So parents, beware. First...

Back in the mid-1980s, there was a highly successful ad campaign that ran for about a dozen years. Promoted and sponsored by the American Dairy Board, the campaign featured the tagline, “Milk: It Does A Body Good,” and it stressed how milk was necessary for strong bones, healthy joints, and attractive body. Then, in 1993, another national campaign was started by MilkPep (Milk Processor Education Program) that initiated the “Got Milk” Phrase. That later expanded to include celebrities who appeared with milk mustaches. Aaahh, the good old days. Even if you weren’t much of a milk drinker, and by then...

On Friday, political commentator Robby Starbuck released “The War On Children,” a feature-length documentary about the Left’s attempt to “sexualize” and “indoctrinate” children via, among other things, social media. “There’s a war on our children right now. Far left activists will stop at nothing to indoctrinate them, sexualize them, guilt them and punish them until they submit to their woke religion,” Starbuck wrote in his announcement post on X. “For too long the dots haven’t been connected to expose their battle plan. This film exposes EVERYTHING.” The documentary features interviews with notable voices who have spoken out on the sexualization...

I assume that given the title, you as the reader understand that the story covered herein is terribly distressing, but I want to iterate the point for the sake of propriety; I also want to stress that the people boxed in by the “progressive” left as the “religious right” deserve a huge and groveling apology. We told them so, and to be frank, I’m really sick of this dance with the “progressive” left. We take on the mantle of the long-sufferer, speaking softly and using little words as we try to coax them into being halfway decent (or at the...

An 11-year-old trans child has been named the youngest grand marshal of the Orlando Pride parade. On Saturday, Dempsey Jara rode as the grand marshal at Orlando’s Come Out With Pride Festival, making Jara the youngest to do so in the Pride event’s 18-year history. …

A syphilis epidemic has broken out in the US and clinics say its a struggle to get antibiotics. The antibiotic treatment for the sexually transmitted disease is running low across the United States while the number of infections has risen to high levels. This has prompted dozens of public health groups to ask the White House to intervene.

Germany’s top professional association on sexuality and partnership, Pro Familia, is lobbying the government to force daycare centers to implement “body exploration rooms” and “sexual games” for young children.The issue was first reported by news outlet BILD who revealed that parents were sent an e-mail from an Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO) daycare center in the Hanover region which presented a list of ten rules explaining how children in the “body exploration room” would be encouraged to “pet and examine” themselves and other children.“All children, especially preschoolers, are aware of the places in the facility where nudity and body exploration can take place,”...

For years I’ve been sounding the alarm about an impending social, cultural, and spiritual crisis, and for years critics have compared me to Chicken Little, discounting my warnings as the ravings of a hysterical, religious fundamentalist. Well, it’s a little late for that now.

Sullivan, recounting the history of LGBTQ activism, wrote, “Then the queers upped the ante and did something we gays never did: they targeted children. If they could get into kids’ minds, bodies and souls from the very beginning of their lives, they could abolish the sex binary from the ground up.

The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus last week released a music video titled, "A Message From the Gay Community." The video begins with one singer introducing the tune by saying, "As we celebrate Pride and progress we've made over these past years, there's still work to be done. So to those of you out there who are still working against equal rights, we have a message for you." With that he begins to sing over a lone piano: You think we're sinfulYou fight against our rightsYou say we all lead lives you can't respectBut you're just frightenedYou think that we'll...

The Drag March in Manhattan's East Village featured topless women and plenty of drag performers chanting "We're coming for your children." A clip from Timcast of the event, the chanting, and the festivities went viral on social media, infuriating many who value childhood innocence. In response, NBC defended the chant, saying that it was just for fun, and is a way for LGBTQIA+ people to "own" the slurs that have been leveled against them. "We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children," they sang to each other. NBC asserted that the drag marchers were saying "We're here, we're queer,...

Not only did Andy Stanley participate in a private, shocking Q&A where he offered some heretical hot takes on homosexuality, but for years one of his children’s ministries has been promoting and partnering with pro-LBGTQ+ organizations. Debbie Causey is a long-tenured pastrix at North Point Community Church and the director of their Care network of ministries. Years ago, after her son came out as gay, she wrote the book The Big Reveal: Loving Your LGBTQ+ Child While Strengthening Your Faith, which details her experiences handling her son’s revelations. The book is filled with bad theology and sly innuendo. Watch as...

Megyn Kelly is joined by Glenn Greenwald, host of Rumble’s System Update, to discuss the raunchy nudity at this year’s Pride parades, the LGBTQ activist community’s push related to children, and more.

It’s easy for conservatives to think of the LGBT activist crowd as constantly crying wolf over pronouns and “deadnames,” but when self-described “queer” people try to describe who they are and what they do, pay attention. A prime example of this principle occurred just this week: participants in New York City’s annual Pride Parade chanted, “We’re coming for your children.”

Today is the last day of 'Pride Month' and it has been a doozy. Between corporate blunders, new laws and Supreme Court rulings, America has been on a wild ride. Twitchy favorite, @lone_rides (Dr. StrangeTweet) was kind enough to wrap it all up for Twitter. As Pride month draws to a close, I want to thank each and every person who made Pride so toxic that only pedophiles will ever want to be involved again. — Dr Strangetweet Or How I Learned To Love The RT (@lone_rides) June 30, 2023 You might want to grab your favorite beverage and a...

Students as young as eight years old are set to be taught about the nuances of being transgender in schools in Massachusetts - thanks to a proposed revision to the state's health and physical education framework. The new proposal is being pushed by the state's governor, and serves as the first update to the state public school curriculum since 1999. Now, five years in the making, it does not require any state approval to be passed. As to its contents, the draft includes a set of new guidelines for teachers of kids as young as four - who would learn...

A pair of academics affiliated with York University believe that allowing parents to opt out their children from drag storytime events is a “dangerous setback for 2SLGBTQ+ human rights education.” Writing in the Toronto Star, Beyhan Farhadi, a fellow at York’s Institute for Research on Digital Literacies, and “community educator”/York M.Ed student Joy Henderson say the Toronto School Board’s decision to allow opt-outs from the “family-friendly” activity “sends a message that [queer] rights are debatable.”

Drag queens and LGBTQ activists marched through a Manhattan park on Friday as part of a weekend of Pride celebrations, with a chant of: 'We're here, we're queer and we're coming for your children.'

The New York Drag march participants feel powerful enough to say the quiet part out loud. I won’t lie: things in America are bad right now because the left owns the federal government and has achieved ascendency across American institutions. However, the great thing about people who no longer feel they need to look over their shoulders is that they also no longer feel the need to dissimulate about who they are and what they want. Nowhere is this more true than in the area of so-called “transgenderism.” They haven’t just come out of the closet; they’ve achieved the heights...
