Folks, I am active on Twitter as one of the few advocates willing to take on the powerful LGBTQueer (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) movement, directly and unapologetically. Here below is a tweet I just posted that captures the essence of what this issue is really about–i.e., minus the media hype and “progressive” myths.
The photo is of Charlene Cothran, a former “gay” activist and LGBT publisher who accepted Jesus Christ and left lesbianism many years ago. Charlene is shown speaking at the very first Americans For Truth banquet in 2007, where she shared the amazing story of how the Lord worked in her life. Please go to her website, The Evidence Ministry, and support Charlene’s important work.
Please click HERE on my Twitter feed to read the hateful responses to this tweet and others like it. Twitter’s activist population is heavily tilted to the left, and many of them simply despise Christians, especially those willing to defend God’s truth about sexual morality.
I could fill a very large book with all the “#GayHate” tweets that have come my way since joining Twitter in 2009. (A lot of them smear me as a closeted homosexual–a lie they can’t seem to stop repeating.) But I’m glad I’m there along with a few others representing time-tested morality, sexual sanity, and hopefully, in my own flawed way, Jesus, whose love and forgiveness all of us sinners desperately need, whether we admit it or not. God bless. — Peter LaBarbera. AFTAH; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera
P.S. If you would like to find the peace of God that Charlene did when she turned her life over to Christ, visit this page to hear the “Good News” of the free gift of salvation, told by the late Billy Graham.
In truth, homosexuality is just another sin that men & women fall into. Not an identity. Not worthy of celebration. Just wrong behavior that can be overcome when a sinner humbly accepts God's forgiveness through #Jesus' act of supreme love on the cross:https://t.co/SeSD6lFs0Hpic.twitter.com/eKCBxPcwRP
Michael Warner is a Yale University professor and progressive “queer” theorist/activist who has been at war with the concept of “normal” for many years. In his book, “The Trouble with Normal: Sex, Politics, and the Ethics of Queer Life” (The Free Press: 1999), he writes about the influence of recklessly corrupt yet groundbreaking “sexologist” Alfred Kinsey. The latter’s 1948 book, “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male,” has in recent decades been exposed by Judith Reisman and others as the junkiest of “junk science” (it even contains heinous “data” from a child molester documenting his crimes against children—see photo of Table 34 at bottom):
Warner writes:
“More than anyone else, Alfred Kinsey was able to exploit the confusion at the heart of normal. One of his most dramatic points was that nonnormative sexual activities are, in fact, the statistical norm. Using his (admittedly unreliable) figures for things like extramarital sex and same-sex encounters, he calculated that 95 percent of the male population had committed some illicit sexual activities punishable by law…. Kinsey almost certainly exaggerated these figures, if only inadvertently through his irregular sampling. Yet the cataclysmic cultural impact of his study depended less on any of his numbers than on his central point about the contradictory idea of the normal. The idea of normal sexuality, he argued, is too distorted by moralism to be an accurate picture of normal behavior, and if people really were willing to accept behavior norms as normal, then their sexual morality would have to be radically different.”
________________________
Postscript 1) Warner’s elevation at Yale, which was founded by Christian believers in 1701 for the promulgation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is a testimony itself to the triumph of abnormality in American institutions, mostly due to the Left’s relentless pro-perversion activism. Put another way, he embodies the erosion of Judeo-Christian (biblical) norms that invariably comes when a nation strays from its more godly heritage.
Postscript 2) Although Warner is a “sex-positive” radical who is ideologically on the LGBTQueer left, he is regrettably accurate when it comes to the triumph of moral relativism. Most Americans now possess ideas of what is “normal” (and also “moral”) that not only conflict with historic and biblical norms, but also with widely-accepted sexual standards from just a few decades ago. Of course, this applies to the revolutionary “normalization” of homosexuality—look at Gallup’s annual poll on Americans’ attitudes toward homosexual behavior: from 57 percent of Americans who said homosexual “relations [sex] between consenting adults” should NOT be legal in 1986, to 73 percent in who said it SHOULD be legal in 2019, just 33 years later.
Another example is porn-inspired sex acts: anti-porn advocates, both feminists and social conservatives, have observed that the mainstreaming and proliferation of pornography has changed expectations of sexual behavior for younger men and women. This has led to the “normalizing” of unnatural acts that are common in porn, like anal sodomy (anal sex), among straights–which I presume Warner applauds. Such deviant practices are in turn celebrated in pop culture and taught as an acceptable sexual option to children through liberalized sex-ed in schools, and the downward moral spiral continues.
Child Molestation “Data”? The above is a photo-copy of Table 34 in groundbreaking “sexologist” Alfred Kinsey’s 1948 book, “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.” Note the timing of manipulated “orgasms” of children, ranging from a 5-month-old toddler to a 14 year-old.
This excellent speech a year ago by former leftist David Horowitz is worth 50 minutes of your time. If you’re like me, you will learn a lot of things you probably should have known–such as the short, innocuous prayer that was part of the Supreme Court’s 1962 ruling (Engel v. Vitale) stripping prayer from our public schools. Enjoy. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera
“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country. Amen.

Folks, I was interviewed Monday as a guest on on Christian talk show host Janet Mefferd’s program, “Janet Mefferd Today.” We discussed the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) surprise move to reduce the deferral time for blood donations from “men who have sex with men” from one year to three months–justified as necessary due to blood shortages during the coronavirus pandemic.
Here is a separate SoundCloud link to the program, or just use the link below:
Here is Janet’s description of the program:
Why has the FDA fast-tracked the ability of homosexual men to donate blood during the coronoavirus pandemic, and what are the real health risks? Plus: Franklin Graham fires back after taking constant flak from Leftists who criticize the Samaritan’s Purse field hospital in New York. Their reason? Graham has a biblical view of homosexuality. I’ll talk about it all with Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality. That and more on Monday’s JANE MEFFERD TODAY.
The Republican homosexual activist group Log Cabin Republicans quickly boasted that it had worked with allies within the Trump administration for the change, but in one of his daily COVID-19 pressers, Trump said he did not even know about the new policy.
Veteran observers will remember that it was President Obama’s FDA that ushered in a radical change for homosexual male blood donations in 2015, reducing the FDA policy from a de facto lifetime ban to a one-year deferral.
Now that one-year deferral becomes just three months and, predictably, neither the Log Cabin Republicans nor any other LGBTQueer lobby group is satisfied. All are demanding no deferral time on “MSM” blood donations at all, in the name of “equality” and “ending discrimination.”
The FDA change requires a post-coronavirus review. The FDA’s special policy is made necessary by the high-risk sexual behaviors engaged in by “men who have sex with men”–behaviors that have historically made homosexual men vastly disproportionately affected by STDs, especially HIV, compared to the rest of the population. AFTAH will examine this rushed policy liberalization in depth in coming posts.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org
Repeal effort underway as concerned parents mobilize
Say No to Planned Parenthood “SeXXX Ed”: Pro-family Washington State citizens descend on the capitol building in Olympia to voice their strong objection to Senate Bill 5395, the “comprehensive SeXXX ed bill,” on March 2, 2020. In late March, the bill was signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee (D). An effort is underway to repeal it by referendum; see this “Informed Parents of Washington” Facebook page. Photo: Mary Locke.

Dear AFTAH Readers:
The “progressive,” pro-LGBTQ, “comprehensive sex education” agenda is harmful to the very children it purports to help and protect. On March 27, Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee (D) signed into law Senate Bill 5395, which critics have labeled the “Comprehensive “SeXXX Ed” Bill, and which has generated some of the largest protests ever seen in the capital, Olympia (see photo above).
Two openly homosexual, pro-Planned Parenthood Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Claire Wilson and Speaker Laurie Jinkins, were key sponsors of the bill, which was passed in partisan, Democrat-led votes over the objections of tens of thousands of concerned Washington citizens. Here is an excellent piece on Senate Bill 5395 by Seattle conservative talk show host Todd Herman, who occasionally subs for Rush Limbaugh.
A growing coalition of citizens has formed to fight SB 5395, led mostly by outraged moms and dads, and grandparents who cannot believe what “comprehensive,” “age-appropriate” sex-ed means to the the “progressives” who dominate sexual ed and diversity programs in Washington (and across the country). See the “Informed Parents of Washington” Facebook page HERE.
Pro-family advocate Mary Locke, a MassResistance activist who has done yeoman’s work alerting others to the leftist educational extremism in her state, wrote this letter to her local newspaper, the Federal Way Mirror; as of press time it had yet to be printed.
Parents across the nation are waking up to the threat of radical sex-ed agendas and pro-LGBTQueer indoctrination in schools. Hopefully it is not too late to turn this around and restore common sense and respect for time-tested morality. Take Action: Go HERE to learn more about the referendum to repeal SB 5395. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

Children Are on the Front Lines of a Raging Culture War
By Mary Locke
Thanks a lot, Washington state DEMOCRATS! You handed the pornographic sexxx ed bill 5395 to Governor Jay Inslee. This was a party line vote.
No Republican voted to mandate Seattle-style sexxx ed.
Homosexuals Claire Wilson, Democrat State Senator/30th district and House Speaker and Democrat Laurie Jinkins have now MANDATED their warped sense of sexuality on the public-school children of Washington State.
Wilson, Jinkins and all the Democrat leaders of this state need to take off their rainbow-colored goggles and look at the potential damage they have just set in motion.
Wilson and Speaker Jinkins and all Democrats get copious amounts of campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. Planned Parenthood is also the biggest beneficiary of “their bill,” 5395 sexxx ed.
Planned Parenthood is mentioned over 50 times in the Sexxx ed curriculum’s “FLASH and KNOW.”
Follow the money.
Planned Parenthood donates to Democrats. Democrats pass a radical sexxx ed law. Planned Parenthood then gets a steady stream of customers.
The approved curriculum promotes fornication and homosexuality, therefore children are told they need birth control and abortions. And Planned Parenthood is right there for the kids.
So, children grades K-12, will have to navigate the sexxx ed grooming that has been approved. Linda Harvey summarized this cultural struggle: “Children are on the front lines of a raging culture war.” Traditional Christians are losing the battle.
