A Los Angeles high school’s “secrecy policy” kept a California couple in the dark about their only child’s gender identity, helped “sever” the family’s relationship — and ultimately drove the teen to suicide, his parents alleged. Dylan Parke was already struggling to fit in as a sophomore at Palisades Charter High School in Los Angeles in 2019-2020 when he told school staffers he would use she/her pronouns and go by the name “Aria,” as he transitioned into a woman. Parke had been diagnosed with depression, was in mental health treatment and “appeared easily influenced and preoccupied with how others perceived...

An Illinois school district honored a biological male in celebration of Women’s History Month on Thursday. Batavia Public School District 101 honored Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware, who claims to be a transgender woman, in a since-deleted Thursday Facebook post, a week after they honored astronaut Mae Jemison. McBride was involved in controversy over which restroom would be used after being first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2024. “Sarah McBride was born on August 9th, 1990, in Wilmington, Delaware. At a young age, she became interested in politics and government. McBride eventually ran for the...

When it comes to the queer bar in the wild, so many threats exist, and it's only gotten worse in the past few years. Higher upfront costs combined with lower foot traffic have caused a nationwide problem for the service and food industries, which is exacerbated in queer spaces, which deal with smaller demographics than the average bar or restaurant. And of course, there’s the fact that many people, especially younger people, just don’t go out or have a third space anymore.

Approximately 1,700 Kansans who claim to be another sex than they actually are have had their driver’s licenses revoked after a state law banning ID changes based on “gender identity” went into effect last month. “Kansas is one of five states to prohibit trans people from changing the gender marker on their licenses, but it is the first to pass a law that retroactively cancels licenses that were already changed,” NBC News reported. “The law also invalidated birth certificates for those who updated their gender markers.” Hundreds of people who claim to be transgender have already received letters from the...

'None of us need your hateful 'love,'' actors say on InstagramThe cast of Heated Rivalry are calling out bad behaviour by some of their fans. Actors Hudson Williams, who stars as one of the hockey players embroiled in a secret romance with a rival player, and Francois Arnaud, another player with a queer romance arc of his own, posted the same message on their Instagram accounts on Monday night, condemning hateful or disrespectful comments of any kind. "Don't call yourself a fan if you share racist/ homophobic/ biphobic/ misogynistic/ ageist/ ableist/ parasocial/ bigoted comments of any kind," it read. "None...

“Previous versions of the film reportedly showed Elio with a pink bike and had a scene where he imagines a life together with his male crush,” it reported. “The changes sparked backlash within the Pixar staff, drama that was compounded by Disney’s decision to cut a transgender character from Pixar’s animated series Win or Lose.” Docter’s comments garnered significant backlash online.

Major victories feel great, but they aren’t the same thing as winning a war. On Monday night, the Supreme Court reinstated an injunction that prevented “schools from ‘misleading’ parents about their children’s gender presentation at school and their social transitioning efforts.” A dozen years ago, that sentence wouldn’t have made any sense. But here’s what some parents today have faced when their children go to school. Whether from in-school indoctrination or social contagion, some students begin to believe their sex isn’t accurate. A boy claims to be a girl. A girl claims to be one of the dozens of genders...

A social media post from James Talarico about his “white skin” giving him “immunity” from the “virus of racism” has left the Democratic US Senate nominee from Texas wide open to attacks from Republicans and other pundits, who attacked his message as “peak woke” and openly racist. GOP Gov. Greg Abbott said the pro-Black Lives Matter post is proof that Talarico “is toast” in the Nov. 3 contest, in which Democrats are seeking to win one of Texas’ two US Senate seats for the first time since 1988. Talarico, a state legislator who triumphed over US Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas)...

TALARICO: "Our trans community needs abortion care too." This is the guy the Democrats think is going to flip Texas blue.

State Rep. James Talarico, the newly minted Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, claimed in 2021 that there were “six really common biological sexes” — not two. Talarico made the declaration during a debate in the Texas State Legislature over a measure sponsored by GOP state Rep. Cole Hefner to ban biological men who identify as transgender from participating in female sports in K-12 schools. “The bill seems to think there are two,” said Talarico, who has a master’s of education from Harvard University. “The one thing I want us to all be aware of, recognize, is that modern science...

Absolutely shocking and ultra-woke comments from the liberal media darling James Talarico, a Texas State Representative, have surfaced as he tries to become the first Democrat in more than 30 years to win in Texas. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Talarico upset Jasmine Crockett in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary race for US Senate. Talarico had 52% of the votes, scoring a rather large single-digit win over Crockett. Crockett predicted her loss late last night and blamed “cheating,” though she later conceded defeat and endorsed Talarico. Following his primary victory, X accounts dug up some fairly old videos of Talarico...

Each year on March 31, the world observes Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) to raise awareness about transgender people. It is a day to celebrate the lives and contributions of trans people, while also drawing attention to the disproportionate levels of poverty, discrimination, and violence the community faces compared to cisgender (non-transgender) people.

Two transgender men are suing Kansas over a new law that invalidated their driver’s licenses and those of about 1,700 others for reflecting people’s gender identities and not their sex assigned at birth, arguing that the measure is “dehumanizing”.

BREAKING: NY AG Letitia James has issued a letter to NYU Langone ORDERING them to resume the genital and chemical castration of CHILDREN after the hospital shut down its transgender youth program. This is how desperate Democrats are to mutilate your kids.

In one social media post, Wharton said he is going to kill Trump and wear his face “as a mask.” In another post, Wharton said he will assassinate President Trump. Investigators were able to link the Instagram and X accounts to Wharton and took him into custody in Everett, Washington.

Consistently, and even as recently as the State of the Union address, President Donald Trump has not minced words when speaking about issues that are obviously dangerous and destructive to America. How, then, is it possible that, with so many outlandish, persistent issues, ordinary folks seem to be missing the blatantly obvious? For example, why do everyday Americans listen to the twisted “logic” of the Woke mindset and not say, “What?! That doesn’t make sense?!” Think about the waywardness of woke thinking when it comes to addressing three extremely simple, straightforward ideas President Trump posited: 1. “There are two sexes.”...

The trans nonbinary suspect accused of shooting a US Border Patrol agent in New Hampshire on Sunday has been charged with attempted murder and assault of a federal officer. Blu Zeke Daly, 26, of Manchester, previously known as "Cullen Zeke Daly," reportedly pulled a vehicle up to a closed gate at the US-Canadian Pittsburgh Port of Entry and fired gunshots at a Border Patrol agent when approached.

A first-grade teacher in Nashville, Tennessee, claims that he was threatened with termination and reassigned to a new position after requesting religious accommodations to avoid reading books to children that promote same-sex marriage, which would have conflicted with his beliefs about marriage and sexuality. Eric Rivera is a devout Christian who taught first-grade students at KIPP Antioch College Prep Elementary School, according to a Wednesday statement from the First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit public interest law firm. KIPP is a public charter school that operates under the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission.
