’re pretty sure no self-respecting person believes “mutual respect and equal human rights” are served by the awareness of naked men shaking their private parts in public. Usually, a “community” is made up of an array of decent people sans perverts, but what happened on Saturday was a civic embarrassment at the very least.  Usually, this behavior will get you a trip to jail or a star turn on “To Catch a Predator.”

In fact, community standards being what they are, or at least used to be, this is indecent behavior, most especially in front of children — or with children, as you’ll see in this video:

Did you catch that? Here it is in slower motion.

In what world does anyone take pride in bicycling naked in public with a child?

And when is it appropriate for naked men to play in the pubic water feature where children play?

These men know it’s not appropriate, and they get some weird pleasure from exposing themselves in front of children. It’s wrong. Does the act of being naked in public provide them some sexual pleasure from the shock value? Maybe these weirdos should ask Joe Biden’s daughter, who blames her sex addiction on her dad showering with her at an inappropriate age.

Nudity is legal in Seattle. But indecent exposure, which this appears to be, is against the law.

A Seattle lawyer teases out the issues with this full-frontal nudity in public.

In Washington, a person commits the crime of indecent exposure if that person intentionally exposes himself or herself – or exposes someone else – in a manner that is “open and obscene” while knowing such conduct will probably cause “reasonable affront or alarm” to any observers.

To convict someone of indecent exposure, a prosecutor must prove each of these four “elements” of the crime:

Intentionality: A person may be convicted of indecent exposure only if the exposure was intentional.
Knowing the exposure may cause affront or alarm: It does not have to be a perpetrator’s intent to cause affront or alarm. It’s enough that the perpetrator was aware that affront or alarm would probably occur.

Exposure: This is the most obvious element of the crime, but simple nudity alone, whether partial or total, does not constitute indecent exposure.

An open and obscene manner: There must be an open and obscene level or manner of exposure. The law explicitly spells out that breastfeeding in public is not “obscene” and does not constitute indecent exposure.

Question: are any alarm bells going off for anyone about this?

And what’s worse is that the city embraces this kind of behavior in the name of equity or something.  When is it ever OK for strange adults to expose themselves to children in public — and get sponsorships for doing it? Talking to you, Starbucks, you whackadoodledoos.

We’re sorry to report, however, that things are going to get worse. The weekend before this “pride” event, the Seattle naked bike ride took place.  As you can imagine, it was more of this type of behavior.

Portland also holds a yearly naked bike ride to, you know, Keep Portland Weird.

Both the event and the slogan were stolen from other cities in the name of originality.

Portland’s naked bike ride occurs in the evening, but riders start earlier in the daytime and ride through neighborhoods — to get a rise out of the neighbors. There’s just something about the gasps and shocked looks from Portlanders and their children that get these pedal-philes off. After the ride, several of Portland’s “naked friendly” watering holes open their doors to accommodate the weirdos. Streets are closed. Police are tasked with performing traffic control to keep naked bicycle riders safe. As usual, Portland protects its weirdos.

“Clothing is optional but helmets and shoes are still recommended,” writes a local news outlet. Intersectionality has its privileges.

When I was a kid, my friends and I were walking through a local park on the way to school. A man was there, holding his outie to get a reaction out of us. He did it for sexual pleasure. But instead of being affirmed for being a sex pervert predating upon children, he would have been arrested. Times have changed.

After filing most of my stories, I wonder if this will be the day that the Deep State Borg silences PJ Media and me. Will this be the day I get a visit from the Biden IRS or a gunned-up officer who wants to sit me down for a ‘friendly’ inquisition?

100 Idaho MassResistance parents protest at their city’s Pride event

Event included Drag Queens, sex kits, children, weirdness, and more (see photos!)

LGBT movement annually targets this conservative city. RINO politicians caved in, as usual.

June 24, 2023

Over a hundred local Idaho MassResistance people boldly confronted the LGBT invasion of their town. [All photos by MassResistance.]

In Rexburg, Idaho, over 100 local Idaho MassResistance parents came and protested at the June 10 “Pride Day” event, which was held in the main city park next to a popular playground. The main objection was using a public venue to expose children to the deviance – particularly Drag Queens – that this event has brought in the past.

Earlier that week, more than 80 MassResistance parents had flooded into the recent City Council meeting to demand that the permit for the event be revoked and that a strong ordinance prohibiting lewd public acts be passed. But the RINO (and cowardly) City Council refused to even bring it up for discussion. There were also hundreds of anti-Drag Queen yard signs across the city to voice that demand.

The event organizers reacted to that outrage by moving the scheduled “Drag Queen” performances to a private location in the evening and excluding minors from it, which was a win for MassResistance.

But the Pride “celebration” was still steeped in deviance. It included sex kits being handed out, perverse Drag Queens, and other dysfunctional behavior — and lots of children. Outrageously, several local businesses participated in support as vendors. And it was gleefully attended by the city's RINO mayor.

Not surprisingly, the crowd of a few hundred pro-LGBT attendees appeared to be mostly from other places. That is a common LGBT tactic: bringing lots of people from elsewhere into conservative towns for events, to make it look as if it were well-attended by locals.

The pro-family protesters were peaceful but completely unafraid. Though a few were assaulted by LGBT activists, they didn’t back down and definitely made their point!

Sex kits for the attendees

There was a booth distributing “sex kit” packets – which included various types of condoms, lubricant for anal sex, “dental dams” for lesbian sex, and information for treating the sexually-transmitted diseases which invariably come from that behavior.

This Drag Queen appears to be "Crystal Blue Water."

Weirdness, hate, dysfunction

Every “Pride” event has bizarre, dysfunctional, and purposefully offensive things.

What would "Pride" be without men trying to be women?

They're not shy about their goals.

This man became quite animated when he saw the pro-family people holding signs.

Laws mean nothing to unhinged Leftists. Lots of signs were stolen from people's yards. This wacko figured he'd come back and brag about it.

At one point, many of the participants did a “march” around the park. Almost none of these appeared to be local residents.

Pro-family protesters cool off the event!

Over 100 local MassResistance folks came to say "No" to this invasion of the community.

The Left loves to "protest" pro-family events. They're not used to having it happen to them!

These Christian activists brought their message: There are only two sexes - that's what makes a family.

Telling it like it is: "Drag shows for kids is GROOMING!"

This couple's basic unapologetic message: "We're here. We're not queer."

There were also pro-family protesters right in front of the stage where the Drag Queens had been scheduled to perform.

LGBT "enforcers"

The event included a cadre of thug types (below) dressed in green and aqua shirts whose role seemed to be to intimidate pro-family people. We were told that two of them actually assaulted parents. But that didn't work. None of our people were intimidated.

Police protection

The police seemed only interested in protecting the vulgar participants from "harm" – not the peaceful protesters from attacks by the LGBT crowd, or the children from anything.

The RINO mayor comes to take in "Pride"

The RINO mayor of this conservative city came to enjoy the “pride” celebration and to stick it to his constituents who disagree.

The grinning mayor (left) even posed for a photo.

And of course, booths for mental health therapy

One of the lesser-known aspects of the LGBT world is the large number of groups providing therapy for a variety of mental health issues. “Gay” newspapers often have multiple pages of such ads.  No other type of event (e.g., Irish, Hispanic, music, etc.) would have booths for this "service."

ALT TEXT
Greenstone Counseling offers counseling on “anxiety, depression, trauma ... and more” for “LGBTQ+.”
ALT TEXT
Misty Mountain Therapy provides therapy and treatment to children and adults for "a wide variety of disorders" for "LGBTQ+" patients and others.

That evening, the Drag Queen performance in a public theater

At 8:30 in the evening at a city-owned theater, the Drag Queens did their "performances" which had previously been scheduled for the daytime event. Maybe 80 people showed up. It looked like almost all of them were from out of town.

ALT TEXT

Final thoughts

According to the local Idaho MassResistance people, this was a big win! It got the Drag Queen performances away from kids and raised awareness across town like never before.

The politicians and others got a very strong message – and that pressure will continue. There is also talk about boycotting those local vendors.

All through June, “Pride Month” themes and events are being pushed as publicly as possible – and people are being intimidated from criticizing it. The goal is to force their anti-family LGBT agenda into a community’s social, moral, and religious civic culture. But local MassResistance families are pushing back. It’s necessary for everyone to do that!

NYC LGBTQ Activists: ‘We’re Coming for Your Kids’

NYC LGBTQ Activists: ‘We’re Coming for Your Kids’

New York City LGBTQXYZLMNOP etc. etc. activists just came out of the closet… as pedophiles. At least, how else should we interpret a lot of LGBTQ activists marching about chanting, “We’re coming for your children”?

Of course, this chant is similar to the sentiment expressed by our esteemed president and his ever-brilliant White House press secretary. “There is no such thing as someone else’s child,” Joe Biden asserted in April. “Our nation’s children are all our children.” Fact-check: false. And in May, White House Press Secretary and open lesbian Karine Jean-Pierre made the same creepy claim regarding parents’ objections to transgender surgeries for children: “These are our kids. They belong to all of us.” These are the people running our country.

The alphabet soup crowd can’t reproduce naturally, thanks to their inherently infertile sexual perversions or genital mutilation. But they are doing their best — or worst — to perpetuate their insanity by indoctrinating young Americans, trying to convince children from toddlerhood to switch “genders,” surgically remove body parts, or define their whole lives around their “sexual orientation.”

The Daily Caller reported on June 24 about the New York City drag march freaks who want your children (at least one marcher had almost completely bare breasts):

“We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children,” the activists shouted as they marched. The marchers convened at Tompkins Square Park and made their way through the East Village before stopping at Stonewall Inn. Stonewall Inn, a gay bar, was the site of a police raid which sparked violent protests known as the Stonewall Riots in 1969.

Other video taken of the event shows protestors with signs reading, “Groom Cissies” and “Drag isn’t for Cissies.”

As concerns rise over explicit drag events marketed to and performed for children, some states are taking action to prohibit underage kids from attending these shows.

And no wonder. Such blatant displays of seeming pedophilic enthusiasm are enough to stand any normal parent’s hair on end.

It’s significant that legislation restricting transgender surgeries on kids or drag performances in front of children are always vilified as “anti-LGBTQ.” In April, organizers actually canceled a Florida Pride parade after legislation was passed banning kids from attending drag shows. How is that not a tacit admission that one of the main purposes of the LGBTQ Pride parade was grooming children?

We need to call these groomers out for what they are. They say they’re coming for our kids — and sadly, terrifyingly, they’re not joking.

Who Expected This? First Transgender Lawmaker Had Child Porn

Shocker: Nation's First Trans Lawmaker Arrested on Child Porn Charges

I know: knock me over with a feather, right? The first man who insists he is a woman to become a state lawmaker, Stacie Marie Laughton, has been arrested on charges of distributing child pornography. As PJM’s Paula Bolyard put it, “Who could have predicted that someone who immerses himself in sexual perversion could do something like this?” The answer is that no one on the Left could have predicted it, because Leftists remain determined to pretend, and demand that we pretend, that the transgender madness isn’t madness at all, and that those who are in the grip of these delusions and fantasies are perfectly normal and well-adjusted.

The Daily Wire reported Friday that a gentleman named Stacie Marie Laughton, formerly known as Barry Charles Laughton, Jr., “is now facing four counts of distributing sexually explicit images of children.” According to a Thursday report in the Nashua, N.H., Patch, Sgt. John Cinelli of the Nashua Police Department said that officers “spoke with reporting parties that indicated Laughton distributed sexually explicit images of children.”

Laughton’s claim to fame is that he was elected, not once but twice, to the New Hampshire state legislature. Apparently, he managed to conceal the unsavory details of his record from New Hampshire voters long enough to get elected the first time. But then he was elected again. It’s unclear why Granite State voters are so fond of this fellow, as his record is full of even more red flags than just the fact that he is a man who has grown his hair long and now, despite his receding hairline, demands to be regarded as a woman.

Back in 2008, according to the Patch, “she was convicted of conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and falsifying physical evidence charges while living in Laconia as a man.” That sentence neatly encapsulates the madness of our age. Patch dutifully refers to Laughton as “she,” and says he was “living in Laconia as a man,” when the reality is exactly the opposite: he is now living as a woman when he is actually a man and was living as one in 2008. And despite the fact that Laughton’s derangement and mental illness are on full display in Patch’s report, Patch feeds his destructive delusions by pretending that he really is a woman.

Laughton was elected to the New Hampshire state legislature in November 2012. By this time, he was apparently claiming to be a woman, as Patch notes that he was “the first transgender elected official in New Hampshire and one of only a handful across the United States at the time.” The Daily Wire says he was “the nation’s first transgender-identifying state lawmaker.” It was only after he was elected that Laughton’s “felony status and jail time came to light. After talking with state Democrats and eyeing the media coverage, Laughton resigned.”

He was down, but he wasn’t out, reports the Patch: “A special election was scheduled a few weeks later, and Laughton signed up to run again. However, officials determined she was ineligible to hold public office, according to state law, because she had not completed her sentence — her sentence included a 10-year good behavior clause and a restitution requirement.” Laughton didn’t quite make it through ten years of good behavior: in 2015, he was “arrested on a felony charge, accused of making a bomb threat against the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center.” With admirable self-awareness, Laughton “blamed ‘mental illness’ for the bomb threat incident.”

Yet despite openly acknowledging being mentally ill, Laughton hadn’t given up on his dream of a political career. Patch notes oddly that “after paying restitution on the fraud charge from 2008 and serving the good behavior clause, Laughton was allowed to run for office again in 2019.” Yet the good behavior clause was for ten years, which he could not possibly have fulfilled, given his 2015 bomb threat. Nevertheless, Laughton was elected a New Hampshire state representative in 2020, and a selectman in 2011, 2019, and 2021.

Related: Biden’s ‘Gender-Fluid’ Ex-Nuclear Waste Chief Arrested for ANOTHER Theft of Women’s Luggage

The popular statesman, however, just couldn’t keep on the right side of the law. He was “arrested in July 2021 on seven counts of penalty for false information, accused of misusing the state’s 911 texting system. According to a report on Patch, she claimed she was being spoofed at the time.” Then, after being re-elected yet again in Nov. 2022, he resigned again, after being arrested again for “stalking a woman in Hudson.” Yet again, Laughton had kept the unsavory details of his life from voters until after he was safely reelected.

So we have serial women’s luggage thief Sam Brinton and now Stacie Laughton and no doubt innumerable others to show us the obvious: those men who genuinely think that they’re women are not of sound mind. Their delusions should not be catered to. They should not be in positions of responsibility. And they most certainly shouldn’t be lauded as heroes and role models.

Four Children Rescued From Drag, Drugs and Sex Party in Squalid Boston Apartment (Oh, Yeah—There Was a Dead Guy There, Too)

Four Children Rescued From Drag, Drugs and Sex Party in Squalid Boston Apartment (Oh, Yeah—There Was a Dead Guy There, Too)

After crying out for help, four frightened children were rescued from a back bedroom in a squalid Boston apartment. Authorities had been called to the scene to assist an adult who had gone into cardiac arrest. They walked into an apparent drag party that featured sex toys, drug paraphernalia, and six adults who “appeared to be male.”

Boston 25 News reported:

Emergency crews responded to the apartment shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday morning, according to the police report. Boston Fire and EMS arrived first, followed by police. They found an adult dead. The cause of death remains under investigation.

[…]

According to the fire department report that I reviewed, firefighters found six adults “who appeared to be males” in the apartment, with four kids in a back bedroom. One of the men tried to stop first responders from going into the room where they found the children, who are ages 5 to 10. The report said the adults were uncooperative and denied having children inside the apartment.

[…]

The relationship between the four children and the adults remains unclear. The fire and police departments both filed reports with the state Department of Children and Families [DCF]. Police officers cited the “conditions of the home.”

NECN interviewed Boston City Councilor Erin Murphy, who told him she spoke with the Boston firefighters who found the children. “There was hoarding, a lot of uncleanliness in the apartment,” Murphy related. “Lots of sex toys and drug paraphernalia all over the place.”

Murphy said it was then that “One of the firefighters heard what they thought was a child’s voice calling for help.” She related that some of the revelers attempted to stop the firefighters from finding the children. “And when he opened the door, he saw four children and what I believe are two adults in the back room, and it was really disturbing to him and they just seemed scared.”

Sam Dillon, president of Boston Firefighters Local 718, told NECN, “I believe that our firefighters did save [the children’s] lives.” In an apparent reference to the deplorable and depraved conditions in the apartment, he added, “Had it not been for the quick response of Boston firefighters, had it not been for their diligence to observe everything that was going on, this would have been a lot worse.”

A DCF spokesperson confirmed that they’d since taken custody of the children, who lived in the Southie (South Boston) public housing apartment.

In a related story, the number of Americans who say same-sex relationships are morally acceptable plummeted by seven percent in the last year. A few years back, when it was just LGB, almost no one cared about consenting adults suiting themselves. But when the TQ+ crowd hitched their wagon to the rainbow and started grooming and indoctrinating toddlers and school children, parents took notice.

Don’t expect the Boston children’s story to get a lot of love from the mainstream media. They don’t want you to know about this sort of thing. Their only purpose is to promote woke narratives and suppress any news that exposes the dark side of their ideology. Here are some other horrifying stories my PJ Media colleagues have dragged up into the sunlight:

These transgender activists communicate with minors online and try to lure them from their families

This gay married couple caught raping and pimping their adopted special needs boys

This 12-year-old girl was raped by an older boy who was allowed in the school girls’ bathroom

There are more, but you get the idea. Any one of these hideous crimes, if committed by someone in a MAGA hat or at a Catholic school, would be front-page prime-time news for days. But because they were committed by the Left’s pet perverts, they get the silent treatment from Big Media.

Space Force general ripped for ‘ridiculous’ woke comments

'Outnumbered' panelists react to Space Force Lt. Gen. Deanna Burt's admission that she may be "compelled" to consider less-qualified candidates due to states' anti-LGBT laws.

Burt said the rising number of anti-LGBTQ+ laws “demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole.”

Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt said anti-LGBTQ state laws sometimes forced her to choose 'less qualified' candidates for postings in those states

Lt. Gen. DeAnna M. Burt is the Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear, United States Space Force. She was nominated for promotion to major general on May 4, 2020, and confirmed in the rank by the United States Senate seventeen days later. Burt is the first woman to hold the rank of major general in the U.S. Space Force. She previously served as the commander of Combined Force Space Component Command and vice commander of Space Operations Command from 2020 to 2022. Burt entered the United States Air Force in 1991 as a distinguished graduate of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Her career has included numerous satellite operations and staff positions in Air Force Space Command and United States European Command. In June 2023, Burt gave a scathing speech at the Pentagon's Pride event, calling out "anti-LGBTQ+" state laws, saying such legislation occasionally prevents her from picking the most qualified job candidates. She also hinted at the reason behind the delay in moving Space Command headquarters to Huntsville, stating that the selection of the new home for Space Command cannot be based solely on a city or state's top-ranked qualifications.

Protesters shut down Dodger Stadium on Pride Night

P.S.: WE DON'T SUPPORT CATHOLICISM AND/OR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND ITS BELIEFS

The Dodgers and Drag ‘Nuns’~Blasphemy in the stadium.

BY THOM NICKELS

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-dodgers-and-drag-nuns;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

It’s ironic in a way that the drag-satirical group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, founded in Iowa City before establishing itself in San Francisco in 1979, came into existence after the religious habit revolution in the Catholic Church had essentially stripped the common Catholic sisters, sans contemplative orders, of their time-honored uniforms.

Those uniforms, as varied and rich as a fireworks display on the 4th of July, never failed to impress the secular world. Yet by 1979, many Catholic nuns were indistinguishable from other women in the street. While some orders of nuns went through a series of modified habits before ditching the habit altogether—think truncated veils with matching skirt and tops that made them resemble parochial school students—most of the big religious orders went whole hog into secular fashion.

How to figure out who was a nun and who was not? Well, you might look for a miniature cross-pin, but a cross-pin that doesn’t flaunt the ‘Jesus thing’ in a big way.

Nuns, at one point in American Catholic life, were the pit bull guardians of everything Catholic: faith, morals, you name it. Many were over the top and abused their authority (ear twisting, ruler beatings, etc.) but at least you knew they weren’t heretics. Those days are gone.

Today, many of the most public nuns are guardians of social justice causes commonly associated with the Left.

Enter the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (OPI), a confusing drag group that has run the gamut from committing sacrilegious acts to performing serious works of charity.

The group is not composed of “thrown together” members but is modeled on “real” Catholic religious orders. Prospective members must be serious about a lifetime commitment. Candidates go through postulant and novitiate stages and then are voted in or out by members of the community. There are OPI houses of drag nuns in Canada, Australia, Europe and South America.

OPI religious habits are hyper-absurdist concoctions that bear little resemblance to what traditional Catholic nuns wear today. Given that the group was founded as a performance organization whose mission is to satirize issues of sex and gender—OPI was not founded as a charity organization. They must by necessity be a clownish and follow a “theology” of buffoonery.

From a “gay rights” historical perspective, OPI has always been a fringe group that interested primarily Catholic and ex-Catholic gay men who were still trying to “process” their homosexuality. OPI was called “a Catholic thing” that had little resonance with non-Catholic (gay) activists. True scandalous behavior and revolutionary “punch” was reserved for the infamous San Francisco group, The Cockettes, who were irreverent drag queens extraordinaire that filmmaker John Waters once called “hippie acid freak drag queens.”

In 2011, gay conservative writer Andrew Sullivan, a Catholic, criticized OPI for hosting a “Hunky Jesus” contest. He also said that the group was composed of “smug liberal bigots.”

“I am a First Amendment absolutist….And I’m also a solid defender of the right to blasphemy,” Sullivan said. “But there are smart ways of doing this, ways that illuminate broader issues—think of ‘The Book of Mormon’ or any South Park episode….You want to grow some balls? Hold a Hunky Mohammed Contest on Ramadan…”

Sullivan got a lot of flak for that comment. OPI told him,

“Rail against the supposed grief we cause believers and wrap yourself in self-righteous anger if it makes you feel good—it’s your shtick and in these tough times I know you need a paycheck…..Our fervent prayer for you is that next year we might see you in Dolores Park, lounging on a big pink blanket, wearing a fabulous Easter bonnet, pounding back dome Dom and laughing as a new line of Hunky Jesii parade before you. Until then, go and sin some more.”

During Pope John Paul II’s visit to San Francisco in 1987, OPI preformed a public “exorcism” of the Pope while a number of demonstrators held signs that read, “Pope go Home” and “Nazi Pope.”

The New York Times reported,

“The Pope’s visit to San Francisco was the most problematic so far of his American tour. The demonstrators—homosexuals, feminists and some Jews – gathered about 2,000 strong behind metal barricades near the 196-year-old mission to protest the Pope’s conservative theology and social agenda.”

Meanwhile, The San Francisco Chronicle ran the following headline: “Pope Tells AIDS Sufferers They Have God’s Love.”

In older pictures of OPI from the early 1980s, one notices a far more serious intent on the part of the “Sisters” to mock the piety of Catholic saints in ecstasy, either while gazing upward or at a crucifix. The habits worn by OPI at that time then (mostly all black) were more in alignment with the habits of nuns prior to the Second Vatican Council.

The LA Dodgers’ decision to award OPI with its so-called Community Hero Award on June 16th has garnered the support of a number of progressive (real) Catholic nuns, or the nuns with little cross-pins who ditched their habits for secular dress. These nuns are referred to by Traditional Catholics as ‘Hippie-Dippy’ nuns from the 1960s, the folksong/Mass nuns whose religious orders are dying out because young women who want to become nuns today are joining the traditionalist orders.

A recent National Catholic Reporter piece on real Catholic nuns who support the drag nuns in OPI caught my eye. (The progressive National Catholic Reporter is not to be confused with the conservative National Catholic Register, two very different publications claiming loyalty to the same Church.)

The Reporter quotes a Sister of Saint Joseph (Sister Nancy Corcoran), a Sister Barbara Battista from Sisters of the Providence of St. Mary-in-the-Woods, and Sister Jeannine Gramick of New Ways Ministry, whom Pope Francis has called “a valiant woman.”

These nuns have glowing things to say about OPI. Sister Gramick, for instance, notes that,

“While I am uncomfortable with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence using the nuns’ old garb to draw attention to bigotry, whether Catholic or not, there is a hierarchy of values in this situation. The choice of clothing, even if offensive to some, can never trump the works of mercy.”

The secular dress nuns say they support the drag nuns because of the charity work they do. But charity work falls under the social justice umbrella when it is moved into first place over prayer and contemplation.

I might ask Sister Gramick the following question: What about OPI’s misuse of the crucifix, or its mockery of genuine religious ecstasy?

What about OPI’s condemnation of Pope John Paul II in 1987? Charity work—that is, giving publicly in order to receive recognition and adulation—isn’t as grand as it seems when something far more important is being mocked.

I’m reminded of a satanic group in Philadelphia in the late 1970s, the Church of the Process, that did charity work when it came to feeding the homeless. “I give you this meat loaf, oh homeless one, in the name of Lord Lucifer. Enjoy!”

While OPI was more of a sacrilegious group in the 1980s and 1990s than it appears to be today, the group can still be viewed as having played a role in the continued “decomposition” of all things Christian in today’s world.

That “decomposition” has resulted in, among other things, a burgeoning “Queering Jesus” movement that is now almost the norm in progressive Churches and divinity schools.

In this new world, theology is being turned into a clown drag show and masquerade, where fetishes like sadomasochism are seen as having “spirituality.”

Another story for another time….

In the meantime, over in Dodger-land where the drag sisters were scheduled to receive their Community Hero Award for charity work among marginalized communities, a watershed-miracle protest occurred: a crowd growing exponentially from hundreds to thousands of people until the numbers outside Dodger Stadium looked uncountable. Nobody expected so many Catholics and other Christians to come together, especially in woke Los Angeles. The numbers were stunning, especially compared to the nearly empty stadium during the pre-game ceremony when the tinfoil sisters, facing empty seats, were lauded as heroes.

News anchors and talking heads on TV stations all over the country attempted to hide their disbelief as they reported on the thousands of Dodger prayer vigil protesters. You could see the consternation in their eyes as they ran film clips of the empty stadium as the tinfoil sisters took their bow.

Yes, in some sense it was a miracle, an extraordinary blowback in the face of Woke.

While some LGBTQ organizations will interpret the Dodger stadium miracle on June 16 as yet another sad example of attacks on the safety and well-being of LGBTQ people—a display of hate and intolerance—that view has been shown for what it is: a lie.

Dodger pitcher Clayton Kershaw and many in the crowd of prayer warriors said their protest was not against the LGBTQ community. This is about a group mocking religion, they said, a group that mocks the Blessed Virgin and Jesus Christ; in effect, a group that crosses the line into serious blasphemy.

Baltimore: Muslim conference featured speakers who’ve called for intifada in US, executing homosexuals and apostates

No one minds. But imagine the uproar if the Baltimore Convention Center had even dared to host a conference featuring speakers who oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

“Conference in Baltimore features Islamist speakers with antisemitic histories,” JNS, June 12, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) concluded their three-day annual conference late last month at the Baltimore Convention Center.

A number of activists and clerics with histories of antisemitism and anti-Israel statements were listed on the docket at the gathering, which featured more than 500 vendors and drew some 30,000, according to the Turkish embassy in Washington.

One panel, titled “Countering and Dismantling Islamophobia, Locally and Globally,” featured Hatem Bazian, chair and founder of the University of California-Berkeley Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project. Bazain presented on “Palestine: Century of Settler Colonialism.”

An advocate of boycotting Israel and a defender of Hamas, Bazian said at a 2004 San Francisco rally: “It’s about time that we have an intifada in this country.”…

Among dozens of speakers on the docket were Siraj Wahhaj (who has defended executing gay people and had associations with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind); Omar Suleiman (who, among other things, rejects Jewish claims to Jerusalem); and Abdul Nasir Jangda (who has advocated executing Muslim apostates).

Authorities Panic as Middle-Schoolers Rebel Against 'Pride' Force-feeding

Students protest pride, "U-S-A are my pronouns"

School students protested pride month after being encouraged to wear rainbow clothes to the Burlington, MA school.

According to reports, students ripped down signs and chanted, "U-S-A are my pronouns."

Woke Teachers FREAK OUT as Students Chant ‘My Pronouns Are USA!’

Uh oh: students at a Massachusetts middle school rose up in protest against a force-feeding of “pride” beliefs, leaving authorities scrambling to put down the rebellion before it could spread.

Friday, June 2, was expected to be just another run-of-the-mill episode of school authorities cramming the state religion down the throats and into the brains of impressionable youngsters. But something unexpected happened: some of the targeted minors stood up against the conditioning session. The New York Post reports:

The young protesters charged through Marshall [Simonds] Middle School in Burlington on June 2 because the school had encouraged its students to show their pride by wearing rainbow clothing, Nancy Bonassera, co-chair of the Burlington Equity Coalition, told the town’s Select Committee Monday.

“There was a counter-demonstration in response to what should have been a day to celebrate where students wore red white and blue clothing chanted ‘my pronouns are USA’ and destroyed rainbow decorations at the school,” said Bonassera.

The protesting students intimidated others who were gladly participating in the celebration [yeah, sure they were], which was organized by the school’s Spectrum club for LGBTQ+ students and allies, computer science teacher Diana Marcus told BCAT News.

Most of the students accepted and wore rainbow flag stickers that were offered by school administrators until they noticed their peers ripping them off and throwing them on the floor.

“Over the course of the day you could actually see a reduction in the number of students walking around in rainbow-colored clothing. It was really tough.” Marcus said, adding that the protest appeared planned.

Bonassera called on the school to crush the dissent by visiting “consequences” on the renegades, saying it should make an example of them in order to emphasize the town’s commitment to DEI. (Let that sink in.) “We also believe that without any direct and concrete action, these incidents will occur again and increase in severity,” she fretted. And that is the real fear of the rainbow enforcers.

Ten days later, on Monday, town leaders met to discuss the uprising. The next night, the Burlington School Committee met as well. Regional newser NECN covered it:

The Burlington School Committee met for the first time Tuesday night, since what officials call “an incident of homophobia” happened at Marshall Simonds Middle School.

“Unfortunately, during the pride theme day, there were behaviors that were hurtful to students and the school community. We are now involved in a healing process,” said chairwoman Martha Simon.

In opening remarks, school leaders shared their support for the LGBTQ+ community while pointing to the age of the students involved.

“Ascribing hate to middle school children who are not yet fully developed I think is a mistake,” said Burlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Eric Conti.

That’s funny because Conti himself had already accused the students of hate — aka “homophobia” — in his letter to parents two days after the incident. He also wrote, “We ask all staff, teachers, and members of the Burlington Public School community to join us in taking a stand against homophobia and identity-directed hateful actions.” And he assured everyone that “A list of resources on how to talk to adults and children about identity hate is available below.”

After the uprising, the school swiftly met with the offending students to “educate them about how their behaviors affect others, to take responsibility for their behaviors, and to help us become a more inclusive community where all of us feel that we belong,’ Burlington School Committee Chairwoman Martha Simon told the Boston Globe.  And a reinvigorated new DEI board is expected to be visited upon the recalcitrant student body in the future. The clampdown is underway!

The UK Daily Mail is the only major source that bothered to give a few lines of text to the brave protestors:

“Parents have told local news outlets their straight-identifying students said they felt forced to participate and were ‘offended’ by the Tennessee Williams quote that reiterated that the human heart is ‘curved like a road through the mountains’ and only lines and streets can be straight.”

‘My daughter just said, “You know, mom, that’s offensive to me, I am straight,”‘ Christine Steiner told WCVB. ‘Some of the kids threw the stickers on the ground. But I can only speak for my daughter, she just didn’t want to wear that to school. It’s not that she wanted to hurt anybody’s feelings.’

It goes without saying that religious, conservative, and/or philosophically opposed students are not at all made to feel safe, valued, or included at most schools. Nor was this protest acceptable, though schools nationwide tolerate or even encourage student walkouts and protests against Big Left’s targets all the time.

We GenXers are at the point in our continuum that all generations reach sooner or later, where we wonder what the hell is wrong with the kids today. But unlike all previous generations, who were horrified at youthful rebellion and disrespect for norms, we are baffled at today’s kids’ complete conformity and respect for authority and state religion. So today, I send great respect to the brave young heroes at Marshall Simonds who stood up for themselves and defied authority. All others take note: this is what speaking truth to power actually looks like.

‘Degenerate’ Transgender Activists Strip at White House Pride Event With Kids Present

Do you ever feel as if Americans are practically daring God to try the Sodom and Gomorrah fire-and-brimstone treatment on us? Monday was one of those days for me, as it was revealed transgender activists proudly stripped their tops off on the White House lawn during a weekend Pride event Joe Biden and handlers were hosting.

Besides the vile display being an abomination before one of America’s most historic and beloved buildings, there were children present at the event.

Todd Starnes reported, “Transgender activists exposed their private parts at the White House during President Biden’s gay pride celebration. Multiple children were present. The grotesque moments were all captured on video.”

As Starnes noted, “The president was already under fire for desecrating the American flag at the event — giving preference to the transgender flag. He also offended military personnel by noting that the bravest people he’s seen were on the White House lawn.” Because choosing to deny your biology to join the most popular and most protected group in America right now (LGBTQ), promoted and praised by almost every public and private institution, takes so much courage, right?

Disgusted conservatives took to Twitter to slam the trans strippers. Turning PointUSA’s Charlie Kirk identified the half-naked transgenders, “GRAPHIC: Trans TikTok ‘influencer’ Rose Montoya, posed topless at Biden’s White House Pride celebration. Next to him is a biological female, also topless, who had her breasts surgically removed.” These people need counseling, not affirmation in their sexual insanity.

The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles shared the video with the question, “Which group is more degenerate: the transvestite strippers or the White House staff that invited them?” The video shows Biden posing with the one activist who later goes half-nude.

YouTuber Matt Wallace shared a picture of a little girl at the Pride event, insisting, “WOKE PARENTS ARE CHILD ABUSERS!” Libs of TikTok also said, “This is what happened at the White House pride event. A disgrace to our country.”

The event even caused an international scandal. Britain First Party leader Paul Golding tweeted the trans activists’ video with the shocked comment, “Biden’s gay pride event at the White House had topless cross-dressers! 🤯🏳️‍🌈” Isn’t it inspiring what impression the Biden administration is making on the rest of the world?

Would the White House be equally empathetic to detransitioners, who bravely take the hard road of returning to live as their biological sex, often with permanent bodily damage and with intense hatred from LGBTQ activists? Probably not.

America is being ruled by sexual perverts who want to indoctrinate and mutilate children. God help us all.

Johns Hopkins University Is Literally Erasing Women to Be More ‘Inclusive’

Johns Hopkins University Is Literally Erasing Women to Be More 'Inclusive'

Johns Hopkins University, which has a longtime reputation for academic excellence, is the source of groundbreaking research, and has a top teaching hospital, is another institution that has given itself completely to the woke mob. I’ve written before about how the transgender movement is erasing women, and Johns Hopkins University proves it.

Under the guise of inclusivity, JHU has redefined “lesbian” in its LGBTQ Glossary (which can be found within its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion resources section on the school’s website) in such a way that leaves little doubt what the true goal of transgenderism is.

According to the glossary, a “lesbian” is defined as “a non-man attracted to non-men.”

Related: It Looks Like Harvard Identifies as a Garbage School Now

Included within the definition is a sentence explaining that the definition has been updated to be “more inclusive” to non-binary people.

“While past definitions refer to ‘lesbian’ as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women,” the page explains, “this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label.”

Got it? You can’t say that lesbians are women attracted to other women because of non-binary people. Is that all clear? Okay, great. But here’s where that explanation falls apart. Here’s the definition of a “gay man,” as presented on the very same page.

Gay Man: A man who is emotionally, romantically, sexually, affectionately, or relationally attracted to other men, or who identifies as a member of the gay community. At times, “gay” is used to refer to all people, regardless of gender, who have their primary sexual and or romantic attractions to people of the same gender. “Gay” is an adjective (not a noun) as in “He is a gay man.”

Well, that’s weird, isn’t it? A lesbian can’t be a woman attracted to other women because of non-binary people, but a gay man can still be a “gay man.” Why is that? How does this make any sense? Why is it that transgender ideology is so anti-woman? Haven’t you noticed that women tend to be the victims of transgenderism?

Not only are biological men being allowed to play and dominate in women’s sports, but lesbians are also being bullied and harassed for not being inclusive when they don’t want to date “women” who are biological males. Earlier this year, a lesbian dating app informed its users that anyone who wasn’t willing to date men via the app was a transphobe and not welcome anymore. In 2021, the BBC profiled lesbians who were literally being pressured to have heterosexual sex by so-called transgender women. We’ve also seen efforts to erase women from language by referring to mothers as “birthing people” and women as “people who menstruate.”

It is obvious that this effort of Johns Hopkins to be “inclusive” isn’t merely a shallow attempt to appease the LGBTQ crowd. Rather, it specifically panders to the transgender movement, which has become the most celebrated subset of the LGBTQ community, and sadly, as with everything else about the movement, women are the real victims. Before long, they’ll have no privacy, opportunities, rights, or identity because of the transgender movement.

LGBTQ Activists Send Bomb Threats to Target Locations for Betraying Their Community

LGBTQ Activists Send Bomb Threats to Target Locations for Betraying Their Community

When Target was revealed to be selling transgender clothing targeting children in its stores, the backlash resulted in billions of dollars of lost market value for the corporate retail giant. In a desperate attempt to minimize the damage and avoid a “Bud Light situation,” several stores in select markets moved the pride collection of merchandise away from the fronts of their stores and pared it down significantly.

This, of course, angered LGBTQ activists.

“Target should put the products back on the shelves and ensure their Pride displays are visible on the floors, not pushed into the proverbial closet,” Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said in a statement last month. “That’s what the bullies want.”

After years of priding itself as an ally of the LGBTQ community, Target’s efforts to minimize the fallout from its pride collection put the company at risk of another wave of backlash from the very community it was pandering to. And that backlash has come in the form of threats of violence.

According to a report from Fox News Digital, Target stores in at least five states received bomb threats in response to the company’s efforts to scale back the pride merchandise promotion in the hopes of quelling the outrage. The threats accused Target of betraying the LGBTQ community, were reported in Oklahoma, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Louisiana. However, no explosives were found in any of the targeted stores. According to the reports, similar threats had previously been made against Target stores in Ohio, Utah, and Pennsylvania.

For our VIP members: Woke Companies Wouldn’t Be in This Situation if They Had Never Pandered in the First Place

“You have betrayed the LGBTQ+ community. You are pathetic cowards who bowed to the wishes of far-right extremists who want to exterminate us,” one threatening email sent to a Louisiana store read. “We will not tolerate intolerance nor indifference. If you are not with us then you are against us. That is why we placed a bomb in each of your locations, evacuate now as this is only to cause economic damage.”

“We are going to play a game,” another email sent to an Oklahoma location read. “2 of these Target locations have bomb in them. We hid bombs inside some product items. The bombs will detonate in several hours, guess which ones have the bombs. Time is ticking. 4/19/1995.”

The date referenced in the email is the date of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

No explosives were found in any of the locations. But what does this tell you? Those who objected to Target grooming children in their stores responded by voting with their wallets. LGBTQ activists responded to Target’s mild capitulation with threats of violence and death.

That should tell you all you need to know about the so-called “pride community.”

SHOCKING: Air Force Under Fire for Saluting Non-American Flag – Unpatriotic Display!

The US Air Force has come under fire due to a tweet that showed a soldier saluting an LGBTQ+ flag to honor and celebrate Pride Month. Conservatives believe it undermines American principles of patriotism and unity, and an intensifying debate has ensued over the military’s support for the Pride movement. They argue that the soldier’s salute should be reserved solely for the American flag. In contrast, others feel that it’s crucial to acknowledge the contributions of LGBTQ+ service members. The Air Force’s gesture of inclusivity has further widened the divide between conservatives and progressives, with many criticizing the military for engaging in divisive social activism.

Pride Month and Why Schools Are Sexualizing Children And what parents must do.

BY TAMRA FARAH

Our son was verbal as a toddler and still is today at 34.  He hit the “why” stage at about 3 ½ – you know, when a young child learns something new and then they want to know why.   But he didn’t just ask why once. When he got the first answer, it was followed by another why, and another, and sometimes another. It was exhausting for Mom but a welcome sign of his intelligence at the same time.

Speaking of asking why, since it is “Pride Month,” why not stop and ask why our kids are being hypersexualized at school?  We have experienced a cultural revolution over the last three years with the ferocious expansion of the trans and gender ideology agenda, particularly in K-12 public schools.

So, why have public schools taken on this dramatic, life-changing, social, and sexual mission to lure children away from their biological identity as male or female without parental involvement?  Surely this isn’t just the latest fad or societal craze.  There must be an underlying mission.

Let’s look at how this whirlwind has made its way into classrooms and bathrooms at the expense of reading, writing, and arithmetic, along with tossing a needed focus on accurate history, social studies, and science out the school window.   We must dig deep for this answer, carry it forward and then expose and stop those who have political and financial agendas to match it.

A partial answer to that started in 1980 with the founding of the Human Rights Campaign.  By the 1990s HRC was lobbying and ensuring donations were made to Democrats and Republicans alike. Their goal was to normalize LGBTQ resulting in gay marriage. With that, an aura was created that LGBTQ is a protected class, which laid the foundation for where we are today culturally.

Fast forward to 2021, why did President Biden sign an executive order on day one in support of protecting transgenderism in schools, and why would the White House create a Toolkit on Transgender Equality.  These actions are supported now by the US Department of Ed’s policies and ongoing communications to promote transgenderism in schools, including praising Pride Month.

We also must ask why LGBTQ groups like Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, Learning for Justice, Gender Spectrum, Advocates for Youth, Planned Parenthood, and Gay–Straight Alliance, along with educational groups such as CASEL and Panorama Education Inc., are flooding classrooms and burdening teachers with LGBTQ oriented curricula and profiting from it.

Through these materials, young children are being targeted with this agenda and being transmuted into something other than whom they were born to be at school.  Why?

Some scholars say we could go back thousands of years, but a look at Hungarian Marxist Gyorgy Lukács, deputy commissar of education in the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919, and founder of Western and cultural Marxism, is a good place to start.  Lukács called for the sexualization of children in schools to separate them from their families and their religion. Lukács knew it was essential to destabilize the family unit and shift culture by separating children from their families to achieve his goal of building a Marxist society. As a result, the state captured the allegiance of the next generation, transforming them into activists for the Marxist cause.

So here we are 100 years later, already sliding toward socialistic/Marxist governance in America. And what begins to rise with lightning speed since the new administration took power in 2020?  Drag queen shows, and dozens of LGBTQ books with sordid tales and pornographic pictures are constantly being used by teachers who employ the power of suggestion around pronouns, create secret gender plans, and offer gender transition hormones and surgical therapies, all without parental notice or consent.  Why don’t schools want to notify you as a parent? Because they want to separate your children from you – that’s why.

Parents, you must insist that these Marxist crusaders stand down.  Parents and educators must stand strong for the next generation with courage and clarity.  We must protect children from the profound familial, emotional, and psychological harm that has proven to follow sexualization in youth.  Not to mention the separation from you that is underway.

We were naturally created for family and designed to be who we were born to be.  The social and sexual manipulation of children is bad for kids, damaging to families, and destructive to our free society.

Federal Judge Rejects Tennessee’s Anti-Drag Law as Unconstitutional~Fox Sponsors Partner Group with Dodgers to Honor “Drag Nuns”!

Federal Judge Rejects Tennessee's Anti-Drag Law as Unconstitutional

BY RICK MORAN

U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, wrote an opinion declaring that Tennessee’s effort to place strict legal limits on drag shows was unconstitutional.

The law is both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad” and encouraged “discriminatory enforcement,” according to the ruling. Indeed, since drag shows fall under First Amendment protections, legislatures in states that are considering passage of anti-drag legislation need to tread carefully and draw specific lines that can be enforced without bias or discrimination.

“There is no question that obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment. But there is a difference between material that is ‘obscene’ in the vernacular, and material that is ‘obscene’ under the law,” Parker said.

The bill says, “This amendment defines ‘adult cabaret entertainment’ as adult-oriented performances that are harmful to minors, as such term is defined under present law; feature go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, male or female impersonators, or similar entertainers; and include a single performance or multiple performances by an entertainer. An ‘entertainer’ means a person who provides.”

“It is a space where people explore their identities,” said Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, a professor of culture and gender studies at the University of Michigan, who has done drag himself. “But it is also a place where people simply make a living. Drag is a job. Drag is a legitimate artistic expression that brings people together, entertains, allows certain individuals to explore who they are, and allows all of us to have a very nice time. So it makes literally no sense for legislators, for people in government, to try to ban drag.”

It makes sense if children are the audience or the target of the performance. “Explicitly sexual and profane language is common in drag performances, but such content is avoided when children are the target audience,” reports AP. That simply isn’t universally true.

None of this should be interpreted as appropriate for children — even if it’s “Drag Queen Story Hour.” There has been enough anecdotal evidence that some drag queen story hours feature overt sexualization and inappropriate jokes, not to mention twerking and other sexually suggestive dancing in front of children.

“A lot of parents are wondering why is an adult male putting on women’s clothing and dancing and talking about sexual themes with other people’s children, not only in libraries but also in schools and other public institutions,” said Manhattan Institute’s Chris Rufo.

City Journal:

The drag queen might appear as a comic figure, but he carries an utterly serious message: the deconstruction of sex, the reconstruction of child sexuality, and the subversion of middle-class family life. The ideology that drives this movement was born in the sex dungeons of San Francisco and incubated in the academy. It is now being transmitted, with official state support, in a number of public libraries and schools across the United States. By excavating the foundations of this ideology and sifting through the literature of its activists, parents and citizens can finally understand the new sexual politics and formulate a strategy for resisting it.

The drag/queer movement likes to point out that 1950s comedy icon and early TV pioneer Milton Berle appeared in drag often. But everyone on planet Earth at the time knew that Berle wasn’t “making a statement” or pushing any kind of political agenda. Berle was doing straight-up comedy and wanted audiences to laugh at him, not buy into any gender-queer ideology. To use Berle as a queer drag-queen icon would have tickled the notorious womanizer, whose sexual appetite was legendary. Berle was loathe to use his comic genius for anything political.

Not-so-modern drag queens who believe they’re on a mission to change children’s consciousness and show them the “new normal” regarding gender fluidity, on the other hand, are truly political.

What drag queens want to do in front of consenting adults is none of my business. But for God’s sake, leave the children alone and allow them to grow up a little before you begin to sexualize them.

Disneyland’s Drag Queen Shows Us It’s Time for a New Age of Doing Without

Disneyland's Drag Queen Shows Us It's Time for a New Age of Doing Without

BY MEGAN FOX

They’re not going to leave the kids alone.

No matter how many billion woke corporations lose trying to shove gender cult nonsense down the throats of our kids and society in general, they aren’t going to stop. How do I know? Disneyland has put a man with a mustache in a dress as a greeter at the Bibbity Boppity Boo Salon where parents pay hundreds of dollars to give their little girls a princess makeover complete with a princess dress, hairstyle, and nails — which I can say from experience becomes the itchiest, hottest, glitter-filled, nightmare as soon as you walk out into the Florida sun. My daughter lasted about 15 minutes in that getup before we had to strip it off her and put her in something comfortable.

But THIS actually happened:

Let’s forget for a moment that children will almost certainly be scared by this person who exudes weirdness from every pore, but what little girl looks at him and thinks, “That’s what I want to be!”? None. Little girls like princesses because they are feminine and beautiful, not masculine and bizarre-looking.

But look around. The massive Target and Bud Light backlash did not stop Kohls from getting in on the idiocy. Nor did it stop Chick-fil-A from mandating DEI programming for its employees. They’re all pushing ahead at 400 miles per hour.

It’s time for the American public to boycott everything. By everything, I mean nothing except what is essential should be coming into our homes. Clothes can be bought second-hand at consignment shops or local thrift. You’ll save a ton of money and you won’t end up supporting this woke baloney that is infecting kids. Food can be made much cheaper at home and considering the inflation nightmare we are in, many of us don’t have much choice anymore.

Don’t eat out. Don’t buy food anywhere but the grocery store, and try to find one with a local owner who will benefit instead of some massive woke corporation. Shop at farm stands. Go in on a local cow with some neighbors and fill your freezer. These people have to feel the hurt.

Vacationing anywhere but Disney properties is pretty easy. Disney World and Disneyland are unaffordable for most people. There are national parks out there worth seeing. There are streams to fish in, campgrounds to explore, and mountains to climb. We’re all too fat, anyway. Make your summer vacation an active one. Cook your own food over a fire and enjoy nature that God will never spoil by slapping garish rainbow decor all over it.

It’s time to get serious, and not just about one store or one brand. Boycott them all. Replace as much as you can with locally grown, locally made, or gently used, or make do with less. Doing with less is actually something that would benefit us all. Isn’t it a great feeling when you take bags of giveaways out of the house? We should do more of that and less shopping. More giving and less mindless consumption will improve our lives, and it would send shock waves through the retail and fast food business.

My porch needs a sprucing up for sure. The cushions are faded and mismatched. But instead of spending hundreds of dollars on new ones, my daughter and I came up with a plan to do it ourselves using canvas drop cloths we can dye and sew into new covers. We figured out how to make fabric paint with acrylic paint and medium gloss so we can decorate the new pillows with our camping theme. We have wood scraps we can turn into candleholders and plywood to fashion wall hangings. It’s going to take longer than going to Walmart and just buying the stuff. It may even take us all summer (and I’ll share photos when it’s done), but I’m done giving my money to these places that have absolutely no regard for my family or me.

My new motto is “nothing but the basics.” Who’s with me?
