A lawmaker in Delaware has become the first openly transgender woman elected to Congress. Democrat Sarah McBride was the favorite to win the only congressional district in Delaware - which is traditionally a Democratic stronghold. Speaking tonight, Ms McBride said: 'Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that we are a fair-minded state where voters judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities.' The New York Times reported that Ms McBride believed her victory was a sign that she had earned the support of voters by leading efforts to improve their everyday economic lives through measures like paid family...

Kamala Harris has once again demonstrated that she lacks any sense of rationality and decency. In a tweet that defies logic, she celebrates “LGBTQI+ children” with a photo of her embracing a man—cross-dressed like a sex worker—at a “pride” event. This isn’t about inclusion—it’s a horrific display of moral bankruptcy. Imagine the Vice President of the United States endorsing such grotesque behavior, encouraging children to adopt lifestyles suited for adult strip clubs rather than becoming citizens who contribute to society. This isn’t progress—it’s madness. Harris and her cronies exemplify a dangerous trend where leaders push radical ideologies on our youth,...

High school students at a New York high school staged a massive walk-out protest this week in opposition to the district’s attempts to force them to share restrooms with the opposite gender, in the name of “transgender” acceptance.Breitbart reports that the Wappingers Central School District, which oversees John Jay High School and other campuses, is set to allow students to choose whichever restrooms they want to use, rather than assigning them on the basis of their actual gender.The protest consisted entirely of students who do not support the policy, with one student, Shauna Neilan, saying that “a bunch of people...

A trans female shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday had a 'Free Palestine' message written on her weapon, per a new report. The shooter has been identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, who previously used the name Jeffrey and has a lengthy criminal record, including assault, marijuana possession and forgery. The footage captured the horrifying seconds after the woman in a trench coat shot up the Houston megachurch of the celebrity pastor - before being killed by two off-duty cops. The suspect entered the building during a Spanish-language sermon with a five-year-old boy shortly before...

A Missouri high school has faced a backlash after crowning a transgender girl homecoming queen - beating four biologically female students. Tristan Young, 17, was voted the homecoming queen at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, following in the steps of Landon Patterson, a transgender who took the title in 2015. The school has been under fire after it shared photos of Young's crowning and celebrated her honor on social media. 'Another reminder to all girls that men make the best women,' Riley Gaines wrote on X, criticizing Young's crowning. Gaines is a former college swimmer against transgender...

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Artist Carmen Rose used to perform regularly in Malaysia, until a police raid last year put an end to the veteran drag queen's act and fuelled the fears of the LGBTQ community at a time when Islamists are rapidly gaining political clout. Since the raid, during which several party-goers were arrested, Rose has stopped doing shows, and rarely ventures out in public in costume. "It's always a risk going out in drag. If there was a raid, who do we call? Do we bring our boy clothes just in case?" said Rose, who declined to disclose...

REV. JOHN PIPER Theologian and Bible teacher John Piper recently shared what he says are "six biblical realities" showing why Christian parents shouldn't allow their kids to cross-dress, especially at church.In an episode of his podcast "Ask Pastor John" posted on the Desiring God website Monday, a listener asked about a family at her church that allows their son to wear dresses."They seem to let him choose most of what he wants to do," said the listener, identified only by the name Cindi. "We, of course, see a lot of danger in this parenting method. They were asked to leave...

Few culture battles have become more charged than the war over medical interventions for transgender children. And the issue, along with other progressive passions, is increasingly taking on religious overtones in the continuing effort to drown out dissenting voices. Erik McGregor/LightRocket via Getty Images The debate over transgender issues—and in particular, medical interventions for transgender children—continues to rage as one of the greatest battles in our nation’s current culture wars. Now Pres. Biden—in concert with trans-activists—has discovered an unlikely tool with the potential to upend this debate altogether: Religion. Indeed, the trans movement has vocally emerged as a new religion...

Parents are more worried about their sons’ futures than their daughters’. Boys have fallen far behind girls academically. Our school system increasingly favors female traits and doesn’t respect boys’ unique style of learning, which only leads to the expansion of the education gender gap. Research also now shows that boys are more at risk of struggling and falling behind because of remote learning during the COVID pandemic. Shouldn’t we be adequately preparing ALL children for the future? Scholarships and programs disproportionately favor girls. Research shows that 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women, when 58.6% of college students are...

A man who bludgeoned to death his fiancee with a metal bar after she wanted to leave him because of his cross-dressing has been jailed for 17 years. Roderick Deakin-White, 38, carried out the "horrendous and savage" attack on Amy Parsons, 35, while she was showering in the flat they shared in Whitechapel, east London. She was left naked and bleeding to death after suffering "horrific injuries" to her head, face and brain during the attack on April 25, a court heard. Deakin-White was found guilty of her murder by a jury on Tuesday November 19. Sentencing Deakin-White on Tuesday...

To hear college students and corporate consumer-product commercials tell it, gender fluidity is so normal, popular even, that they’re simply communicating these ideas as a way to reflect the new progressivism in America. Only that’s not exactly the case. Their ideas aren’t at all in sync with the rest of the country. Still, that doesn’t stop college students from talking about the “infinite” number of genders, or corporations from selling Sprite with a commercial about transgenderism and breast-binding to boot, minus any mention of the soft drink itself. A June 2019 Gallup poll reported Americans greatly overestimate the size of...

Come on boys, vogue! The youngest generation’s greater willingness to embrace nontraditional gender norms has opened up a new market within the beauty industry: men’s makeup. One-third of young men said they would consider wearing makeup, according to Morning Consult polling, while 23 percent of all men said the same. Founders of men’s cosmetic brands credit the increased interest among young men not only to a wider acceptance of the idea that gender is fluid but also to the pressure to be picture perfect at any moment, thanks to social media. “The stigma associated with buying and purchasing this product...

DALLAS, Texas, November 28, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – A six-year-old Texas boy is being dressed and presented as a girl by his mother; at the same time, she is threatening the boy’s father legally for not going along with her plan for their son to live as a girl.

You’ve likely seen him on social media, and now, the famous 11-year-old drag queen is gracing the airwaves of popular daytime television show “Good Morning America.” In yet another indication that cross-dressing and the LGBT lifestyle are beyond normalized in our culture, “Desmond is Amazing,” was a guest on the long-running ABC morning show, where he was surprised by some of America’s most famous drag queens. LGBT Nation reports:

A Minnesota man felt so comfortable the first time he put on a skirt that he started thinking about why there weren’t more people making skirts for men. In the end, he started making them himself. Joe Quarion first put on a skirt in 2013, for an ultimate Frisbee match. Team captains would occasionally come up with silly dress-up themes for the players, and this time it was skirts or dresses. Joe put on a skirt he had bought from second-hand store Savers and headed on to the field. It was suppose to be a goofy experience, but he realized...

Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are young Brooklyn parents of the new middle class in “A Kid Like Jake”: progressive, acutely involved with their child’s development and a little self-congratulatory about how not self-congratulatory they are. As their 4-year-old, Jake, nears school age, they talk the talk about wanting to support public education, but also about wanting the best for their smart kid. Jake is more than just smart. As Judy (Octavia Spencer), a family friend who also supervises Jake’s preschool, points out, he enjoys “gender-expansive play.” When Alex and Greg refuse to allow him to dress up...

Somehow, the sexualization of children is just fine if it falls in line with the LGBT community guidelines of “openness” and “tolerance” toward what they deem is progressive. Case in point, a drag show joint is opening up in New York City that caters exclusively to children, and somehow no adults are allowed. According to Daily Mail, the club is being opened by ten year old Desmond Napoles of Brooklyn, who also goes by the name “Desmond is Amazing.” His mother told “Out” that he is an LGBT activist, even at his young age. He has also apparently “come out,”...

A program that aims to give young children “unabashedly queer role models” is making its way across the U.S. via various public libraries. “Who wants to be a drag queen when they grow up?” an adult male dressed in drag asks a group of children at the Brooklyn Public Library during a recent installment of Drag Queen Story Hour. “Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like — drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores,” the initiative’s website states. “DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives...
