California Senator Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, recently announced he is running for Congress in Nancy Pelosi’s district, as Pelosi confirmed she will not run in 2028. Senator Wiener could actually make voters beg for Nancy to run again. In 2019, Senator Wiener authored Senate Bill 145 which at the time of its introduction would allow a sex offender who lures a minor with the intent to commit a felony sex act, the ability to escape registering as a sex offender as long as the offender is within 10 years of age of the minor.

Makeup mogul Jeffree Star is blasting parents who push transgenderism on kids calling them “fucking weirdos.” The makeup icon, known for his outrageous personal style, spoke out on the issue during an appearance on The Skinny Confidential podcast. “Why are we encouraging our kids to be a different gender and feed them false information when they’re so young?” he said. “When I grew up and started looking different, my mother encouraged me to just be myself. When I started wearing makeup and being more feminine and wanting to do certain things… it wasn’t like ‘Oh my God, Jeffree needs, what...

Treatment Action Group (TAG) is profoundly disappointed and outraged at the lack of health care protections for people living with and affected by HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and hepatitis C (HCV) in the bill to end the U.S. government shutdown. With only a promise of a future vote to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits, millions of people now face unaffordable health insurance costs. As we approach World AIDS Day on December 1, we demand that legislators defend access and affordability of health care, especially for those with preexisting conditions. Several of the fiscal year 2026 appropriations bills, which...

WASHINGTON — A group of 17 transgender members of the Air Force are suing the U.S. government over what they say is the military’s unlawful revocation of their early retirement pensions and benefits. The lawsuit, filed in federal court Monday, comes several months after the Air Force confirmed that it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits. It is just the latest in a series of legal challenges to the Trump administration’s policies that have sought to push transgender troops...

When two dating apps, Blued and Finka, disappeared from the Apple AppStore in China on November 11, a whole world threatened to disappear. The apps are two of the most popular among China’s LGBT+ community. Blued had been downloaded tens of millions of times, according to the BBC. In taking them down, the authorities removed two major LGBT+ spaces, leaving little in their place. Apple said it removed the apps “based on an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China”. Evidence of hardening attitudes towards the LGBT+ community in China has been increasing for some time. Before targeting Blued and...

A teenage boy testified in Canadian court that his lesbian adoptive parents spent five years torturing him and his brother by forcing them to wear hockey helmets and wet suits for hours on end. The 13-year-old, identified only as J.L., is the prosecution's star witness in the ongoing murder trial of Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney, who are accused of killing J.L.'s older brother in 2022 by systematically starving him and leaving him soaking wet in their Toronto-area basement. The older brother, referred to as L.L., was found on December 21, 2022, in the couple's Burlington home lying on the...

Most school clubs just hold regular meetings where the students engage in whatever activity or subject they are focused on. The club is about socializing, fun, and self-development. GSAs purport to be just like other clubs, but they are vastly different. A major part of the GSA mission is to “create change” throughout the entire school. The goal is for every student and staff member to accept and support the LGBT agenda (including whatever new “identities” are concocted). And no one dares to openly dissent from the GSA message. The LGBT movement’s radical “change” push is designed to overlay the...

U.S. Catholic bishops voted Wednesday to make official a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender patients at Catholic hospitals. The step formalizes a yearslong process for the U.S. church to address transgender health care. From a Baltimore hotel ballroom, the bishops overwhelmingly approved revisions to their ethical and religious directives that guide the nation's thousands of Catholic health care institutions and providers.

Rapists will no longer be allowed to self-identify as women, Scotland’s top police officer has said in a major U-turn. Jo Farrell, the Police Scotland chief constable, said on Wednesday that her force would back a long-standing campaign to “accurately” record the sex of alleged rapists, instead of allowing a situation in which they could theoretically have been formally classified as women. Under Scottish law, only men can commit rape. However, the national force had previously said the sex of anyone who comes “into contact” with it, including suspects, would be based “on how they present or how they self-declare”....

Given their thoroughly documented proclivity toward violence, when mentally ill moonbats ram their transgenderism down other people’s throats, there is an implicit threat. Sometimes the threat is more explicit — even among schoolteachers. WSET reports from Danville, Virginia: A George Washington High School teacher has been placed on leave after [he] reposted a photo on [his] Instagram story. The photo shows a silhouette of a man with a rainbow gun pointed at the back of his head, with the caption “put the pronouns back in the email”. Speaking of pronouns, the media once again lies to our faces by using...

OMG. @listen2tish , the woman banned from Gold's Gym for confronting a convicted male domestic abuser who invaded the female locker room, GRILLS Democrat Scott Wiener on what he's going to do to protect women. HYMAN: "What would you say to women who are seeking assurance that their safety will be protected from men who, by California Law, can self-ID as women in women's only spaces?" WEINER: "We have trans people, both men and women, who are men and women... So if you're a trans woman-- are women." Democrats don't care about women.

A ban on transgender women competitors is strongly expected to be in place for the 2028 Olympics – but it remains unclear if there will be barriers against athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD) after the boxing furore at Paris 2024. Under the existing rules, each sport is empowered to decide if transgender women can compete if their testosterone levels fall below a designated threshold. But the International Olympic Committee, under new president Kirsty Coventry, is in discussions about a dramatic policy shift that would impose a blanket ban across all sports for the Los Angeles Games. Such a...

The pro-LGBT pastor is now under fire for blessing the ‘marriage’ of four men who showed up at a pop-up wedding fair at Berlin’s St. Paul the Apostle Church recently. Lena Müller, the 33-year-old clergyperson in question, posted a photo of the ceremony to Instagram. According to the Times, Müller said that the relationship “consisted of two Latvians, a Thai citizen and a fourth...

A Kennebunk, Maine, town official has stepped down from her liaison role with the local school board after facing backlash for suggesting that critics of a transgender athlete policy have "pedophilic tendencies." Vice Chair Leslie Trentalange, who serves on the Kennebunk Select Board, made the comments during an Oct. 20 Regional School Unit (RSU) 21 meeting that focused on the district’s transgender-student athlete policy. The policy, consistent with state law, allows students to join sports teams and use facilities matching their gender identity. Parents and community members across Maine have protested similar policies, arguing they violate Title IX protections Trentalange,...
