No one believes Satan has prophets, but he does, this is what they are telling us to believe, but worst of all, this is exactly what we are doing. When the prophet Micah began preaching to Israel about their political, social, and economic decline, they accused him of blasphemy, and there are those who would be more than glad to have put him to death. The Golden Age of Israel was at its peak during Micah’s time, and to say that it was going to end suddenly, completely, to the people it sounded like deep blasphemy. They wouldn’t hear of...

I just wanted to make this a bit of a heartfelt rant and I will give the link later. Some of you probably know a homosexual who was dismissed from the now-defunct Christian music group "Avalon" has re-released one of their songs. He says it celebrates his homosexual lifestyle. Disappointing enough, but not surprising. What has really prompted my post today is my exceeding disappointment in five women who have blessed my walk with their music: Point of Grace, a trio of singers. Nichole Nordeman, a solo artist. Kim Hill, a musician from the 80s and 90s. All five of...

One of TV’s longest-running children's shows is facing backlash for once again linking its puppets to homosexuality on social media. Sesame Street shared a post on social media Tuesday, which read: “Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street! Join us in celebrating and uplifting the [gay and lesbian] members of our community.” The post also included an image featuring different rainbow-colored furs resembling puppet characters from Sesame Street, such as Elmo, Cookie Monster and others. Primarily geared toward toddlers, the series, (which moved in 2015 from PBS to HBO, and in 2025) was acquired by Netflix — drew the ire of...

Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is shaping up to be the biggest movie of the year, and right-wing voices are furious at it. “Chris Nolan desecrated the Odyssey,” wrote Elon Musk on X. Musk, alongside hundreds of right-wing culture warriors algorithmically boosted on his platform, have spent the past few weeks fuming over the news that Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o is playing Helen of Troy, and that transgender actor Elliot Page might be playing Achilles. One right-wing influencer described the casting of Page as Achilles as “the final straw to ruin Homer.” Another pundit, in a post that received...

Ocean Drive was filled with [homosexuals parading] as the Miami Beach Pride Parade marked its 18th anniversary. Despite new legislation limiting local government support for diversity, inclusion, and equity (DIE) initiatives, this...

Every six months, approximately 130,000 Russian conscripts are called up for their year of service, where most of them will face sadistic hazing. In Russian, it’s called dedovshchina, a brutal internal army regime that began in Soviet times but is thoroughly embedded in modern military culture. Western militaries have worked hard to reduce bullying and hazing in the ranks with some, but not complete, success. But in Russia’s army, dedovshchina is a unique cultural staple and a formative part of the military identity. Multiple sources, both those who served in Soviet times and those with experience in the modern Russian...

"The whole world is on the precipice of something much worse"Russell T. Davies has spoken about the state of LGBTQ+ rights in the world, believing the current political climate has fostered hostility toward the community. The writer, who created the pioneering ‘90s TV show Queer As Folk as well as 2021’s It’s A Sin, spoke at a Screen Talk at the BFI Flare Festival in London on Monday (March 23). He was promoting his new series Tip Toe, a drama about a bar owner in Manchester who becomes embroiled in a feud with his neighbour. Attitudes toward LGBTQ+ rights...

Joe Biden and his wife Jill ventured out in Santa Monica, Calif., amid his battle with cancer, Page Six is told. Spies spotted the former first couple at celeb favorite Giorgio Baldi with Scott Miller, the former Ambassador to Switzerland, and his husband, LGBTQ+ activist Tim Gill. Fellow diners told us that Joe — who was diagnosed in May 2025 with an aggressive form of stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones — was quiet for much of the dinner, but piped up to sing “Happy Birthday” to guests celebrating at a neighboring table. “Jill did most...

Sometimes, doing what you believe is right comes with a cost. For former National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) midfielder Elizabeth Eddy Biggs, she knew that long before she ever hit "post." Mrs. Biggs officially announced her retirement Tuesday after an 11-year professional career. "I'm deeply thankful to God, my family, friends, teammates, staff, coaches and fans for this wild, wonderful journey, both full of blessing and growth," Mrs. Biggs said in a video posted to her social media. (Video: https://x.com/elizabetheddy2/status/2036553794373210317) And, in a conversation with OutKick on Monday, she said she's at peace with how everything unfolded — even if...

A coalition of congressional Democrats unveiled a resolution titled the “Trans Bill of Rights” last week to push back against the “fear” and “hatred” propelled by those who believe that one’s sex corresponds to their biological sex. As written by Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., in a press release, the resolution aims to direct the federal government to expand transgender access to public “services” and “accommodations.” The bill language adds that it aims to ensure that “transgender and non-binary people” get “equal access” to “services and public accommodations that align with their gender identity. The bill also states that transgenders should...

A Texas judge who gained national attention for displaying a pride flag in her courtroom now faces felony charges after allegedly ordering a defense attorney handcuffed and held in a jury box. Bexar County Judge Rosie Speedlin Gonzalez turned herself in Thursday on charges of unlawful restraint and official oppression, the New York Post reported. The 60-year-old became the first openly LGBTQ judge elected in the county when she took office in 2019. “I’m a proud public servant, I’m LGBTQ, I own a gun, I’m bilingual, I’m an American citizen — and I have every right to defend myself,” Gonzalez...

In a social media announcement posted Wednesday, Tucson Pride’s Board of Directors said the organization has made the “difficult decision to close Tucson Pride as an organization" and therefore is also canceling the Tucson Pride Festival scheduled for Feb. 21, 2026. The Facebook post, attributed to the newly appointed board, said the decision came after “thoughtful discussion and careful consideration.” The statement thanked volunteers, sponsors, artists and activists and highlighted Tucson Pride’s role in the community “since 1977,” calling it a space of “visibility, advocacy, celebration, and resilience for nearly five decades.”

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin may not be the most liked player in the NHL, but he found a way to endear himself to a lot of the game's fans. On Saturday night, the Capitals and Florida Panthers faced off, with Washington holding its annual Pride Night before the game. (Cue the justified boos and eye rolls). That means that many players decided to put rainbow tape on their sticks as a show of support. But Ovechkin, and several others, decided not to. They skated onto the ice with their sticks looking normal as most reasonable people would do.

It was likely one of the last pieces of city policy passed that winter, just before the New Year, a parting gift from a progressive city council. On December 30, 1975, Minneapolis became the first city to adopt a trans-inclusive LGBTQ+ non-discrimination ordinance. Fifty years later, the United States still lacks similar protections on a federal level.

Two sisters are selling tickets for a party to raise money to enable their mother to commit suicide at a Swiss clinic. Jackie Baker, 59, wants to travel to the Dignitas euthanasia clinic after developing motor neurone disease in February. Her daughters Tara O'Reilly and Rose Baker are desperately trying to raise £8,000 so their mother can "die with dignity" in Switzerland. Hairdresser Tara, 40, is selling tickets for a girls night out with drag artist and playboy waiters to raise the funds for her mother. Tara said: "It's what she wants. We were very upset at the beginning but...

She wore the metallic, see-through design by Christian Cowan to Variety’s Power of Women event.

For the better part of a year, we've been reporting about Richard Cox, the Tier III registered child sex offender currently terrorizing women and girls in and around Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia. Cox has repeatedly exposed himself and engaged in lewd acts in locker rooms, and authorities have turned a blind eye because Cox "identifies" as a woman. Advertisement Back in September, we learned Cox, a registered child sex offender, had schedules for children's swim classes on his phone, presumably so he could be in the locker room before and after those classes took place. VA's Democratic gubernatorial...

FBI Director Kash Patel abruptly tossed out an agent in training on Wednesday for previously showing off a gay pride flag on his desk, according to a report. The trainee had displayed the emblem while serving in a field office in California last year during President Joe Biden's administration. Patel sent the trainee a signed letter dated October 1, claiming he had presented an improper 'political' message in the workplace while assigned in Golden State. The termination letter cited Donald Trump's constitutional power to fire bureaucrats serving in the executive branch. 'After reviewing the facts and circumstances and considering your...
