When you think of family-friendly, the last thing that comes to most people’s minds is a drag show. So, when the left tells you they are not coming to recruit America’s youth for their drag bandwagon, do not believe them.
According to drag performer Malaysia Ravor Black, “Children need to hear that encouragement” when it comes to identifying under the LGBT rainbow. And if you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.
Per Fox 8:
The Longue Vue House and Gardens were colored with rainbows Sunday (May 31) to kick off the annual LGBTQ celebration known as Pride Month.
Local performer Malaysia Ravor Black said these early experiences with the gay community are the most important foundation for acceptance later in life.
“There’s so much negativity going on in the world right now when it comes to LGBTQIA,” Black said. “Children need to hear that encouragement. Children need to hear that they matter. Children need to hear that everything in their life isn’t negative. It’s an opportunity to push them to be better adults and push them to be more inclusive of everything around them.”

Poland’s Catholic Bishops are warning a recent court ruling recognizing foreign gay marriages will undermine Poland’s constitution, which strictly forbids it.

The Trump administration was blocked by a federal appeals court from banning almost 30 transgender-identifying individuals from being able to serve in the United States military.
In a 2-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that 28 transgender individuals — who had filed a lawsuit when the Trump administration barred transgender individuals from serving in the military — are allowed to “continue serving while the case proceeds,” the New York Times reported.
While the court’s ruling “applies only to 28 plaintiffs,” the plaintiffs have called for the court “to extend the protection to all transgender troops,” according to the outlet.

Transgender athlete Becky Pepper-Jackson did very well last weekend at the West Virginia girls’ state track championships – maybe too well.
The Bridgeport High School sophomore placed first in the girls’ shot put and fourth in the girls’ discus in Class AAA at the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission’s (WVSSAC) state track and field championships, prompting the state attorney general’s offifice to notify the U.S. Supreme Court.
The problem? The student-athlete is the defendant in West Virginia v. BPJ, a case before the high court on whether state laws banning biological males from female scholastic sports violate the U.S. Constitution and Title IX, the federal ban on sex discrimination in education.
The American Civil Liberties Union has described the student as a middling athlete who poses no threat to competitive fairness in girls’ sports, a characterization disputed by West Virginia Solicitor General Michael R. Williams.
“As a high school sophomore, BPJ is not finishing ‘near the back of the pack,’ contra [the respondent’s brief], but is instead defeating every female – or nearly every female – in the State in these events,” he said in his letter to Supreme Court Clerk Scott Harris.
California has officially used the doctrine that a child can choose their sex to take that child away from their parents. California now wants to put the girl up for adoption after the mother lost custody of her daughter in a court ruling. It is presumed the adopting adults most agree to transition the girl to a boy if she chooses to. The girl was 15 at the time she was placed into state custody.
The girl is the daughter of a Ukrainian immigrant, Alexandra Lyaschenko, who herself is hiding in Florida to prevent the state of California from taking her son into custody as well. The state of California also wants to put her son in the foster care system because his mother refuses to allow him to transition to a girl.

Two New York Democrats running in a hotly contested congressional primary pledged federal funding for “Drag Story Hour” — as records show city and state taxpayers have paid nearly $700,000 to boost the program.
Incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman and his opponent, former city Comptroller Brad Lander, both told an LGBTQ Democratic club that they support dishing out federal money to subsidize the program, which invited drag queens into schools to read to young children.
“Unfortunately, the Majority does not allow funding from Members of Congress to support LGBTQIA+ programming,” Goldman wrote in on a questionnaire from the Jim Owles LGBT Liberal Democratic Club in response to a question about whether he had “hosted, funded or otherwise supported” a Drag Story Hour.

A San Francisco YMCA has implemented new rules after a trans-identified male was seen walking around naked in the locker room in front of women and children, as well as allegedly harassing female members.
New rules at the Stonestown Family YMCA stated that “Nudity should be discreet, limited, and brief.” The rule added, “Nudity is permitted only while actively showering. Members are expected to put clothing on or be covered during use of the space outside of showering,” per the Daily Mail.
The new rules continued, “Respect privacy and personal space. Please maintain appropriate distance from others, be mindful of personal space during times of undress, and demonstrate courtesy at all times.”

Bishop Athanasius Schneider has said that a Vatican Synod on Synodality report suggesting homosexual “relationships” may not be sinful echoes the serpent in the Garden of Eden and has “crossed the line from orthodoxy into heresy.”
In an interview with Vatican journalist Diane Montagna, Schneider commented on the final report of Study Group 9, published May 5 by the Holy See’s General Secretariat of the Synod. The document was put together by one of the ten study groups established by Pope Francis in February 2024 in the context of the Synod on Synodality. The report from Study Group 9, titled “Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for shared discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues,” suggested that homosexual “relationships” may not be sinful in themselves.
“In issuing the Final Report of Study Group No. 9, the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops has stooped to promoting the propaganda of a global sexual ideology that is being aggressively pushed in politics and the media worldwide,” Schneider told Montagna.

A postseason track meet in California began Saturday with a “Save Girls’ Sports” rally, taking place outside of the gates. Unfortunately, the event concluded in the same fashion that we’ve seen before, with a transgender athlete absolutely dominating the competition in multiple jumping events. The situation only adds fuel to the fire of the concern regarding protection for girls and women in female sports.
A lot of attention was drawn to the Yorba Linda-based CIF Southern Section Division 3 preliminaries prior to competition beginning as a result of protestors going against the California policy of permitting trans athletes to participate in female sports.

‘Allowing biological males into spaces designed for women raises serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and compliance under federal law,’ department leader says
The U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation into the supposedly women-only Smith College on Monday in response to a complaint alleging discrimination on “the basis of sex by admitting males who identify as women.”
“An all-women’s college loses all meaning if it is admitting biological males,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey stated in a news release.
“Allowing biological males into spaces designed for women raises serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and compliance under federal law. The Trump Administration will continue to uphold the law and fight to restore common sense,” Richey stated.
The department also sent a letter to Defending Education, a conservative watchdog group, informing it of the investigation.

Pro-life advocates have long warned about Planned Parenthood’s role in ending innocent lives through abortion, but now the threat has expanded. The abortion giant is not only ending lives in the present but it is advancing practices that may prevent future generations of children from ever being conceived.
How? By targeting minors with medical interventions that can lead to permanent sterility.
This is not speculation. It can be clearly seen in Planned Parenthood’s expanding involvement in providing so-called gender-transition services.
A review by Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee found that 14 Planned Parenthood regional reports – the regions that consistently publish comparable data – recorded a more than 40 percent increase in reported ‘gender-affirming care,’ visits, or services from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. Because Planned Parenthood’s national 2024-2025 annual report does not provide a national total for ‘gender-affirming care,’ CWALAC aggregated figures from regional reports that publish comparable data. Planned Parenthood’s national gender-care page lists estrogen and anti-androgen therapy, testosterone therapy, puberty blockers, surgery referrals, and transition support, while noting that not every health center offers every service.
“This is several years in a row now that this number has increased despite society for the most part turning its back and reversing course on a lot of this,” Macy Petty, a legislative strategist for CCA, told the Daily Wire. “Planned Parenthood has found a way to continue this harmful and destructive business.”

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she does not want to see authorities “monitoring” church services in her province in light of a new federal law that criminalizes religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible.
“I don’t want to see the police monitoring Sunday services!” Smith told a crowd of nearly 1,000 Christians and pastors over the weekend while speaking at the Alberta Christian Leadership Summit.
“Faith is to be expressed openly and carried into the public square.”
A host of Alberta and Canadian Christian politicians gathered with pastors of churches to talk about faith and its importance in society. Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) was there with a booth.
Smith was invited to be the main speaker at the event, which saw hundreds gather to share the importance of Christianity in public life and politics. Her speech touched on several issues, but she did speak out against the controversial Bill C-9.

At a fundraiser in early January, Nevada Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo outright admitted to donors he wasn’t the most inspiring candidate. “I am not enough of a motor—uh, a motivator—as a governor candidate to get them off the couch,” he said on a recording obtained by the Nevada Independent.
“We have a couple ballot initiatives we’re going to initiate in order to get voters out,” Gov. Lombardo reassured the room.
But the governor had a plan to fix it. “We have a couple ballot initiatives we’re going to initiate in order to get voters out,” he reassured the room. One measure would mandate photos IDs at the polls, a policy that targets racial minorities. The other initiative would tap into a newer but no less virulent strain of right-wing grievance: “The second thing we’re going to do is this thing called Men in Women’s Sports,” Lombardo said at another event last October, referring to a Nevada constitutional amendment he proposed earlier this year that would ban trans girls and women from playing on girls’ school sports teams.
“Yay!” a few listeners responded. “Yeah!”
“That’s going to get people out to vote,” the governor continued. “Because, just from the groans in the room, I think they’re going to support it.”

An Indiana school counselor who was fired after discussing the district’s policy regarding “gender identity” with a reporter was awarded a $195,000 payout as part of a lawsuit settlement.
Kathy McCord, who has been an educator for 37 years, was dismissed after the South Madison Community School Corporation unveiled the new policy in August 2021.
The policy said that counselors and other employees were required to use “names and pronouns for the student that do not correspond with his or her sex” upon request of that student, according to a Wednesday release from Alliance Defending Freedom.
The policy sometimes “required employees to hide the new names and pronouns from parents,” the legal advocacy group said.

(LifeSiteNews) — Two “non-binary“ leftist activists in Germany showed homosexual pornography to 14-year-old students during a school project week, according to a new report.
A high school in Schleife, Saxony, hosted a project week for students in the 9th grade (14 to 15 years of age) from March 16 to 20, during which two left-wing radicals were invited to lead the class.
According to a report by Junge Freiheit that caused political shockwaves in Germany, school Principal Jan Rehor sent “non-binary” activists to the class without any supervision. A girl from the class said, “The principal personally brought these people into the classroom and then left us alone with them.”
In a long and remarkably unpleasant hearing on Monday, the California legislature discussed a proposal to allocate $26 million in state funds to pay for pediatric transgender interventions. Legislators proudly declared their support for “trans” kids, and for the doctors who perform their procedures. But the joint session between two budget subcommittees, one from the Senate and one from the Assembly, had the opposite of the intended effect. The testimony made it remarkably clear that California is doing CPR on a dead fetish.
News coverage of the hearing focused on a second panel of witnesses, made up of pro-trans witnesses. But the first panel to testify, made up entirely of state lawyers and health care regulators, established a less-noticed theme. Facing repeated demands from the chair, Sen. Caroline Menjivar, to explain why they weren’t punishing the many hospitals and health care systems in the state that have stopped providing pediatric trans procedures following changes in federal policy, the state officials kept defaulting to the same answer.
After Jaden Ivey expressed opposition to the NBA’s promotion of “Pride Month” on the basis of his Christian faith, the Chicago Bulls immediately waived him. This means that after a 48-hour period, he will become a free agent who can try out for other teams. Lest anyone misattribute this cut to Ivey’s inability to play due to injuries, the Bulls made it abundantly clear they waived Ivey due to purported “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Nevertheless, the word “conduct” is misleading here because it implies some sort of egregious activity, like committing a felony or assaulting someone. But, as we all know, the NBA is perfectly fine with giving a pass to violent felons.
NBA guard Jaden Ivey was cut from the Chicago Bulls on Monday after he expressed the basic Christian belief that sexual immorality and pride are “unrighteousness.” In response, multiple professional athletes have come to Ivey’s defense by similarly standing firm on God’s word.
“They proclaim Pride Month. And the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.’ They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness,” Ivey said. According to The Athletic, the comments were a part of a series of livestreams Ivey hosted on his Instagram over the last week after he was ruled out for the remainder of the season due to knee pain. In these streams, he “spoke extensively on his religious beliefs.”
The U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) Civil Rights Division announced Monday that it is filing a Title IX sex-discrimination complaint against the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) for letting biological males into female school lockers and athletic competitions.
“These unfair, intentionally discriminatory practices violate the very core of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding,” said DOJ’s press release, which noted that Minnesota receives more than $3 billion in federal health and education assistance annually.
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democrat-led states are searching for ways to keep censoring counselor conversations about gender after a near-unanimous Supreme Court came down against viewpoint discrimination.
In an 8-1 ruling on Tuesday, the Supreme Court held Colorado’s so-called “conversion therapy” ban regulated Christian counselor Kaley Chiles’ speech based on viewpoint.
Twenty-three states, along with the District of Columbia, have laws like Colorado’s, according to the Movement Advance Project. Many are realizing the ruling could open them up to more legal challenges.
You don’t need to be a biologist to understand there is a physical difference between males and females. This is such a well-known fact that even cavemen understand this concept. The left, however, woke up one day and decided that there is no difference, despite reality proving otherwise. This is why the Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, as they have allowed boys to invade the female division of sports for far too long.
According to the New York Post:
The Department of Justice sued Minnesota on Monday for discriminating against female athletes by letting biological males compete against them and enter their bathrooms and locker rooms.
These asinine policies don’t just destroy the integrity of the game: They actively jeopardize women’s safety.
The suit, filed in Minnesota federal court, alleges that the state’s Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League have been implementing policies and practices that ignored “undeniable physiological differences between male and female athletes” in violation of Title IX.
To claim the state ignored “undeniable physiological differences” would be an understatement at this point.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon noted in the 45-page civil filing that the state also committed the violations while taking more than $3 billion in federal funding per year and agreeing to uphold nondiscriminatory policies.
“We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction.”
An illegal immigrant who identifies as transgender has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy inside a Manhattan bodega last year, but will not serve additional jail time beyond the six months already spent in custody.
According to the New York Post, Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian national, was admitted to Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday for charges of second-degree rape stemming from a February 2025 incident in East Harlem. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Contreras-Suarez was sentenced to six months behind bars.
As a result, Contreras-Suarez is expected to be released following formal sentencing on April 27. Federal immigration authorities may take Contreras-Suarez into custody at that time for potential deportation, though officials have not confirmed their plans.
House Democrats blocked legislation to establish a “Women’s History Museum” because of an amendment requiring the new institution to only honor real women, not gender-confused men.
“The Museum shall be dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States,” the bill states.
The legislation forbade the museum from depicting a “biological male as female.”
This drew the ire of members of the House Administration Committee, which considered the legislation yesterday, according to Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).

Them Before Us, a nonprofit organization seeking to protect children and defend their natural rights, has issued a report on how the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index encourages companies to mutilate children through transgender policies. No longer can companies claim ignorance.
HRC, a pro-LGBT advocacy organization, launched the Corporate Equality Index in 2002 to push ideological “LGBTQ+ inclusive policies” on businesses. Companies complete the index survey and submit documentation to prove their woke policies, including family healthcare coverage for transgender surgeries, restroom and dress code “inclusion,” and LGBT trainings for staff.
“HRC’s Corporate Equality Index is anti-child. No company should support it,” the report states.
