NEW YORK, May 19 (C-Fam) The Biden administration is pressing countries to adopt homosexual marriage as a human right. This new development comes during the latest cycles of the UN’s Universal Periodic Review. U.S. officials called on the government of Serbia to “legalize same-sex unions” last week during the latest round of the process where governments criticize each other on questions of human rights.

In yet another blow to the radical left’s attempts to mangle the language of Cervantes, the capital of one of South America’s largest countries has said schools can no longer teach bastardized, woke Spanish. Buenos Aires City Hall recently announced it was banning the use of so-called inclusive Spanish in the city’s schools.

The treatment of the 55-year-old father of four who believes that sex is biological and not a matter of personal preference raises questions about the chilling effect that pro-LGBT policies of government agencies have on freedom of speech, especially when it comes to Christians.

Burger King is scrapping its 40-year-old “Have It Your Way” slogan in favor of the more personal “Be Your Way.” […] Burger King says in a statement that the new motto is intended to remind people that “they can and should live how they want anytime. It’s ok(ay) to not be perfect … Self-expression is most important and it’s our differences that make us individuals instead of robots.” It may seem odd for a fast-food company to champion individuality, but Burger King isn't the only one trying to project a hip, non-corporate attitude to gain favor with customers. Since 2012,...
