MSNBC host Jen Psaki claimed the GOP was "trying to recruit" Muslims into being anti-transgender, although activists from the Islamic community have disputed the claim peddled by the liberal network of a "toxic agenda" they are being accused of joining and say it is an issue of religious freedom, not politics.

Years ago, after her son came out as gay, she wrote the book The Big Reveal: Loving Your LGBTQ+ Child While Strengthening Your Faith, which details her experiences handling her son’s revelations.

It’s easy for conservatives to think of the LGBT activist crowd as constantly crying wolf over pronouns and “deadnames,” but when self-described “queer” people try to describe who they are and what they do, pay attention. A prime example of this principle occurred just this week: participants in New York City’s annual Pride Parade chanted, “We’re coming for your children.”

Students as young as eight years old are set to be taught about the nuances of being transgender in schools in Massachusetts - thanks to a proposed revision to the state's health and physical education framework.

Leave the children alone!', Senator Hanson said, describing it as 'gender madness'.

During his tenure as president, Donald Trump adopted a tough on illegal immigration policy—largely via executive orders—that drew the constant ire of his critics. Border patrol agents intercepted many who crossed the southern border illegally, including youths. Often authorities separated such children from their families and placed them in crowded detention centers—run by those who failed to “systematically hold facilities accountable,” according to a recent report. It was not one of America’s finest moments, and it was a strange move for Republicans who allege to support fiscal responsibility and pro-family values. Yet these immigration policies do not appear to be...

A prison is a prison. That’s true whether it’s called a “family residential facility,” or a “rapid-processing center.” These facilities must be torn down, not renamed. I know what it’s like to be incarcerated as a child. I’m a Japanese-American who was born behind barbed wire, in the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center during World War II. When I was two years old, I was transferred to the Crystal City Family Internment Camp, run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service — the agency that evolved decades later into ICE. It is just a 20-minute drive away from Carrizo Springs and...
