San Diego Union-Tribune Smears Chula Vista Residents as a "Hate Group"

Chula Vista Residents as "Hate Group"

Mr. Hernandez (Email --- david.hernandez@utsandiego.com)
                          (Twitter: @D4VIDHernandez)

My name is Arthur Schaper, and I am the Organization Director for MassResistance.

We are the international pro-family group that makes the difference. We set up the press conference at the Chula Vista Main Library on Thursday, August 29, 2019.

We had men and women of all backgrounds, and they were all Chula Vista residents aside from myself.

I read this part of your commentary in one of the articles you wrote about our press conference:

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/south-county/story/2019-08-30/drag-queen-storytime-moved-to-larger-space-to-accommodate-expected-attendance

As with other similar events across the country, the storytime caught the attention of MassResistance, an anti-LGBTQ organization. The Southern Poverty Law Center has described MassResistance as a hate group.



Are you not aware that the Southern Poverty Law Center is a discredited hate group in and of itself and has been thoroughly discredited?

1. Its co-founder, Morris Dees, was fired for fostering a workplace filled with racism and sexism. He engaged in frequent acts of sexual misconduct against female employees, too.

2. The president of the Organization, Richard Cohen, was forced to resign as well for overlooking and enabling the workplace culture which shut out minorities and women. So did the SPLC legal director Rhonda Brownstein.

3. Former employee Bob Moser (himself politically liberal and openly gay) denounced the culture of hatred and dishonor within the organization, and patently admitted in his article in the New Yorker that the SPLC is not really interested in fighting so-called "hate groups", as much as merely engaging in smears against any group whose views they simply do not like. That is not a digilent organization of any measure, and therefore should not be quoted or referenced.

Brian Camenker

 4. Regarding MassResistance specifically, it is quite offensive for you to refer to this organization as a "hate group." Our founder, President Brian Camenker, is an orthodox Jew who suffered discrimination himself as a youth in Duluth, Minnesota. We have Orthodox Jewish communities in New Jersey and New York, as well as communities of many ethnic backgrounds who work with us. How can you possibly reference such individuals as "a hate group"?

Maajid Nawaz


5. For the record, the SPLC is facing at least six lawsuits for libel, and they were forced to pay a $3.8 million settlement to reformist Muslim Maajid Nawaz for smearing him as an "anti-Muslim" extremist. The SPLC had to issue an official apology, as well. That you would reference an organization which has such anti-Muslim and even anti-Semitic leanings is quite disturbing,

6. Marc Potok, another former employee of the SPLC, openly admitted that their express interest is to smear conservative groups, nothing more. They have no interest in stopping hate, but rather perpetuating it.

7. The SPLC has applied the "hate group" label to every pro-family organization they can. It's a joke. Here is a list of other groups and organizations which have been labeled "hate groups" by the SPLC:

The Family Research Council
The Alliance Defending Freedom
The American Family Association
The American Freedom Alliance
Family Watch International
World Congress of Families

It's completely meaningless and nonsensical.

In short, Mr. Hernandez, your remarks and references to the SPLC that MassResistance is a hate group are libelous. To call a group of committed Chula Vista residents "a hate group" is striking in its lack of professionalism. Mothers and fathers who care about children and their communities does not constitute "hate".

The San Diego Union-Tribue
Thinks These Loving people are "a hate group". Really?!



Furthermore, are you even daring to allege that a black pastor, himself a pillar in the community, Pastor Dennis Hodges, is a hater too? Such writing is completely uncalled for.

That reference to the Southern Poverty Law Center must be removed. It is libelous, inflammatory, devoid of any fact or basis in truth, and completely unprofessional.

Readers in the San Diego area deserve better than this kind of shoddy journalism.

I expect to hear back from you that this matter has been resolved.

Full Press Statement: MassResistance Demands That Chula Vista Must Shut Down Drag Queen Story Hour




Good Afternoon, Chula Vista:

My name is Arthur Schaper. I am the Organization Director for MassResistance. We are the international pro-family group that makes the difference. Since 1993, we have been fighting the pro-family fight with conviction and fully confrontation. Whereas many pro-family groups have sought accommodation and compromise, we have learned through trial and error that fully exposing and confronting the LGBT Agenda and all of its issues is the only way to fight effectively for faith, family, and freedom.



Last month, our organization received a number of calls and complaints about this upcoming Drag Queen Story Hour at the Otay Ranch Branch of the Chula Vista Library.
To be clear, Drag Queen Story Hour is not innocent fun to celebrate play while teaching diversity and tolerance.

The truth is that this program has a clear-cut, perverse agenda. On its own website, Drag Queen Story Hour clear states:

“DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.”

Gender Fluidity is a false concept. There is male. There is female. There is no biological evidence whatsoever to suggest that there is anything beyond two sexes.

Furthermore, this concept of “queer role models” is deeply troubling.

Drag queens are adult entertainers, impure yet simple. The whole drag culture is associated, saturated in illicit, sexually explicit adult themes. The drug use and sexual promiscuity associated with drag entertainment has no business being around children.

To be frank, what does promoting drag queen entertainment really have to do with teaching tolerance, acceptance, or diversity? If adult entertainers want to engage in these behaviors, they can do so freely in the nightclubs and cabarets – but not around children. There is no place for this.



Let’s be more clear about this matter, however: homosexuality, transgenderism, and other sexual behaviors associated with the LGBT agenda are not behaviors which should be promoted to children, especially children as young as 3 years old. These are destructive behaviors which witness a high incidence of disease, dysfunction and death.

Yet putting aside this matter, let’s confront some of the talking points promoted by the drag queens themselves.

1.       First, the claim that drag queens are just cartoon characters, clowns. If that’s the case, then why not have real clowns or cartoon characters read stories to children, as opposed to adult entertainers from night clubs? Where does this stop? What’s to prevent strippers, pole dancers, or porn star story our next?

2.       Second, drag queens have argued that there is no push from this agenda to make kids into drag queens. That is a total lie. In Ames, Iowa, in Delaware County Ohio, and in other locations, this drag queen program explicitly directs children to come up with their own “Drag names.” In Henderson, Nevada, one of the drag queens handed out a tutu to have a boy put on, as well. In Ames, Iowa, children were handing dollars to drag queen performers. One drag queen cut off a child in his audience and said “You can be a drag queen super hero.”



3.       The third lie is that “Drag entertainers pose no threat to these children.” That is a total lie. One drag queen admitted in an opening hearing “This will be the grooming of the next generation.” Our MassResistance team in Houston Texas uncovered not one, but two sex offenders reading to children in the Houston, Texas drag queen story hour. No background checks were conducted. One of the offenders had assaulted an eight-year-old boy. The other had molested four children! In Austin Texas, we learned that the drag queen there had been convicted of male prostitution. These people are not role models. We should have role models, men and women who contribute to our communities in a healthy manner.

4.       The final point that is often made is that no one is forcing their children to attend this program. “If you don’t like Drag Queen story hour, then don’t take your children.” Here’s the problem. We are not talking about preferential differences in hobbies. We are not talking about a quaint reading time. We are talking about sexual perversion being pushed onto children. Everyone of us has a duty to stand up to this immoral nonsense. Parental rights are not absolute, and use of public funds is not limitless. Taxpayer dollars should not be funding this trash, and public facilities should not be hosting these perverse programs, either.



Working with churches, leaders, and outraged citizens throughout San Diego County, and specifically in Chula Vista, MassResistance has launched a full court press to demand that the library cancel this perverse, misguided program at the Otay Ranch branch of the Chula Vista Library.

Despite numerous calls and contacts with the library staff, managers, and with city council members, we have received no information about the two drag queens Raquelita and Barbie Q. We do not know their real names. No background checks have been conducted. The city library commission and the city council have cancelled all their meetings and will not meet with the public to justify this terrible decision. There is so much secrecy around this whole program.

These efforts have been more than impressive. Men and women of all backgrounds have stepped up and declared that they have had enough of this agenda being forced onto innocent children.
Once again, on behalf of the growing number of outraged parents and citizens in Chula Vista and throughout the country, MassResistance is demanding this drag queen story hour program in the local library system be canceled for good.

Another victory: Texas city stops "Drag Queen Story Hour" after MassResistance Pressure

Another victory: Texas city stops "Drag Queen Story Hour" after MassResistance pressure

City Council discontinues all library room rentals

Council also votes to require background checks for people presenting to children in library

Months of phone calls, emails by local citizens made the difference!

August 25, 2019
MassResistance notches another victory in the battle against “Drag Queens” targeting young children in public libraries!
ALT TEXTThis was the local TV station's report in Leander, Texas, the day after the City Council vote!
On August 15, The Leander, Texas, City Council voted 5-2 to stop renting out their public library meeting rooms to outside organizations. The Council also voted 6-1 to require background checks for guest presenters for programs in the library involving children 17 and younger. By all accounts, these policy changes will completely stop the “Drag Queen Story Hour” events in the public library.
ALT TEXTThe Leander City Council votes on the new library policy.
Both of these moves are a direct result of Texas MassResistance activismtargeting the “Drag Queen Story Hour” events at the Leander Public Library this year - a story which ultimately made national news.
Here’s how it happened:

1. Public library sponsors Drag Queen event – until MassResistance gets involved!

As we reported earlier local residents in Leander, a suburb of Austin, contacted MassResistance asking for help. They were outraged that the Leander Public Library was sponsoring a Drag Queen Story Hour, to take place on June 15.
Our Houston MassResistance chapter helped the Leander parents organize and leaflet the community. Soon the Mayor and City Council were flooded with phone calls and emails from angry citizens.
Then Houston MassResistance released a revolting 57-page exposé of the “Drag Queen” who was to be reading to the children at the Public Library event. The social media photos shown in the report are repulsive and pornographic. One could easily see this is definitely not a person you would want teaching anything to young children.
ALT TEXTThis is the "Drag Queen" that library officials and LGBT activists invited to read to children in their library - exposed by MassResistance.
The City Council quickly reacted to the outrage and decided that the public librarycould not be the sponsors of the Drag Queen event! Two of the City Council members even contacted MassResistance to cover for themselves, blaming the previous City Council members for scheduling the event!

2. Library lets local pro-LGBT church rent the room so Drag Queen event to go on

But as we subsequently reported, this was a short-lived victory. Unfortunately. the local library policies had been changed about a year ago to allow community use of the library building by churches and political organizations.  This allowed a local LGBTQ-affirming church to step in and rent the library room, so the Drag Queen Story Hour could still take place on June 15.
Texas MassResistance announced it would protest the event along with Leander parents and other groups outside the library that day. Almost immediately, the Antifa chapter in nearby Austin announced they were also coming – presumably to harass and intimidate the pro-family protesters.

3. The Left begins to cave in

Texas MassResistance made it clear that they weren’t afraid of the Antifa threats. The Leander police also announced that they intended to protect the pro-family protesters from any possible violence. As a result, Antifa basically backed downand had no visible presence at the protest.
People in town were incensed that this “Drag Queen,” who clearly had no business being around children, was still being scheduled for the event. And they continued flood the library with angry calls and emails.
It worked. The day before the June 15 event, the pro-LGBT church announced that the scheduled “Drag Queen” would not be coming to read to the children – and it would not be a “Drag Queen Story Hour.” Instead, they were re-naming it “Leander Family Pride Festival and Story Time.” But people would still be reading homosexual-themed books to young children, but there would not be Drag Queens in attendance.

4. Successful protest outside the library against the LGBT agenda

MassResistance organized about 100 local Leander pro-family people to show up on June 15 outside the library – to protest the LGBT agenda in their library and in their city. About 75 pro-LGBT people were also came to oppose the pro-family protesters. But they appeared to be just a bunch of random gay activists from out of town, milling about and mouthing their predictable slogans and chants about “hate” and “bigotry.”
Due to the threats by Antifa to counter-protest and likely cause violence, the city went to great expense to secure the rights of all residents to safely practice their freedom to assemble and protest. There were police everywhere. In all, the city spent over $20,000 for protection for the protest – which only added to the outcry against this program.  
ALT TEXTAt the library protest on June 15 Texas MassResistance leader Tracy Shannon shows her winning smile!

ALT TEXTA lot of local parents brought signs like this one.
In addition, Leander residents were fuming that the city decided to close the library that day except for the exclusive use of the “pride” event – due to “safety concerns.”  This measure seemed a bit over-the-top and unnecessary, according to many people.
ALT TEXTThe sign outside the Leander Public Library that day infuriated parents.
But the pro-family protest was a big success. It sent a huge message to the politicians in Leander.

5. The City Council is forced to solve the problem!

National far-left organizations such as the ACLU, the NCAC (National Coalition Against Censorship), and Texas Library Association had already sent letters threatening lawsuits if the Leander City Council were to enact policies to make groups renting the library facilities pay for their own security costs – claiming it would be a “First Amendment violation..” But there was huge city-wide outrage against these sexual programs targeting young children. So the Councilors had to make some tough decisions. They ultimately did what was best for the children and the community. 
Thus, on August 15 the City Council voted 5-2 to restrict the use of the library meeting rooms to city departments in their official capacities. The new policies for approving outside presenters brought in to the library by city departments will involve background checks if they are presenting to children under 17.
ALT TEXTThis was a very busy streetcorner on June 15!
As of now, the city residents are protected from “Drag Queen Story Hour” events in their public library -- and other programming from outside groups that is pushes LGBTQ content and ideology onto children.

Vile, unhinged attack from a left-wing City Council member

One of the dissenting City Council members, Christine Sederquist, an ally of the LGBT movement, blamed the expense of the security for the protests on Tracy Shannon and MassResistance.
ALT TEXTPro-LGBT Councilwoman Christine Sederquist poses with homosexual-themed children's book "Love Makes a Family."
When Tracy Shannon responded that it was actually the expected violence from Antifa that required the need for expensive police protection – not the peaceful parents from Leander organized by MassResistance – Councilwoman Sederquist posted a vile, unhinged attack against Tracy on social media that included a disgusting sexual invective.
ALT TEXT
This is unfortunately how the Left reacts to any pushback to their horrible activities – with blatant lies and disgusting verbal abuse. In fact, Tracy Shannon is a very calm person who has NEVER screamed at anyone, certainly not children. Tracy’s online activity is simply exposing the depraved “Drag Queens” that people like Sederquist push on kids.
(How low can the Councilwoman go? She claims to possess dignity, class, and discretion. Yet only an extremely crude person would use the repulsive phrase “get bent” in public discourse.)
The city of Leander deserves better from an elected official. Sederquist’s City Council email address is: place4@leandertx.gov.  The entire City Council can be reached at: citycouncil@leandertx.gov.

Going forward …

The City Council, strengthened by the resolve of many residents who opposed Drag Queen Story Hour, made the right decision to protect the children in their community. Most cities have ordinances to keep sexually-oriented businesses away from libraries, churches, and schools because they should not be around children. Now Leander has enacted further policy to ensure that sexually explicit entertainers stay away from children in what would otherwise be benign, less controversial programs.
But we're not done cleaning house yet.  We’ve just learned that the Leander Library has scheduled a “Pride Storytime” on Oct. 12. There will be no Drag Queens and any adults participating will require a background check. We have a strong feeling that local parents getting tired of the LGBT agenda being pushed to children by their city. We’ll see what happens with that!
Going forward, MassResistance activists will continuing putting pressure on locally-elected and countywide bodies to adopt strict policies to ensure that sexually perverse Drag Queen Story Hours targeting children are kept out of their libraries and other public venues.
We’ve already heard reports that other cities will be adopting ordinances similar to Leander, Texas to restrict inappropriate use of public spaces in taxpayer-funded venues like local libraries. We will keep you apprised of future successes!

MassResistance Social Media Presence Growing!


This is the first time in the history of MassResistance's presence on Twitter that one of their tweets got this much retweeting and liking.

This is not a large number compared to other Twitter profiles, but the traffic on this one tweet, based on the retweets and the likes, is a massive jump for MassResistance.

We are making the difference!

BREAKING NEWS: “Drag Queen” in Austin, TX Public Library Exposed by MassResistance As Convicted Male Prostitute

BREAKING NEWS: “Drag Queen” in Austin, TX Public Library exposed by MassResistance as convicted male prostitute

Has also posted numerous explicit homosexual social media posts.

Has been reading books to young children in library – with no background check.

Defended as “role model” by public officials when MassResistance complained last week before the City Council

August 20, 2019
ALT TEXT"Miss Kitty Litter" reading to children at a "Drag Queen Story Hour" in the Austin Public Library.
Yet another “Drag Queen” reading to children has been revealed to have been convicted of a disturbing sex-related crime.
Earlier this year, research by our Houston MassResistance leader Tracy Shannon (she’s now our Texas MassResistance leader) revealed that not one, but TWO convicted child molesters were allowed to read to children in the Houston Public Library as part of its Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) program. City officials quickly shut it down.
MassResistance has repeatedly demonstrated that Drag Queen Story Hours – heavily promoted by the LGBT movement – bring in the worst possible people to children’s events. The organizers have even stated that their purpose is to give children “unabashedly queer role models.” Drag Queens – homosexual men who dress up as garish impersonations of women – are terribly dysfunctional people on several levels.

We warned the Austin, TX city officials – but were ignored

David Lee Richardson, aka “Miss Kitty Litter,” has been the featured Drag Queen in the Austin, Texas Library System reading books to young children in their DQSH program for the past year.
ALT TEXTThe Austin Public Library advertised "Miss Kitty Litter" widely.
On August 8, after uncovering numerous social media posts by Richardson alluding to homosexual sex, sado-masochism, and other repulsive behaviors (see below), MassResistance’s Austin Chapter testified before the Austin City Council. They described what “Miss Kitty Litter” had posted on social media, and the local citizens demanded that the DQSH event be stopped.
ALT TEXTOur Texas chapters are expanding!
They also held a press conference prior to the City Council meeting to describe the perverse lifestyles and “culture” associated with Drag Queens. Tracy Shannon led the press conference along with Kevin Whitt, our Dallas MassResistance chapter chairman and a former Drag Queen/transgender activist himself. Members of Texas MassResistance presented a number of posters showing the most perverse photos from Richardson’s social media profile.
ALT TEXTTracy leads the press conference in Austin as other parents hold up photos from "Miss Kitty Litter's" social media posts.
It was a hostile situation. The LGBT lobby and other left-wing groups showed up to protest us. And the City Council blatantly ignored our warnings. One Council member went off on a rant accusing us of “spreading hate and trying to make pointless political points.”
We will have a complete report of the August 8 events in Austin in an upcoming post.

REVEALED: “Miss Kitty Litter” convicted of male prostitution

Research by a member of our Austin MassResistance chapter has now revealed that this drag queen reading to children has a sex crime criminal record, as well. David Lee Richardson, aka “Miss Kitty Litter,” was arrested and convicted of offering sex for money – prostitution – in 1996.
ALT TEXT
Texas Penal Code 43.02 – Prostitution
(a)        A person commits an offense if the person knowingly offers or agrees to receive a fee from another to engage in sexual conduct
It’s disturbing that this man continues making perverse jokes and aspersions to prostitution on social media, which strongly suggests that he has no qualms about the sex trade. Some posts suggest that he has not left the prostitution/sex trade at all.

A record of disgusting social media posts

Below are some of Richardson’s social media posts that were uncovered by Texas MassResistance. You can read our larger 135-page report HERE. 
Keep in mind that we earlier forwarded all of this to the Austin City Council and library officials. None of them gave any indication that they felt it was inappropriate that this person was reading stories to young children in their public library. They apparently didn’t want to offend the LGBT lobby. This reveals a lot about our public officials, unfortunately.
CAUTION: Some of these are obscene and disgusting. But keep in mind that this is a person whom the library staff and city officials agreed is a "role model" for children. And this is the mindset of this "Drag Queen."

MassResistance goes where no other pro-family group dares to

Besides all this, MassResistance has researched and uncovered horrible information about Drag Queens participating in DQSH events across America.When we confront the politicians, quite often the vicious LGBT groups (including Antifa!) come out to defend DQSH and promote it further.
We’ll be blunt: No other pro-family group dares to do this! As we’ve been saying, at times like this you can’t just be the polite opposition. You must be bold. Be the counter-revolution!

Just this week we got a call from a teacher in a middle school. She was almost in tears. The school is pushing poisonous “gender ideology” and is now forcing teachers to use bizarre pronouns to address children. She said that teachers are being told to wear special ribbons to show support for LGBT movement. She’s scared and doesn’t know what to do. We’re taking it on! Our plan is to organize lots of parents to confront the school officials and DEMAND it stop! But what would you do if it were your school – and there was no group like us to help?
And as you probably also know, we are on the ground from California to Vermont helping parents confront (and stop!) the horrible “Drag Queen Story Hour” events – that target very young children with “transgender” ideology.
