Free Republic

I assume that given the title, you as the reader understand that the story covered herein is terribly distressing, but I want to iterate the point for the sake of propriety; I also want to stress that the people boxed in by the “progressive” left as the “religious right” deserve a huge and groveling apology. We told them so, and to be frank, I’m really sick of this dance with the “progressive” left. We take on the mantle of the long-sufferer, speaking softly and using little words as we try to coax them into being halfway decent (or at the...

A California male nanny smirked as he was jailed for 707 years for molesting more than a dozen young boys in his care. Matthew Antonio Zakrzewski was convicted of sexually assaulting 16 boys aged two to 14, as well as showing another child pornography last month. The 34-year-old babysitter carried out the sordid campaign of abuse from 2014 until his arrest in May 2019. Many of his crimes were filmed and played in court. 'We watched you turn molestation into a game,' Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger told him on Friday. During his sentencing, the grandmother of one...

Virginia Democrat Danica Roem was projected to win her election Tuesday, according to Decision Desk HQ, becoming the commonwealth’s first openly transgender state senator and the first out transgender person elected to a state Senate anywhere in the South. Roem, 39, defeated former Fairfax County police detective Bill Woolf, a conservative Republican endorsed by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who vowed to bar transgender athletes from competing on school sports teams if elected.

I apologize for being gross, but it's necessary. You have to be shocked into recognizing the moral horror of what a part of the nation's largest teacher's union is doing. It is unspeakable, but we have to speak about it. The most effective work that the irreplaceable Christopher Rufo does is simply to get documents from institutions, and post them in full to the web, so ordinary people can see what kind of corrupt, racist or otherwise depraved people run these institutions. His latest is from the LGBTQ+ caucus of the National Education Association (NEA), the country's largest teachers union,...

Among the left-leaning critics attacking the surprise hit film "Sound of Freedom," about a man who quits his Department of Homeland Security job hunting pedophiles to rescue sex-trafficked children in Colombia, is a man who worked for a group that is leading efforts to recast pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons," or MAPs The person who wrote this Bloomberg opinion piece is leftist activist Noah Berlatsky @nberlat. He was the spokesperson for M.A.P. (minor-attracted person) advocacy group, Prostasia. Noah Berlatsky (LinkedIn photo) .... ...Berlasky "also wrote this essay about the autonomy of child sex workers. He said that most child trafficking...

Sullivan, recounting the history of LGBTQ activism, wrote, “Then the queers upped the ante and did something we gays never did: they targeted children. If they could get into kids’ minds, bodies and souls from the very beginning of their lives, they could abolish the sex binary from the ground up.

For some odd reason, a certain contingent of the population is trying to downplay how serious of a problem child sex trafficking has become. This is evident by the fact that many leftists have reacted negatively to Jim Caviezel’s new movie “Sound of Freedom.” The movie seems to have rattled many of them in a major way, which begs a serious question: Why? Why would anyone have a problem with Jim Caviezel bringing attention to something like this? We can only speculate on the answer to that question of course. However, here’s another question… Why did the DOJ suddenly remove...

“Children are being targeted and sold for sex in America every day.”—John Ryan, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Children, young girls—some as young as 9 years old—are being bought and sold for sex in America. The average age for a young woman being sold for sex is now 13 years old. This is America’s dirty little secret. Sex trafficking—especially when it comes to the buying and selling of young girls—has become big business in America, the fastest growing business in organized crime and the second most-lucrative commodity traded illegally after drugs and guns. As investigative journalist Amy Fine...

The National Association for Rational Sex Offense Laws (NARSOL) met in Houston for their annual conference, where they discussed eliminating what they deem “discriminatory” and “dehumanizing” sex offender registries, drawing praise from Mayor Sylvester Turner. NARSOL says they exist to advocate for the abolition of registries and to “discourage discrimination towards those accused or convicted of a criminal offense.” Their founder, who goes by the pseudonym “Alex Marbury,” was originally concerned with changing age of consent laws and has founded several LGBTQ activist groups. While the organization claims they have no stance regarding age of consent, they have a history...

'Thank you so much for sharing,' says a member of an online forum, discussing tips on how to create your own version of artificial intelligence 'chatbot' ChatGPT. Are there any plans to share your previous models?' It sounds innocent enough, but this is just one of dozens of dark web pedophile groups exchanging advice on how to build 'uncensored' chatbots that can produce reams of child porn. Chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence (AI) to interact with humans. They have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years, with users able to ask them to generate lengthy pieces of text,...

Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign team released a wild culture war ad on Friday taking aim at former President Trump as Pride Month ends, using clips from “American Psycho” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” to hammer home the Florida firebrand’s leadership on issues. “To wrap up ‘Pride Month,’ let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…” the DeSantis War Room tweeted with a compilation of clips showing Trump’s ties to the LGBTQ and transgender community. The video begins with a 2016 clip of Trump telling the Republican National Convention, “I will do everything...

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.”

The New York Drag march participants feel powerful enough to say the quiet part out loud. I won’t lie: things in America are bad right now because the left owns the federal government and has achieved ascendency across American institutions. However, the great thing about people who no longer feel they need to look over their shoulders is that they also no longer feel the need to dissimulate about who they are and what they want. Nowhere is this more true than in the area of so-called “transgenderism.” They haven’t just come out of the closet; they’ve achieved the heights...

Drag queens and LGBTQ activists marched through a Manhattan park on Friday as part of a weekend of Pride celebrations, with a chant of: 'We're here, we're queer and we're coming for your children.'

A couple of years back, the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus decided to stick it right back in the faces of all the parents who were claiming the LGBTQ community was coming for their children — by performing a song called, "We're Coming for Your Children." But not to groom them … rather, to teach them tolerance and acceptance. And how to hook up with adults on Grindr. And the word for when you're having both your testicles sucked by two people at the same time. Here's a link to the video if you can stomach it. On Friday, some...

When headlines popped up earlier this month that the Biden regime was using TikTok influencers to spread their propaganda about Ukraine, the vast majority of conservative news outlets used it as a punchline. Even on the left, some took jabs at it. SNL did a skit making fun of the White House move. But as much as the older, politically aware class of Americans might think of it as a desperate ploy or just a comical sign of the times, the Biden regime was actually making a brilliant move. Their actions were lacking; they’re just as oblivious to how TikTok...

'Milk’s taste in men veered toward boys.' The media is ‘mediaing’ again and confusing its leftist culture war beliefs with actual facts. Temecula school board president calls Harvey Milk ‘pedophile’ before book banning vote – CBS LA An ugly scene played out at the Temecula Valley School Board meeting as they voted 3-2 to reject an elementary school social studies book that contained information about pioneering California gay rights figure Harvey Milk. The board’s president made a baseless accusation that Milk was a pedophile before voting to ban the book. “My question is, why even mention a pedophile?” said Board...

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Has the LGBTQ+ et al movement hit a ceiling — and has it sowed the seeds of its decline? For the first time since Gallup began polling on the question of same-sex relationships, American public approval of their morality suffered a statistically significant decline, falling seven points to its lowest level in four years. And while that decline has a strong partisan flavor, it’s also falling among its traditional allies.First, the overall results show a sharp drop in support in the overall population:Americans’ views about the morality of a number of behaviors and practices are...

The Biden regime has devised a deceitful scheme to shut down citizen efforts to remove schoolbooks containing LGBT themes, obscenity, or explicit sexuality. How do they plan to accomplish this? The Department of Education’s (DoE) Office of Civil Rights is now monitoring book challenges across the country for “discriminatory” actions, specifically related to books with any “LGBTQI+” content. But here’s the problem with their plan: There is no federal law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender identity, queer identity, intersex identity, or plus identity. So, there is no solid basis for the DoE’s intervention in what should,...
