Folks, I am honored to be speaking at the 2022 “God’s Voice” conference May-6-7 in Oklahoma City. This two-day conference is responding to the aggressive campaign by LGBTQ activists and “gay Christian” groups like REVOICE to push the Church to accept their distorted worldview. They are literally trying to redefine Christianity to accommodate immoral and disordered LGBTQ lifestyles and identities.
I was part of the original God’s Voice conference in 2020, and it was simply outstanding. I highly encourage you to attend this conference if you are able. Register HERE. Thanks to my good friend Stephen Black of First Stone Ministries for organizing this important educational event.
I can’t wait to attend and learn from our excellent speakers:
Dr. Everett Piper: “No Room for Christians: The Imago Dei and the New LGBTQ+ Religion”
David Pickup: “First They Came for the Books: LGBTQ+ Censorship Against Christians”
Michael Perkins: “Dangerous Affirmations of So-Called “LGBTQ+ Christianity”
Dr. Scott Lively: “The Legal Oppression of the Equality Act – LGBTQ+ Superiority”
Laura Leigh Stanlake (First Stone) & Denise Shick (Help4Families ministry): Support, Prayer, and Ministry for Those Affected by LGBTQ+ Tyranny
Rev. Al Baker: “What REVOICE Hath Wrought: LGBTQ+ Activism and the Future of the PCA, and the Church’s Challenge
Here (after the jump) is the schedule, followed by a description of God’s Voice and its genesis.
“Why do these adult activists so desperately want little children to learn all about homosexuality and gender deviance? Without parents present? That fits the definition of grooming.”
Be Your ‘True,’ Deviant Self? Leading homosexual-bisexual-transgender pressure organization Human Rights Campaign’s digital booklet, “Coming Out Authentically: Living as Bisexual+,” encourages youth to embrace aberrant and sinful identities in the name of “truth.” HRC is a leading opponent of the Florida pro-parental-rights-in-education bill just signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

‘Don’t Allow Grooming’ Bill Exposes ‘LGBTQ” Child Agenda
By Linda Harvey, reprinted by permission from MissionAmerica.com, March 30, 2022
There are times when many of us would really love to say, “We told you so.” Despite the mocking and scorn over the years, it turns out there actually is a “gay” agenda directed toward children– depraved and aggressive– and it’s now more obvious than ever.
The Florida Parental Rights Bill (HB 1557) reveals the crass, exploitative underbelly of “gay” activism and is a threat to the prize target of many wayward adults—vulnerable children.
This important bill recently signed by Governor Ron DeSantis protects children in kindergarten through third grade from homosexual and gender deviance indoctrination in lessons, books and so on. It also prohibits schools from withholding physical/mental health information from a parent.
The law makes perfect sense and my hope is that we can pass many such bills in other states. I wish lawmakers had extended it to all grade levels, but perhaps that seemed an unreachable goal. Yet the measure is a good start. It also helpfully elicited a furious reaction from the “LGBTQ” community.
The sexual anarchy lobby named the measure the “Don’t Say Gay” bill and even organized walkouts of mostly high school students, showing a limited understanding of what the bill does.
Human Rights Campaign, for instance, is already selling “Ok to Say Gay” T-shirts—but ironically, none in sizes for small children. Doesn’t HRC believe these “youth” should have the “right” to identify as “LGBTQ”? Or is that just for backroom discussions?
Once again, it’s all about the adults and their preferences/depravities, and child human shields are mostly unimportant, except for perhaps the hard-to-locate gender-confused 6-year-old, who will be sadly paraded as a literal poster child in upcoming court cases in the hope of overturning this bill.
Does the sustained outrage mean that Big Gay will now openly push small grade schoolers to identify as LGBTQ? There’s a term for that: grooming.
AFTAH Exclusive: then-leading homosexual activist Elizabeth Birch, also dished on Bill Clinton’s roaming hands
Folks, this stunning undercover AFTAH video I shot way back in1998 was first published in 2016, through LifeSiteNews (where it is now taken down because YouTube banned LifeSite’s account). If an astonishing 40 percent of Disney employees were “gay” almost a quarter of a century ago, as then-Disney-CEO Michael Eisner reportedly told Human Rights Campaign Executive Director Elizabeth Birch, imagine what the percentage of LGBTQ-affiliated employees is at Disney today!
Back then, Disney was only dipping its toes in pro-homosexual activism. Today, the once-wholesome corporation has joined the legion of radically pro-homosexual companies sold out to Big LGBTQ. Disney now crusades against a common-sense Florida parental rights measure recently signed into law by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (see the latter on with Tucker Carlson HERE, where they discuss a video exposing Disney staffers’ LGBTQ activism). Go to around the 1:00 mark in the video to hear how even Birch was shocked to learn that 40 percent of Disney’s employees were homosexual. Note also what Birch had to say about our libidinous former President, Bill Clinton. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera
This video comes courtesy of Illinois Family Institute, along with a terrific article by IFI’s Laurie Higgins. Illinois State Representative Tom Morrison is a good man, and certainly undeserving of this vicious smear by fellow State Rep. Kelly Cassidy. So many LGBTQ activists like Cassidy now view any opposition to their expansive and very radical agenda as “hate,” and then they rail against “hate speech”–and even support anti-“hate speech” laws like the one in Canada, which are inimical to America and our First Amendment. The transcript of Morrison’s floor speech is below the video. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org
Transcript of St. Rep. Tom Morrison’s floor speech:
For these past several weeks, we’ve been hearing facts about women’s history month, and I’m sure that we’ll hear more facts today and this week. When we hear those words, we think about our own mothers, wives, daughters, other notable women throughout history. We objectively know what a woman is, but it’s become increasingly common now to pretend that we don’t know. This is becoming George Orwell’s 1984. It’s Newspeak. It’s gaslighting. It’s activists pounding the table to declare that two plus two equals five. And that does not make it so. Demands that society accept lies as facts in the name of tolerance, inclusion, and justice is anything but. It’s not right, compassionate, or just. This past weekend, the NCAA allowed a man to become a national champion in women’s swimming. This action was months and years in the making, and it denied that rightful place of honor to actual female athletes, several of whom were denied being named All Americans because their place was taken by University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas. Anyone who thinks that fairness in sports competition is the only issue here is missing the point. Months ago, teammates of Lia Thomas complained to school officials that Thomas had exposed male nudity repeatedly in their locker room. This should have been a clearcut case of indecency and harassment, but university officials ignored the women’s concerns and discomfort. “Listen to women.” In this case, hardly. Parents in Los Alamitos, California last month sent their fifth-grade girls on a three-day overnight school science field trip. After the weekend concluded, the girls told their parents that three male counselors who identify as non-binary shared those cabin quarters with the girls for each of the nights. Schools in Illinois already have similar policies. And most parents don’t even know, nor will they be told by school officials, less they be accused of discrimination. In several states, including California, Washington State, and even here in Illinois, hundreds of male inmates, many of whom are serving time for sexual crimes or other crimes of violence are self-declaring as female or non-binary. And they’re getting a transfer to a women’s-only facility. There’s no requirement for surgery, no requirement for hormone therapy. Even if that did make the policy less bad, any sane person realizes how outrageous this is, but the practice continues and is expanding as more individuals realize what they can get away with. According to a press report, President Joe Biden is now reportedly planning or considering I should say an executive order modeled after the California law, which would allow federal inmates to self-identify their gender and choose between a male or female prison. Ideas have consequences. It is a minority of vocal activists who continue to push this ideology on all levels of society, including to young school children. It’s an ideology that is at war with reality, and we must stop blindly going along. We can and should be kind to individuals who suffer from gender dysphoria, but we can do so without completely and irrationally upending society, which is already happening at lightning speed. If we really believe in the protection of women and women’s rights, we must acknowledge the harms being done and bring a stop to this, including the silence and passive acceptance about what’s really going on. I imagine that here in this body, and perhaps beyond this chamber, there will be some who will try to condemn me and my words, but I’d like to close with these words by columnist Selwyn Duke: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” Thank you.
Folks, here is another terrific response by Christian conservative Allie Beth Stuckey to “homocon” (homosexual conservative) Dave Rubin’s announcement that he and his same-sex “husband” are acquiring two babies through surrogacy. [See Mark Dice’s video challenging “woke conservatives” like PragerU, Christopher Rufo and The Blaze for congratulating Rubin.]
Beyond the Rubin controversy, this is a stellar teaching video on Christian (and conservative) sexual morality that every person of faith–indeed, anyone working to “conserve” God’s wonderful, created order–would benefit from watching. Use this as a teaching tool for your children or grandchildren. I realize this is self-edited, but rarely are Christians this good at succinctly defending biblical morality and compassionate, “truth in love” outreach to wayward friends.
Kudos to Stuckey for her clarity of thought and for sticking to biblical principles in an age when that brings much condemnation from the self-righteous mob who have decided they know better than their Creator, if they even believe in Him. — Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.News; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera; Gettr (just starting on this): @PeterLaBarbera
Below is Stuckey’s information provided along with her YouTube video:
Homosexual conservative Dave Rubin (left) confirms dual surrogacy with “husband” David Janet on Twitter March 16, 2022.
Folks, I love this video by conservative activist and YouTuber Mark Dice. Here’s why:
Dice understands that if top “conservatives” like PragerU and Glenn Beck’s The Blaze [see the 6:00-minute mark above] have reached the point where they’re CONGRATULATING a homosexual man and his male lover (Dave Rubin and “husband”) for acquiring (buying) children through surrogacy–to create an intentionally motherless household–then there is no sellout too big for these compromised leaders.
He goes to the language, which has been utterly corrupted by LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) activists working hand-in-hand with their morally-corrupt “media” allies. How can any serious “conservative” say a man has a “husband”? (And so what if that’s currently “the law,” per Supreme Court dictate? So is abortion-on-demand since 1973 and conservatives don’t accept that as legitimate.)
Dice calls out the ongoing moral phoniness of Conservative Inc. Today the current outrage is transgender nonsense, but remember when the hill worth dying on was homosexual “marriage”?! Now so many on the Right have “moved on” from that cultural issue, and here we are seven years after Obergefell celebrating intentionally motherless homosexual-led households.
Lastly, Christian conservative Allie Beth Stuckey did produce a video on why she cannot congratulate Dave Rubin; also, see also Dice’s Twitter feed for his exchange with Matt Walsh.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH; (here’s my tweet echoing Dice on Rubin)
Gallup poll finds more than one in five Gen Z Americans identify as LGBTQ.
Here is the “Crosstalk” interview I did Monday with Jim Schneider of VCY America. You can listen on the Crosstalk site HERE or on Sermon Audio HERE.
Jim and I touched on a lot of issues–none more important than the surge in LGBT affiliation of Gen Z Americans, according to a new Gallup poll. Americans For Truth will have much more on the stunning poll numbers shown in the Gallup graphic above.
After a caller raised the issue, I discussed the mixed record of Donald Trump on homosexuality and LGBTQ issues. Although Trump reversed Obama-imposed policies pushing transgender activism, he also did more than any powerful Republican to normalize homosexual behavior (including same-sex “marriage”).
The following is Crosstalk’s description of our interview:

A Nation Heading Down the Wrong Path…LGBTQ+ Issues
– by vcyamerica
We are a world in conflict, not just in terms of nation against nation, but also in the realm of morality. Immorality is abounding and it’s also growing. That’s important because not only does the Bible foretell that at the Lord’s return things will be as they were in the days of Noah, where man did what was continually evil, it will also be as it was in the days of Lot (See Luke 17:26-30).
What are the trends showing that we’re headed in that direction? Joining Jim to discuss those was Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.
Here’s a selection of news items that Jim had Peter comment on:
A Gallop Poll from earlier this month indicates that the number of individuals in the U.S. identifying as LGBT is at 7.1%, up from 5.6% in 2020. Peter believes this is due to a mass propaganda effort. This shouldn’t be surprising when you see that children as young as four are being taught to question their gender identity.
The media “buzz” over Will Thomas, a biological male, now smashing records under the name of Lia Thomas while competing as a women’s swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Texas governor directed all his state agencies to consider transgender drugs and surgeries for minors as illegal child abuse.
Lincoln, Nebraska, passed an ordinance that recognizes all gender identities and at the same time they forbid any counseling of individuals about their same sex attractions or gender dysphoria.
A group of parents from a California elementary school were outraged when they discovered that a high school science camp allowed male counselors to sleep in the same room with 10 year old girls.
There are more LGBTQ+ individuals running for Congress in 2022 than ever before in the history of the U.S.
This list will be regularly updated and is not comprehensive. Some groups and websites below do not oppose all aspects of the LGBTQ agenda (e.g., those that focus solely on countering Transgender activism):

CDC – Centers For Disease Control and Prevention – cdc.gov — Although the CDC is decidedly pro-LGBTQ in its “orientation” (e.g., it routinely blames societal “stigma” for disproportionate health risks among homosexuals), this federal agency nevertheless documents the high risks of LGBTQ behaviors, especially among men. A simple web (Google) search on “MSM” (men who have sex with men) and “YMSM” (young men who have sex with men) yields an abundance of papers detailing the extraordinary health risks associated with unnatural homosexual sexual behaviors.
