Three Decades of LGBTQueer Indoctrination of Children: “Heather Has Two Mommies,” a “children’s” picture book that promoted lesbian parenting, was first published in 1989.
Folks, here is a link (listen online HERE) to my radio interview today (Nov. 1, 2021) with my friend Jim Schneider on VCY America’s “Crosstalk.” As I tweeted HERE, long before CRT (the Marxist, anti-white “Critical Race Theory”) began penetrating school systems, homosexual and “transgender” activists were busy indoctrinating kids in schools. Back then, just as now, teachers took on the subversive role of leftist “change agents” as they taught an immoral ideology that redefines aberrant sex as normal. (The book ‘Heather Has Two Mommies,” came out 32 yrs ago!) Here is a direct link to the audio: https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/vcyamerica/sermons/111212123207368/
And here a link to the interview on the Crosstalk site, followed by the show description:
Peter LaBarbera is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.
From media to education to politics to corporate America, the LGBTQ+ agenda continues to invade our society. It’s all about normalizing that which is abnormal as mere tolerance is no longer acceptable. Children in particular are being targeted by this agenda as it makes a direct attack upon God’s Word.
You’ll find this to be true as you review this edition of Crosstalk and hear Peter LaBarbera as he comments on various news stories that highlight the latest efforts by the LGBTQ+ movement.
Here’s a sample of stories dealt with on this broadcast:
Some states have elections tomorrow. In Virginia, former Governor Terry McAuliffe had an interview with The Blade. He called Glenn Youngkin, the Republican candidate, the “most homophobic” and most “anti-choice candidate” in the history of Virginia.
Peter noted that what’s important about this race is that Youngkin began to pick up momentum when the controversy over the Loudoun County school board’s radical transgender policies contributed to a sexual assault. The situation involves a boy pretending to be a girl who allegedly assaulted a biological girl in a restroom.
U.S.A. Today is reporting that LGBTQ candidates are seeking office in record numbers this election year, advancing a “sea-change” in the political landscape. At least 410 LGBTQ candidates ran or are running for office in 2021, a 7% increase over the last odd-number election year of 2019.
According to the Washington Blade, the Democratic National Committee has a new LGBTQ liaison. Sam Alleman worked at Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
Dear Readers, I tweeted out the following after Twitter reinstated my account Friday (9/24/21) after suspending it for alleged “hate” three days earlier. Here is a link to my appeal letter, and HERE is the AFTAH story on the original suspension.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH; @PeterLaBarbera
Back on Twitter. Suspension lifted following my appeal (see link below). It says a lot about certain cowardly (pro-)#LGBTQ “Morality-Phobes” that their first inclination when they see a viewpoint they don’t like is to file a “report” to Twitter: #Leftismhttps://t.co/cDKJpOkQqEpic.twitter.com/KTqsaGDUfm
Twitter’s Version of “Hate”: Above graphic shows tweet that led to Peter LaBarbera’s Twitter suspension. It simply makes the point that Muslims following Sharia Law treat homosexuals harsher than Christians.
____________________________
Update: Twitter reinstated LaBarbera’s account on Friday, Sept. 24.

I sent the following letter 9-22-21 to appeal Twitter’s suspension of my account on Sept. 21, 2021. My Twitter page, now listing me with zero followers, can be found at: twitter.com/PeterLaBarbera.–Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth
I am appealing my suspension (9-21-21) for alleged “hateful conduct.” On 9-20, I sent out an innocuous and accurate tweet pointing out that it is radical, Sharia-enforcing Muslims (in Islamic states) that are killing homosexuals, not Christians. This was in reply to a sardonic tweet urging me to go to a country with “Sharia Law and stuff,” because I oppose homosexuality as immoral. The sad truth is that although Christians are often falsely accused of “hate” towards homosexuals because of their biblical and moral beliefs, it is fundamentalist Islamic states like Iran where homosexuals have suffered under the most draconian punishments, including death by hanging and stoning.
I refer you to Pages 5 and 56-58 in the U.S. State Department’s 2020 Human Rights report on Iran (https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IRAN-2020-HUMAN-RIGHTS-REPORT.pdf), which documents that the death penalty and other severe punishments have been carried out against homosexuals, and justified by Iran’s foreign minister.
My tweet in no way “promoted violence” or hatred against homosexuals. In fact, I was simply pointing to the irony that while American Christians are often demonized for alleged cruelty towards gays, actual violence in the form of harsh punishments against homosexuals actually occurs in hardline Islamic states.
I appeal this unjust suspension and ask you to restore my account in good standing. I challenge you to view my Twitter feed, where I routinely engage civilly with LGBTQ-identified critics like [LGBTQ writer and activist] Dan Savage (@fakedansavage). Even though they strongly disagree with me on sexual morality, we are able to dialogue back-and-forth, even poking fun at one another. I thought that was the original vision of Jack Dorsey and Twitter. Thank you for considering this appeal.–@PeterLaBarbera
I just posted this on Gettr and Gab, two alternatives to Twitter, which suspended my account for an innocuous and accurate tweet. (My Twitter page now shows zero followers.) We’ll see how my appeal goes, but given Twitter’s hard-Left bias against conservatives, I don’t expect to be reinstated.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH
Yesterday (9-21-21) I was suspended by Twitter for this completely accurate and innocuous tweet. After 12+ years being very active on the platform, my followers were wiped out. I was responding to a lefty named George, who had snidely tweeted that I should join a “Sharia Law” country because I oppose homosexuality. I will appeal although, having been harassed and shadow-banned by Twitter going way back, I don’t expect to be reinstated. My response follows: “Sorry George. Radical (#ShariaLaw -enforcing) Muslims hang homosexuals or throw them off of buildings. Radical Christians pray for them to follow #JesusChrist and leave sinful homosexuality behind, as so many #exgays have.”
Below is the full email suspension notice sent to LaBarbera by Twitter on September 21, 2021:
Now “more reasonable” than USA, says Family Research Council
This is a 2008 photo shot of a young woman who had her healthy breasts removed to appear like a man, marching in a “Transgender Pride” parade in Northhampton, MA. It was shot by Mass Resistance, a leading group opposing LGBTQ activism.
Reason on the subject of gender transition for minors is increasingly prevailing on the international scene. With Finland’s recent move to cut back on the practice, multiple countries in Europe, including Great Britain and Sweden, now recognize that performing potentially irreversible procedures on children that transform their endocrine systems and remove healthy sexual organs should not be the go-to intervention for treating psychological dissonance over one’s biological sex.
In taking this positive step toward protecting the physical integrity of children suffering from gender dysphoria, Finland last year amended their national health care policy and issued new guidelines to end the wide-spread availability of interventions on those who are under 18 (a translation of the guidelines was just finished earlier this month). After reviewing the research on pediatric transgender medicine, Finnish authorities determined that the scientific evidence did not support medical intervention, and rather, psychotherapy should be the first treatment used with minors.
Folks, I appeared September 1, 2021 on VCY America “Crosstalk” with my friend and host Jim Schneider [click to listen HERE], to discuss various LGBTQ-agenda stories. We talked about: Netflix’s propagandistic “documentary,’ “Pray Away” [see my in-depth LifeSiteNews articles on this manipulative film HERE (Part 1) and HERE (Part 2)]; Joe Biden’s “thorough commitment” to the “trans” and LGBTQ agendas; and the CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) ridiculously “woke” speech code (I guess we can’t say “expectant mom” anymore!). The Left is nuts, they dominate the Democrat Party, and they’re dragging America down, so keep on fighting for truth. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

The Centers for Disease Control come out with preferred terms for select population groups.
The Netflix propaganda documentary called Pray Away focuses on ex-gays that became prominent Christian leaders and now have fallen back to the sin of their old lifestyle.

These sellouts went from Christian moral “truth” advocates to LGBTQ activist cheerleaders who deny ex-“gay” change
Team Traitor: “Ex-Ex-Gay” activist Randy Thomas as he appears on Netflix’s jaundiced, pro-LGBTQ documentary, “Pray Away.” As a VP for the now-defunct “ex-gay” ministry Exodus International, Thomas once defended Judeo-Christian sexual morality and fought efforts to legalize same-sex “marriage.” Now he supports the radical LGBTQ (“queer”) lobby and homosexuality-inclusive “christianity,” and attacks the idea of ex-gay change. See Part One of Peter LaBarbera’s LifeSite piece on Pray Away HERE. See Part Two HERE. Above is a screenshot taken from “Pray Away.”
Memo from AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera:
My new series in the pro-family news site LifeSiteNews analyzes the biased Netflix “documentary” “Pray Away,” featuring several “ex-ex-gays” who now shill for out-and-proud homosexuality. I expose the sad and treacherous history of these fallen “ex-gay” (and in reality, ex-faithfully Christian) leaders, several of whom I worked alongside in their former roles opposing the homosexual movement:
Yvette Cantu Schneider
John Paulk
Randy Thomas
Alan Chambers
Julie Rodgers
All of the above people once played a prominent role in the Christian conservative, pro-family movement opposing the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) lobby. And ALL have now defected to become supporters of that sexual sin movement. That has earned them “starring” roles in “Pray Away,” which attacks ministries aimed at helping people overcome unwanted homosexual desires. See Part One of my LifeSiteNews piece, “Netflix Documentary ‘Pray Away’ Selectively Edits to Demonize Ex-Gay Change, by clicking HERE. You can read Part Two of the LifeSite series HERE.
The following (July 1, 2021) video produced by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus touched off an avalanche of outrage across America with its sneering, satirical taunt, “We’ll convert your children”–which SFGMC claimed was merely “tongue-in-cheek humor.” After the “Message from the Gay Community” was roundly condemned by various leading conservatives, SFGMC first took down the video, then republished along with a response to critics–while also disabling it so it could not be reposted on other sites. The full lyrics are beneath the video; this is our we’ll have much more to say about this.–Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH
Verbatim transcript of San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus video:
Troy Iwata talking: “As we celebrate pride and the progress we’ve made over these past years, there’s still work to be done. So to those of you out there who are still working against equal rights, we have a message for you [he starts singing]:
