Anti-LGBTQ+ parents now want ‘deprogrammers’ to turn their estranged kids conservative

A new trend seems to be all the rage for anti-LGBTQ+ parents, who have been increasingly touting the need to “deprogram” their progressive children and turn them conservative. A recent report from the New York Post features a group of mothers who say their children refuse to talk to them after being “indoctrinated” with “gender and race ideology” by progressive high schools and colleges. The article likens progressive values to being in a cult and details the mothers’ desire to find a “deprogrammer” to jolt their children back to reality. The mothers were inspired by another story from the New York Post, that of Annabella Rockwell, a pharmaceutical fortune […]

Deceased Pope Benedict’s legacy will harm LGBTQ+ people for decades to come

He served as Pope from 2005 until February 2013, when he became the first pope in six centuries to retire. At the time, he said, “After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry.” Some claimed that he left his position because of the rising tide of priestly sex abuse charges […]

Oklahoma Anti-Trans Bill Cites “Millstone” Scripture

The Mary Sue reports: State Senator David Bullard’s Senate Bill 129, also called the Millstone Act of 2023, says “a physician or other healthcare professional shall not provide gender transition procedures to any individual under twenty-six (26) years of age.” The bill would ban providers from referring trans adults to health care professionals, and any healthcare provider that offers “gender transition procedures” to trans adults from 18 to 25 would face a felony charge. Doctors, nurses, and clinicians are, of course, also barred from offering trans care to teens. Trans adults under 26 would either be unable to transition medically or have […]

,

On Tuesday, while the U.S. House of Representatives was in disarray due to Republicaninfighting, a lawmaker in Texas introduced his version of a “don’t say gay” law. State Rep. Jared Patterson’s bill, HB 1155, requires schools to disclose all information related to students’ mental health information to parents, which exposes children to being forced out of the closet by school officials and adds language to the state’s education code that would restrict the instruction of topics on sexual orientation and gender identity. “A school district, open-enrollment charter school, or district or charter school employee may not provide or allow a third party to provide […]
