VIDEO: ‘Detransitioner’ Chloe Cole’s Nashville Speech: Calls Pro-Trans-Surgery Doctors and Therapists ‘Butchers and Liars’

“I fell victim to the idea that I was actually a boy trapped within a girl’s body.”

The following is “detransitioner” Chloe Cole’s speech at the Daily Wire-sponsored ““Rally to End Child Mutilation” rally in Nashville October 21, 2022. I was deeply moved by this speech, and which everyone could hear it. As if this young woman wasn’t already brave enough, as she spoke she was heckled by crazed, pro-trans protesters trying to drown out her and other speakers by yelling things like “[F–k] you, Fascist.” (Like fascists and communists everywhere throughout history, American leftists routinely try to shout down, or shut down, speech they do not like.) This rally at the state capitol was part of a GOP-led effort in Tennessee to ban so-called “gender affirming transition care”–mutilations masquerading as trans “surgeries” and cross-sex “hormone therapy”–for minors.

Many thanks to culture warrior Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire for organizing this event. — Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.news; Twitter: @Peter LaBarbera

Video: Ex-‘Gay’ Doug Mainwaring on the Quiet Rise of LGBTQ Influence in Christian and Conservative Circles

Folks, this is an important presentation by my good friend Doug Mainwaring, who is as brave and principled a pro-family advocate as I’ve ever known. Doug, who is ex-“gay” and writes for LifeSiteNews (where I once worked), has been a leading, albeit lonely, voice in urging the Right not to abandon the traditional, age-old conservative defense of Judeo-Christian morality. In this case, that means NOT latching on to a newfangled, libertarian brand of “conservatism” that not only tolerates, but celebrates homosexual unions–you know, the Republican ones (think Dave Rubin, Rick Grenell, Guy Benson, etc.)–ostensibly for political gain.

Last I checked, there was no “GOP exception” in Romans 1 and other passages of the Bible proscribing homosexual behavior as sinful. Moreover, among the many reasons to oppose legalized same-sex “marriage” (no matter what the courts rule) is that it provides a launching pad for the inevitable pleas to recognize “gay unions” in the Christian Church, always in the name of compassion. Normalizing sexual perversion is not and never will be a “conservative” value, nor a compassionate one. 

You can find links to many of Doug’s excellent LSN articles on his bio page, and the LifeSiteNews description of this video is at bottom. We’ll have much more to report on this issue.–Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.news; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera 

LifeSiteNews description of video:

The ascendancy of LGBT values into mainstream conservatism and Christian beliefs did not occur overnight. In his talk given at the Henkel Conference held in Nashville, TN from August 22-23, LifeSiteNews U.S. Bureau Chief Doug Mainwaring, a formerly pro-gay libertarian, talks about his personal conversion, the way the LGBT agenda has gained a strong foothold in politically-right communities, and the threats to children and families posed by this dynamic.

AUDIO: VCY America Interview with LaBarbera: An Avalanche of LGBTQ Activism, including Scooby-Doo’s Velma as Lesbian

Google helps celebrate “official” homosexual “coming out” of cartoon character, which Fox News reports on uncritically like the rest of the LGBTQueer-cheerleading media.

____________________________________________

Folks, this is my most recent interview with VCY America’s “Crosstalk” host Jim Schneider. Click HERE or the link below to play. The graphic above is an Oct. 7 screenshot showing Google’s celebration of the “official coming out” of Scooby-Doo character Velma as a lesbian: various LGBTQ “pride” (perversion) flags cascaded down the screen with a search of the word “Velma.”

See also this pro-homosexual Fox News web report on the now “officially gay” Velma. How sad that even Fox News is OK with the corruption of children’s moral innocence by the literal “programming” of kids’ minds to accept sexual immorality as normal and good. VCY’s description of the show is beneath the audio link.–Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.News; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

VCY’s Crosstalk show description:

Under the guise of LGBTQ+ activism, the calendar is being exploited again.  We’ve been through pride month, now it’s LGBTQ history month, while today has been declared National Coming Out Day.  With these days of recognition comes an avalanche of behaviors, legislation and other societal changes that are clearly unscriptural.   

Returning to Crosstalk for the latest news concerning LGBTQ activism was Peter LaBarbera.  Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.  Jim had Peter comment on the following news items.

• National “Coming Out” Day.  Originally this was about simply coming out as homosexual.  According to Peter, the significance is that this was a strategy.  Homosexual activists knew that the effect would be to reduce the opposition by making people less likely to speak out against homosexuality as well as redefining what’s considered normal.  The result is that all these years later it’s metastasized to include those “coming out” and identifying as being one of the many other perverse identities society now recognizes.

• An adult drag queen is identifying as a child.  So how can you prosecute someone who identifies as an 8 year old if they molest another 8 year old? 

• Congressman Mark Pocan of Wisconsin has introduced 2 pieces of legislation. One is H.R.9070.  This would establish within the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of American LGBTQ+ History and Culture.  It already has 64 co-sponsors.  He’s also introduced H.R.9071 that would establish a commission to study the potential creation of a national museum of LGBTQ+  history and culture.

• A homosexual couple in New York is suing the city government because under the city’s current insurance policy they don’t qualify for fertility treatments, yet they claim they have a right to parenthood even though their biology doesn’t allow for it.  As a result, they’ve filed a class action complaint against the city.  They claim that since both of them are male and biologically incapable of naturally procreating, that they meet the medical definition of being infertile and thus they’re entitled to insurance that will cover the cost of using a woman to have a baby for them.

• A judge has ruled that those in polyamorous relationships are entitled to the same legal protections as married couples. 

• The Scooby-Doo cartoon now presents Velma as a lesbian.

This is just a brief summary of points discussed during the early portion of the program.  There’s much more that’s examined, and as you’ll see, it’s all about normalizing perversion.  Jim and Peter present the evidence that proves why, on this Crosstalk broadcast.

Here Are the 47 House Republicans Who Joined 220 Unanimous Democrats to Vote for Homosexual ‘Marriage’ Bill H.B. 8404

Below are the 45 House Republicans who joined 220 Democrats in voting for the pro-homosexual “marriage” bill, named the “Respect for Marriage Act,” H.B. 8404, which passed the House July 19, 2022. Not a single Democrat voted against the bill, which pro-natural-marriage critics have dubbed the “Disrespect for Marriage Act.”

Here is the official bill summary; note how the sponsors added interracial marriage to the language, a not-too-subtle dig at social conservatives who overwhelmingly support marriages between man and woman, of any color or ethnicity, but who reject the modern LGBTQ/”progressive” notion that two people of the same sex can truly be “married.’ We will continue to add additional information about these lawmakers. — Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera; Gettr: @PeterLaBarbera / @Americans4Truth; TruthSocial: @PeterLaBarbera; AFTAH Facebook page: [click HERE]

Respect for Marriage Act

This bill provides statutory authority for same-sex and interracial marriages.

Specifically, the bill repeals and replaces provisions that define, for purposes of federal law, marriage as between a man and a woman and spouse as a person of the opposite sex with provisions that recognize any marriage that is valid under state law. (The Supreme Court held that the current provisions were unconstitutional in United States v. Windsor in 2013.)

The bill also repeals and replaces provisions that do not require states to recognize same-sex marriages from other states with provisions that prohibit the denial of full faith and credit or any right or claim relating to out-of-state marriages on the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin. (The Supreme Court held that state laws barring same-sex marriages were unconstitutional in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015; the Court held that state laws barring interracial marriages were unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia in 1967.) The bill allows the Department of Justice to bring a civil action and establishes a private right of action for violations.

Video: Bill Maher Issues Wake-up Call Regarding the Explosion of LGBTQ-Identified Young People

Warning: Some crude language

Please send this video far and wide. Bill Maher is a pro-LGBTQ, Trump-hating liberal, but he is honest enough to question the current fad (contagion?) of young people embracing LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer+) identities, especially those on the “trans” spectrum. The Gallup survey to which Maher is referring is HERE, and an AFTAH story (a radio interview on VCYAmerica) discussing it is HERE. –Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.News, Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

VIDEO: De-Transitioner Helena Kerschner Discusses Overcoming ‘Trans’ Identity and Ideology with Tucker Carlson

Folks, here is a clip from an upcoming “Tucker Carlson Originals” interview, courtesy The Post Millennial Clips’ Rumble page (originally published 4/15/22). This young, articulate woman, Helena Kerschner, is just one of thousands of “detransitioners” who have returned to sanity after descending into disordered and destructive identities rooted in “transgender” ideology (the “T” in “LGBTQ=). 

Here is Post Millennials’ description of the video:

Helena Kerschner tells Tucker Carlson about why she detransitioned and is now speaking out against pushing children to transition:

“I’m just really concerned for younger girls and boys being led down this path, and being hurt by it.”

Kershner has written a long account of her trials on her new Substack account. I am reading it carefully; you should, too. And remember: there would be no Big Trans without Big Gay. It’s all part of a sexual and social “revolution” (that’s the word LGBTQ historians use) against God and His wonderful, created order. — Peter LaBarbera, AmericansForTruth.New; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

History Channel Website Headline Says ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner Won 1976 Olympic Decathlon

From my Twitter account, reporting on the preposterous “1976” headline (shown above) on the History Channel website. Jenner “transitioned” to living as a pretend (“trans”) “woman” in 2015 [note female pronouns on his Wiki bio page]:

Dr. Michael Brown: By Hiring ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner, Fox News Shows It Does Not Deserve Christian Conservatives’ Trust

Folks, this is an outstanding and very important piece by my friend Dr. Michael Brown, who obviously values Truth (capital “T”) above Republican and even conservative politics. AmericansForTruth.News and this writer are atypical of conservatives in that we have have not shied away from criticizing Fox News and conservative VIPs when they stray from wholesome morality. On 2013, I wrote an in-depth report on Fox News’ pro-homosexual bias, for Cliff Kincaid’s America’s Survival, and it has only gotten worse since then; read my report HERE. — Peter LaBarbera, AFTAH.org; Twitter: @PeterLaBarbera

Christian conservatives: Do not put your trust in Fox News
Michael Brown on network hiring ‘Caitlyn’ Jenner: ‘It has lost its voice
and sold its soul’

By Dr. Michael Brown; published in WND.com 4/5/22

For those who have watched Fox News over the years, it is no surprise that they announced the hiring of Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner with great fanfare and hype. In the words of CEO Suzanne Scott, “Caitlyn’s story is an inspiration to us all. She is a trailblazer in the LGBTQ+ community, and her illustrious career spans a variety of fields that will be a tremendous asset for our audience.”

Perhaps these words could be used as an epitaph on Fox’s legacy. Mark the day carefully.

All the talking points are in order in Scott’s short, effusive statement: Jenner’s transition from Bruce to Caitlyn is “an inspiration to us all.” This famous biological male is “she.” And LGBTQ+ activism is something to celebrate. You go, girl!

Surely this is the death knell for Fox, even if it remains large and influential for decades to come. It has lost its voice and sold its soul. And with what moral authority can Fox call on Jenner to speak against “Lia” Thomas competing against women? Is this Fox’s new message? “Transitioning is fine and sex and gender are whatever you perceive them to be. Just play fair!”

But, to repeat, this should come as no surprise to those who have watched Fox over the years. Although some of the biggest names on the station were Catholic (such as Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity), it was clear that O’Reilly’s views were hardly Bible-based.

The same with Megyn Kelly and others, whose names I mention not to demonize them but simply to say, “They are hardly basing their worldview on the Scriptures.”

As for Hannity, as much as he identifies proudly as a Christian, he had no trouble having Jenner on as a guest last year, not to criticize him but to interview him as a California gubernatorial candidate.

To quote Jenner’s words during the interview, “For me as a trans woman, I think role models are extremely important for young people.”

What? Jenner a role model for young people?

The transitioning of young people is nothing less than child abuse. (More on this in a moment.) And Hannity didn’t object?

Jenner continued, “Trans issues people struggle with, big time. Our suicide rate is nine times higher than the general public. And for me to be a role model for them, to be out there, I am running for governor of the state of California. Who would have ever thunk that? We’ve never even had a woman
governor.”

So Jenner, already crowned “Woman of the Year” by Glamour, would be California’s first “woman governor.”
