Hate Group: "Trans Indoctrination of Our Children"

AFA has a video to sell and a failed boycott requiring defibrillation.

I have two emails from American Family Association today. Both confirm the fact that AFA is properly designated an anti-LGBTQ hate group.

The subject of the first email reads: Trans Indoctrination of Our Children. The text of the email is designed to get people to purchase AFA's video; In His Image. Referring to some of the content:

There are also several videos that dig deeper into the science of gender and sexuality, the history of sex change, gender education, and "transmania" culture. You won't want to miss the extended testimonies of Stephen Black, Walt Heyer, Laura Perry, and Denise Shick –– who all appear in the film.

Hate Site: Biden Supports Genital Mutilation Surgery

President Biden will restore Obama era protections for LGBTQ people. The conservative Christians who effectively lost the election are displeased.

How are any of these warriors for the faith even remotely qualified to oppose the guidance of the nation's leading professional peer organization focused on pediatric medicine?

Thursday, the headline reads: Top Senate Democrat backs Biden plan to impose transgender sports, bathrooms. “Biden also supports 'full access' to genital-mutilating surgery to make people appear more like members of the opposite sex.”

Sometimes I am tempted to simply write “fuck you” and leave it at that. However, trans people in general and gender-diverse kids in particular need to know that they have the support of rational cisgender people. Transgender folks are a vital part of the LGBTQ community.

Once Again Brian S. Brown Does a Gimme $ to Overturn Marriage Equality

I have a new missive from Brian S. Brown leader of the anti-LGBTQ National Organization for Marriage. It is a money-beg titled: voters reject gay ‘marriage.’

That is inherently false. More than two-thirds of Americans support marriage equality (Gallup—June, 2020).

Mr. Brown goes on to paraphrase President Obama:

Former president Barack Obama said last week that Hispanic voters are increasingly supporting President Trump and Republicans because they reject Democrat positions on gay ‘marriage’ and abortion.

What President Obama said is:

But there are a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, you know, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees, undocumented workers in cages, they think that's less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion.

Brown is essentially accurate. However 70% of the demographic voted for Joe Biden. (72% for Sec. Clinton in 2016.) Brown continues with oblivious rhetoric:

Ben Shapiro's Transphobia Problem

According to Ben Shapiro on Wednesday, The Left’s Gender Theories Are Anti-Scientific Nonsense, but They’re Gaining Ground. He is responding to a tweet by Charles Blow that he did not like:

It is preposterous to assert that the overwhelming consensus of medical science is “anti-scientific.” It is equally absurd to assign a political ideology to medical science. Gender incongruence does not have a political preference. Nor does medical science regarding its treatment.

In every human culture—indeed, in every mammalian species—meaningful distinctions between male and female remain. To reduce children to genderless unicorns simply awaiting hormonal guidance from within piles absurdity upon absurdity.

And, of course, Blow’s take on “patience” is not limitless. Presumably, should your daughter announce that she is a boy at the tender age of five, all measures will immediately be taken to ensure that she is treated as a boy by those such as Blow. There will be no call for watchful waiting; to do so would be yet another act of “violence.”

Are you fucking kidding me?

Heritage Foundation's Fred Lucas

“Free and fair elections are at the very core of our democracy. Attacking their credibility is to attack that democracy.”

Fred Lucas is one of those cranks with White House credentials who should not have White House credentials. He covers the White House for Daily Signal which is not a media outlet. It is the blog of the Heritage Foundation.

Tuesday, Mr. Lucas has written: 4 Takeaways From Arizona’s Election Fraud Hearing. As most of you know, this was not a hearing. It was a meeting of Republican crackpots with crackpots from the general public at a hotel conference room. No one was under oath and it was — obviously — not an official legislative event.

Furthermore, Arizona has certified the results of the election. Here are the four takeaways which I have subjected to a generous drivelectomy:

The Anti-LGBTQ Christian Crackpots Are Effectively Self-Marginalizing

“… other, more moderate, believers will remember the spectacular stupidity of these cretins.”

I have two emails from Bill Johnson of American Decency Association. The first of these I received Monday evening. It is titled: !!Alert Alert Alert!!. It reads, in part:

We need EVERYONE in the state to show up at the MI State Capitol at 9am tomorrow, Dec 1st.

This may be our last stand! Michigan Senate is meeting at 10 am and trying to stop an evidentiary hearing and the House will meet at 1:30 pm.

This is not a drill. This is the most critical moment we may have ever faced in our state. Our country needs us. We must ALL BE THERE.

Now is the hour. The time where your country calls you to act. This is our battle cry! This is OUR country!

Anti-LGBTQ Christian Nationalist Election Wizard

Eddie Hyatt | via YouTube

Eddie Hyatt pitched a fit in February when Walmart issued new vests to employees which included a rainbow symbol. He advised employees not to wear the vest. That advice was objectively stupid.

Monday, Hyatt, a Christian nationalist, is claiming that Donald Trump could still prevail: Why the Electoral Vote Could Be Key to a Second Term for Trump. His persistence is perhaps explained by his prior prophecy that Trump would win.

Terribly confused or a liar? You decide.

Some of you just said to yourselves that Mr. Hyatt is confused and a liar.

The American media has declared Joe Biden the president-elect on the basis of the popular vote. However, the U.S. Constitution gives clear guidelines for choosing the president of the United States and neither the media nor a popular vote is mentioned. It is the Electoral College that chooses the U.S. president.
