But while our attention is focused on President Donald Trump, Google, Charlottesville, Russia, impeachment, Jeffrey Epstein, the next elections, racism, a trade war with China, the #MeToo movement or something else, LGBTQ organizations are quietly going about their work dismantling ethical norms, making a mockery of education, ruining innocent people's lives and destroying children's innocence. If you think this is overstated, here are some examples:The LGBTQ Dismantling of Women's SportsLast month, a transgender weightlifter won multiple gold medals at the 2019 Pacific Games in Samoa.

You are bigots, sexists, and misogynists and I see right through...
