Rep. Greene Declares the Truth About Sex, Gets Four Times the Views on Twitter Compared to Indoctrinated Child-Abusing Mother Marie Newman

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is making waves again in Congress.


Her Congressional colleague Marie Newman tried to provoke Rep. Greene with a transgender flag placed outside of her Congressional office.

Rep. Greene pushed back, and put up a great sign:

This is the kind of boldness we need to see in Congress.

It's time to stand for truth!

And Rep. Marie Newman should be in a jail cell for abusing her SON and allowing, enabling him to be pretend to be a girl.

The Left Never Stops Fighting -- Neither Should We


There is one thing about the Left that the right, that conservatives across the board need to learn:

They don't stop fighting.

The Left never stops fighting. They are never happy, never content. 

Just this past weekend, Black Lives Matter was still marching and marauding in the streets of Washington DC. They have not stopped making their demands known to the Biden Administration.

They understand that just because their candidates get elected to office, the work does not stop for them.

They know that you need to keep pressing your lawmakers, your elected officials to do the right things.

Electing the right people is just the first step. Making sure they do the right things is the next step. All of this is very important.

Conservatives need to conserve our Constitutional Republic. We need to fight for what we have, or we won't have anything left to fight for.

The point is, though, that we need to fight!

So let's get busy!



MassResistance Fighting to Stop the Equality Act!


Hey MassResistance Activists and Allies:

We are all working very hard to stop The Equality Act, which is all about granting special privileges to sexual deviance and perversion.

Everyone of our chapter leaders has their lists of contacts.


Check out this link, and you will find the contact information for every current House Rep.


Click here.


Contact as many House Reps as you can, and tell them any or all of the following reasons why they must REJECT the Equality Act:





There is a terrible bill working its way through Congress right now. It’s called
the “Equality Act” (HR 5), and it’s anything but about equality.

 It’s about special rights for the Destructive LGBT Agenda!

Authored by openly homosexual Congressman David Cicilline (D-Rhode Island), this legislation aims to “expand” the Civil Rights Act and its protections to include homosexuals, transgenders, and individuals who identify with other paraphilias.

This legislation is nothing more than a Trojan Horse to stamp out our God-Given rights, enshrined in the United States Constitution. It’s an attack on life, the family, and our society as a whole.

If this bill passes and gets signed into law, these are some of the terrible outcomes that will follow:

1.      This bill will undermine the Civil Rights Movement which black Americans fought for.

2.      Churches will get sued or lose their tax-exemption status if they do not accommodate LGBT behaviors.

3.      Children would be forced to learn about destructive LGBT behaviors in public schools. Parents who try to oppose this curriculum could be charged with illegal discrimination.

4.      Private colleges would lose funding, the power to issue grants and scholarships.

5.      Public accommodations and small businesses would be forced to allow men into women’s bathrooms and vice versa.

6.      Business owners would be forced to violate their freedom of conscience.

7.      Hospitals and clinics will be force to offer experimental and harmful transgender treatments.

8.      Foster and adoption agencies with traditional values will lose the opportunity to place children.


If a House Rep's office asks you where you are calling from, you do not have to tell them. It's OK. The fact that they are getting lots of calls means that they need to pay attention.


Just keep calling the House Reps. Don't worry about email addresses.


If you have finished your assigned list, I encourage you to contact any of the 45 Democratic Congressmen from vulnerable districts:


https://cdn-m4m.chd01.com/pro/uploads/account_2111/1184/45_smallest_prsnt.pdf


Choose any five, or call all of them if you want! They are going to face redistricting next year, and that means they could lose their seat!





Here is the final vote tally for the Equality Act in 2019:


https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/116-2019/h217


These are the Republicans who voted FOR the Equality Act in 2019, who are still in Congress. We need to go after them:


FL 25th   R   Diaz-Balart, Mario
NY 21st   R   Stefanik, Elise
NY 23rd   R   Reed, Tom
NY 24th   R   Katko, John
PA 1st   R   Fitzpatrick, Brian

Here are some Democrats who did NOT VOTE for the Equality Act in 2019 (who are still in Congress). We should urge them to vote NO or NOT VOTE:

CA 15th   D   Swalwell, Eric [surprise!]
MA 6th   D   Moulton, Seth [?]
No Vote MI 12th   D   Dingell, Debbie [Represents a Black District]
OH 13th   D   Ryan, Tim [working class]
SC 6th   D   Clyburn, Jim [Black]

The current partisan breakdown in Congress is 221 Dems, 211 GOP, 3 Vacancies https://pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/party-breakdown
Dems can only lose three votes to pass this bill. We need to keep the GOP together and target the above Democratic lawmakers.

Let's do this time! Stop the IN-Equality Act!

Colorado MassResistance Forces School to Turn Over Sex-Ed Curriculum

 

Colorado MassResistance forces school administrators to reveal hidden middle school sex-ed curriculum to community

Graphic and psychologically intrusive to kids

School officials wanted to charge us $120 for the public documents, but we finally got them for free

February 23, 2021
ALT TEXT Our Colorado MassResistance leader, Cathy, tells the District 49 school board that they need to obey the law and release public documents.

MassResistance has been helping parents face the relatively unhidden onslaught of “comprehensive sex ed” being pushed in their schools, openly brought in by leftist school boards and school administrators across the country.

But there’s another battle going on in school districts where the elected school boards do not buy into the comprehensive sex-ed agenda. Left-wing school administrators are determined to push their radical agendas. So they begin presenting explicit sex-ed materials (and other objectionable material) to younger students without any formal (or public) review. Parents and even school board members are purposefully kept in the dark about exactly what’s happening. Parents only find out bits and pieces of it by accident. The radical administrators believe that time and momentum is on their side – and they will eventually be able to openly make it a part of the curriculum.

When this sort of scheme happens, it needs to be exposed and publicly confronted immediately. But because of the deceptions, parents are at an even bigger disadvantage than usual. This is a battle that the Colorado chapter of MassResistance recently successfully took on!

ALT TEXT

Colorado School District 49 is a conservative area that includes eastern Colorado Springs and parts of the surrounding county. It is also where Cathy, our Colorado MassResistance leader, lives.

ALT TEXT

Parents of middle school children throughout the district had been upset and concerned about what they were hearing from their kids about the sex-ed classes. But the materials and curriculum was not being made available by the schools. All kinds of excuses were being used.

So last November, Cathy and the Colorado MassResistance team filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the middle schoolsex-ed materials – and also any Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, or 1619 Project materials being used.

The school district replied that they did not have any Black Lives Matter or related material in any of their curricula. But they clearly did not want to release the sex-ed materials.  They insisted on a $120 fee to obtain copies of all the records, including the labor costs (four hours), to search for them and redact any personal information. But MassResistance insisted on paying nothing. Across the country, we've never had to pay a school district for that information.

For a number of weeks, the school district stonewalled. More than a month went by. Cathy filed the FOIA again and even offered to come in and make the photocopies herself. But they never even replied to that.

Our New Jersey Chapter leader, Abraham, offered to assist Cathy. He has works with municipal law attorneys who often file lawsuits against derelict or recalcitrant school districts which refuse to comply with FOIA requests from the public. She got advice from him to help her move forward.

In Colorado, school boards must approve all school curricula, and there are also state guidelines. So there was a “sex-ed” curriculum outline for middle school students. But what is actually taught could easily go far beyond the vague set of goals set in the curriculum.

Taking it to the school board

At the next school board meeting, on January 14, 2021, Cathy spoke out boldly and asked the school board for help because she was facing considerable opposition obtaining public records. "They are supposed to be public, are they not?" she asked them. "Why can’t the public have access to the sex-ed curriculum?"

ALT TEXT The District 49 School Board listens to Cathy.

Surprisingly, members of the school board also wondered why she was not getting the documents that she requested. They directed the administration to help her deal with the FOIA request. One of the school board members observed that many parents were probably curious about this, and even suggested that it be posted on the website.

One board member went even further. He said that the board should conduct a review of the “access path” for people who have an interest in what the schools are teaching. He told the other members:

It seems like a very legitimate public interest request that should be transparent and easy to do on a website. If it’s not that way, why isn’t it? And what can be done to make it that way? I know that the public has concerns about what’s being taught in our s chools. Perhaps this could be an agenda item for a future meeting.

A few weeks after that school board meeting – and with a little more prodding from MassResistance – the school administration finally relented and gave her the information she requested … at no cost!

Fairly shocking – for middle school kids

We can see why the school administrators were hesitant to release the middle school sex ed materials. For kids who are 9-12 years old, it’s pretty intense and graphic. It’s probably factually correct. But it’s not “age appropriate” at all. The “factual information” would be way over their heads.

ALT TEXT Is this what you would want your kids to be taught in middle school?
ALT TEXT Do middle school children even understand this?
ALT TEXT This seems pretty graphic for middle school children.
ALT TEXT These are the options that they're telling middle school students about.

But far worse, like so much that the radical Left does to children, the graphic content appears meant to purposefully break down kids’natural modesty regarding sexual topics that they have at that age. It’s ideologically driven. How this affects children psychologically, the teachers simply don’t care.

Colorado MassResistance will make sure that this is presented to the public – and they can decide if this is what they really want their school board to push on middle school children.

Final reflection

Conservative school districts across the country are extremely vulnerable to this kind of infiltration from the radical Left. The next step is often the creation of phony (but well-funded) “astro-turf” local left-wing groups to intimidate school board members and parents who disagree with these programs once they’re in the schools.  We’ve seen similar districts in other places where that has happened.

Thus, MassResistance works to step in and help parents and normal-thinking school board members stop this problem before it gets out of control. It looks like we’re on the road to success in Colorado School District 49!

MassResistance Banking Services Shut Down, Now Restored with New Bank Processing

 

Major US pro-family group MassResistance suddenly dropped by bank

MassResistance, a major American pro-family organization, has helped to stop numerous radical pro-LBGT state bills in recent years.

February 22, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — MassResistance, a major American pro-family organization, was suddenly dropped by their bank earlier this month, leaving them unable to process donations for more than a week, the group said.

In a statement released last week, MassResistance reported that it suddenly discovered that their credit card processing had been shut down on February 8. “For nine harrowing days we worked to deal with this,” the group said, while online payments to them were declined or delayed.

“The bank had abruptly decided that it didn’t want to deal with a pro-family conservative organization,” they added. 

MassResistance, a major American pro-family organization, has helped to stop numerous radical pro-LBGT state bills in recent years. In 2019, the group notably mobilized successful parent-driven pushback against a “comprehensive sex-ed” bill in Washington that would have mandated graphic, anti-family sex-ed for all public-school children in the state.

After previously being targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center for “hate,” MassResistance has been blacklisted for years by Amazon, a major web hosting company, and even some pro-LGBT “conservatives.”

“We all know about the vicious efforts by Big Tech, Corporate America, and the Left that have erupted to silence and destroy conservatives – usually called the ‘cancel culture.’ The financial industry has been particularly aggressive,” MassResistance said. 

They noted that Bank of America was found to have combed through customers’ data at the U.S. government’s request after the January 6 Capitol protest, leading to the interrogation of an innocent Trump supporter. Major banks and other financial services have “debanked” the former U.S. president, despite previously backing the exorbitantly violentBlack Lives Matter movement. 

The anti-conservative corporate purge also has been accompanied by multi-million dollar funding campaigns for LGBT causes, including to promote anti-family ideology to kids. 

“The corporate culture in the financial industry is very poisonous. They give hundreds of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter/Antifa organizations as well as anti-family LGBT groups and Planned Parenthood,” MassResistance noted. 

The pro-family group reportedly joined a new bank on Tuesday, thanking their “Christian-run” merchant service provider, Cornerstone Payment Services, for sticking with them and managing the shift.

“Pro-family and conservative groups may be tempted to use ‘easy’ solutions like Pay-Pal, Stripe, and Square – but these are horrible anti-family companies that will eventually de-platform you,” MassResistance said.

Other Christian leaders have made renewed calls for conservative resistance to far-left corporate agendas, like Gab CEO Andrew Torba who has pushed for a “silent seccesion” to build a “Christian economy.”

“At this point we have no choice but to ‘build our own’ everything. That starts by supporting those who are already building and share our values. It’s not about simply building our own social networking platforms anymore, it’s about building our own Christian economy,” Torba said.

“In totalitarian countries such as Nazi Germany, the USSR, and Communist China, the ‘cancel culture’ was always the first step before death camps,” MassResistance warned. 

“The people who decide to fire you or destroy your business because of your beliefs actually want to destroy you personally. Normal people don’t do this to others,” they said.

MassResistance Victim of Cancel Culture? Nope! We Are Fighting Back!

 

MassResistance Update
Pro-family Activism

"Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords."
- Theodore Roosevelt
February 17, 2021
MassResistance was hit hard by the "cancel culture." But we're back!
On Monday, Feb. 8, MassResistance suddenly discovered that our credit card processing had been shut down. The bank had abruptly decided that it didn’t want to deal with a pro-family conservative organization.

We all know about the vicious efforts by Big Tech, Corporate America, and the Left that have erupted to silence and destroy conservatives – usually called the “cancel culture.”

The financial industry has been particularly aggressive.

According to national news, Bank of America collaborates with the government to secretly give the travel and purchase credit card records of conservatives to the FBI. JP Morgan has closed the bank accounts of known conservatives. Several major banks have recently refused to do business with Trump companies, or industries such as gun manufacturers and others that they disagree with politically. The corporate culture in the financial industry is very poisonous. They give hundreds of millions of dollars to Black Lives Matter/Antifa organizations as well as anti-family LGBT groups and Planned Parenthood.

For nine harrowing days we worked to deal with this. Any of you who tried to donate online was told his credit card was “declined.” For our monthly credit card donors, the donations were delayed.

Finally, yesterday MassResistance signed up with another bank that’s willing to work with us. We’re back up and running! But being down this long hurt badly. Those of you who tried to donate by credit card over the last week and were unable to, please come and try again! This is a crucial time to donate to MassResistance and keep us going strong! (Here's our donation form.)

The real heroes in this are the folks at Cornerstone Payment Systems. They are the credit card merchant service provider that stuck with us through all of this, connected us with the right bank, and made sure everything got set up again properly. Cornerstone is a Christian-run company that will never “cancel” pro-family conservatives. Pro-family and conservative groups may be tempted to use “easy” solutions like Pay-Pal, Stripe, and Square – but these are horrible anti-family companies that will eventually de-platform you. And other companies are also a big risk.

Over the past several years, MassResistance has taken steps to make as much of our operation as possible - including web and information technology - safe from these kinds of attacks and "cancellations."

Make no mistake about this. In totalitarian countries such as Nazi Germany, the USSR, and Communist China, the “cancel culture” was always the first step before death camps. The people who decide to fire you or destroy your business because of your beliefs actually want to destroy you personally. Normal people don’t do this to others. Their hatred really is that powerful. We need to learn from history. Unfortunately, most of the conservative movement isn’t paying attention.

The only solution is to aggressively confront it. With your help MassResistance is dedicated to doing just that!

Activist Mommy: "No More Excuses!"

 I agree with Elizabeth Johnston here. There have been too many excuses from conservatives and general citizens with sone degree of common sense. They are just hoping that all these problems will blow over on their own.

But that's not how these things work. The Left needs a robust pushback, and it's time for Christians, constitutionalists, and conservatives in general to step up and fight back!

No More Excuses!

Donald Trump. America’s Founding Fathers. Martin Luther.

What do these men have in common? They did not run from the swamp, but instead confronted it. 

Corruption of all kinds weaves in and out of history. Tyranny, racism, economic woes and communism have had their eras and will again. Ever since the contested election has spawned national anger, many Americans think of the term “corruption” differently than ever before. It has become a deeply personal word, triggering reminders of our stolen votes and a divided Congress that struggles to accomplish anything substantial. Images of Washington DC conjure hopelessness. Many believe that conservative’s involvement in politics is useless and our vote no longer counts. 

What if Martin Luther had not stood against the censorship of the Bible and the religious hierarchies of his day? What if his 95 thesis had never been nailed up, paving the way for the Reformation in Europe?

What if our Founding Fathers had buckled beneath the intimidation of a tyrannical British Empire? What if they’d settled for their overtaxed, subdued, silenced existences rather than pioneering history?

What if Donald Trump had stayed complacent with his fortune and his family, excusing apathy by saying “you can’t get anything done in the swamp”?

What if the heroes gone before us made excuses? 

We cannot run. We cannot make excuses. The time is now for Christians to sit in the seats of public office and spearhead activism and political reformation.
“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him,” 2nd Chronicles 16:9 says.

Lou Engle said:
There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens, and great revolutions for good or evil spring up in the vacuum created by these openings. In these divine moments key men and women and even entire generations risk everything to become the hinge of history, the pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.”

A frightening era may be approaching, but we believe now is the time for our voices to shine light in darkness. We want to see believers emboldened to get behind the plow in Jesus name.

We are hunkering down for a long fight. We cannot do this without you. Your contributions enable us to carry on.

Thank you so much for continuing to pray for us and partner with us as we spread the gospel and engage in the fight for freedom. We love and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and prayers!

For Christ & His Children,

Elizabeth Johnston 

No more excuses!

It's time to fight back and win. No holds barred, no holding back!

Open Letter to Michelle Malkin Re: The Groypers

Michelle:

First of all, I love your work. I was there to meet with you last year when you spoke in Fullerton, CA last year.


 
Here's a photo of you and me after your talk:
 
 
Second, I am THRILLED that you exposed CPAC and Conservative Inc at great length. They really screwed over MassResistance, as they pander to LGBT causes, including
 
I cannot thank you, in fact Brian and I cannot thank you enough for calling out and exposing CPAC!
 
They are not just bad, but dangerous to the conservative cause, since they induce college-aged people to think that you can be conservative and embrace a false agenda based on cultural Marxism which harms the civic culture and the societal underpinnings which make civilization—Western civilization—possible/
 
To be honest, Townhall.com has pretty much fallen into the Conservative Inc. category, too. I used to write for them, up to my last two articles about Pete "Alfred E" Buttigieg. Then they would not publish my submissions after that, and I just stopped writing for them.
 
Third of all -- GREAT ARTICLE about MassResistance’s efforts. To my knowledge, this is the first time you have taken on the Big LGBT agenda assaulting our country and attacking our children, our country, and our culture!
 
 
I hope that you write more articles exposing Big Gay. This agenda needs to be confronted head on! I am so thrilled that you are writing about this perverse Big LGBT agenda, and I hope that you will write more articles about it. MassResistance is staunchly committed to speaking the whole truth about this agenda: no one is "born that way", and in no wise should it be treated as a civil right. I have often shared that we need a wall around our border, but we also need a wall around our culture, protecting father and mother – Make Male and Female Great Again, Make Marriage Great Again, Make Mom and Dad Great Again. I believe that you would agree with me on this.
 
Now, I wanted to respond to the comment you wrote on Telegram:
 
 
I would like to first point out that I did not criticize you publicly. I wrote to you privately not to shame or demean you, but to share my concern. I care about your work very much, and I am in full agreement with your opposition to open borders, amnesty, etc. I have a copy of your latest book, signed by you! I only wish you had shared your upset with me privately, but that's fine.
 
Here's the debate I endured with Fuentes:
 
 
 It was really awful. He made a number of anti-Semitic comments to me, and he has made them to others. I'm not even Jewish, but to assume that one's ethnic status informs one's opinions or allegiances to the United States is distinctly un-American. He has made numerous comments dismissing or casting doubt on the Holocaust. He has also argued that people who are not white should live in another country. He really believed that conflict would end if we had a country with a more racially or ethnically homogenous population. "All men are created equal" reads our Founding Declaration. Fuentes does not agree with that. He has called marriage between a white person and a black person “degenerate.” This is not “America First”.
 
I admit that in the debate I was not prepared for the anti-Zionist arguments about the LaVon Affair, USS Liberty, etc. I later learned that many anti-Zionist, anti-Semitic polemicists often resort to these talking points to obfuscate the argument. A number of people caught me up to speed on these issues after that debate.
 
Fuentes was boorish, abusive, and very rude in the debate, as well. These behaviors and the ideas he has espoused are not worth allying oneself with. Granted, he agrees with us on stopping open borders, amnesty, and the LGBT agenda. But that does not excuse his other offensive and false views. They are not commensurate with putting American citizens, country, and culture first in our estimation. 
 
He even defended the Islamic Republic of Iran as a victim, when that country has routinely punished their own people (who love the United States) while providing funding for terrorist groups in the Middle East which attack us. That nation's parliament burns American flags. Why would anyone defend Iran, or more specifically the Ayatollah's regime?
 
He literally said "I would rather live in a fascist state." What? How is that America First? His views on race and the role of economic freedom are simply not "America First", either. He has written "fuck the free market" -- seriously? Free enterprise as domestic policy is excellent, a commensurate part of what makes America great. AND imposing tariffs on goods from rogue states and to protect our native-grown manufacturing industries is completely acceptable. Thomas Sowell defends the tariff practice in his book "Basic Economics."
 
Again, I shared those comments with you privately because I care about your mission and your activism. You are making a mistake promoting this young man. He shamed me as "Israel First" just because I care about the state of Israel and I want that country to thrive--as part of God's mission on this earth to redeem all of mankind through His Son Christ Jesus. You can love Israel, and still be "America First", and thus care about your own country. Part of the reason Trump is President is on account of Evangelical voters, and they wanted a stronger recognition of Israel, i.e. the proper location of our embassy in Israel in the capital city.
 
Watch the debate for yourself, and please notice that I have not called for nor demanded that this debate be taken down. I don't ascribe to "Cancel Culture":
 
Furthermore, I do not want him or ANYONE deplatformed. I think it is totally wrong to deplatform people for sharing views that I do not agree with.
 
What can I say, Michelle, I love your work, but you are wrong about allying with this Fuentes guy.
 
Having written all of this, I thank you again for spotlighting the what MassResistance is doing. We need more nationally-read columnists standing up to and exposing the LGBT Agenda in its fullest. Too many conservatives have given up on calling out the lies about homosexuality, transgenderism, and the like.
 
I even wrote a glowing article about some of the so-called "Groypers" when they took on TPUSA for being pro-LGBT:
 
Thanks for allowing me to share these thoughts with you. Once again, I thank you and appreciate your help to fortify more people to fight this culture war and stop Big Gay.
 
One last tip:
 
You might want to start investigating the Big Islamic money that is flowing into colleges all over the United States. They are the ones pushing a lot of anti-Zionist, read Anti-Semitic propaganda around the country. You can definitely tie all of this to the massive refugee agenda that Big Business and Big Left are pushing.
 
And read "The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise" when you get a chance. The author Dario Fernandez-Morera tells the truth about the so-called "multicultural paradise" in Islamic Spain (which never happened, by the way), AND about the big rush of Islamic money pushing universities to abandon rigorous research and criticism of Islamic history and culture.
 
Thank you for your time, and once again, you can call me anytime.
 
Sincerely,

Montana MassResistance: Fighting for Pro-Family, Anti-LGBT Bills in the State Legislature

 In Montana Legislature: MassResistance joins pro-family Republicans to push for bill to ban ghastly “sex-change” procedures on children

After big battle, bill fails after 19 Republicans cave to LGBT pressure

But separate bill to ban “transgender” males in girls’ sports passes House, goes on to Senate

Here's how it happened ...

February 2, 2021
ALT TEXT The Montana House of Representatives votes bill HB 113, to protect children from transgender "medical" mutilation.

The most ghoulish assault from the LGBT movement is their push to irreparably harm children through “sex-change” treatments. These “treatments” include deranged psychological counseling and chemical interventions (puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones), and often progress to disfiguring and irreversible surgeries. These experimental procedures leave children sterile and stunt their physical and psychological growth. They bring ugly facial hair and lowered voices to girls, and turn boys into eerie imitations of females.

There is no medical justification for operations that remove healthy body parts – girls’ breasts and boys’ penises – all so children may pretend to be the opposite sex. Why would anyone want to sentence these children to a lifetime of medical interventions, and often deep and profound regret? Why are otherwise reasonable people going along with this insanity?

ALT TEXT These 11-year-old identical twin boys were featured in a front-page Boston Globe article in 2011 celebrating the one on the left "becoming" a girl. As a result of puberty-blocking drug treatments, he was now five inches shorter than his brother and had female-like features, and likely sterile. According to the article, this was to be followed by a series of female hormone injections and ultimately operations to remove male body parts and "create" female-imitating body parts. We do not know what ultimately happened. [PHOTO: Boston Globe]

But as sickening as this is, it has become a successful component of the LGBT movement’s obsession with children. There are numerous “gender clinics” (in major children’s hospitals and smaller clinics) across the United States, as we first reported back in 2008. The medical establishment has capitulated and now strongly supports “gender” treatments. It’s a money-maker for “Big Pharma.” Public schools teach children that this quackery is “healthy” and normal. And the LGBT movement uses sophisticated psychological techniques to persuade parents to go along with it – for example their Orwellian ploy of guaranteeing “safety” for so-called “sexual minority” students.

A few states starting to take action

But some state legislatures have started to take action to protect vulnerable and troubled children from that powerful, destructive movement. They are introducing bills to ban these bizarre procedures that harm minor children. Not surprisingly, the LGBT movement is fighting these bills viciously, and so far none has passed into law.

The battle starts in Montana

Back in August, a conservative Montana State Rep., John Fuller, introduced bill HB 113, which would ban hormone therapies and gender mutilation surgeries and on children. Any health care provider engaging in such treatments would be fined.

Rep. Fuller also introduced HB 112 which would ban “transgender” males from competing in girls’ sports – similar to the bill passed in Idaho last year, which MassResistance helped with.

ALT TEXT Rep. John Fuller speaks on the House Floor on Jan. 25. supporting his bills.

But most of the fiery LGBT opposition was directed at HB 113. The LGBT movement does not want to lose the ability to alter children’s bodies – anywhere in the country. They are enraged by a bill like this, which bluntly challenges their absurd “gender” theory and exposes the grisly harm they are doing to children.

Since 67 of the 100 Montana House members are Republicans, this kind of common-sense bill would seem a safe bet to pass there, given the horrors that are happening. But that’s not what happened.

Republicans cave to the LGBT movement on HB 113

During the last three weeks in January, the battle blazed in the Montana House of Representatives. On January 18, House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing on both bills, and on Jan. 22 voted to bring both bills to the full House.

Bills must pass two full votes in the House, on separate days, in order to move on to the Senate. HB 112 ended up passing both votes easily, pretty much on party lines. The big fight was over HB 113.

On Jan. 22, MassResistance was contacted by one of the Montana State Reps. He told us that the transgender movement, along with lobbyists from hospitals, were moving at full speed to stop HB 113 from passing. Republicans were being heavily pressured, he said.

MassResistance got right to work and mobilized our people in Montana. They began calling and emailing House members and also using social media.

The first floor vote for HB 113 was on Jan. 25, It barely passed by 53-47. In other words, 14 Republicans had caved. If another four defected, it would be dead.

The second House floor vote was scheduled for the following day, Jan. 26. Our people continued pleading with Republicans not to allow this demonic practice on children. But when the vote came, our worst fears came to fruition. Four Republicans, including the Republican Majority Leader, defected. HB 113 failed by 49-51. It was shocking!

The next day the bill’s supporters tried again by filing a Motion to Reconsider. That failed, also. The Majority Leader continued to oppose HB 113.

Here’s an email sent by one of our Montana residents to the Majority Leader, Sue Vinton, the day before the Motion to Reconsider:

I was disappointed to read that you changed your vote on HB 113. I encourage you to change your vote back to YES if the bill is reconsidered. The ACLU and well-funded outside interests are behind opposition to this bill, not popular opinion.

My daughter was very negatively impacted by the unscientific "gender" theories and counseling when she was in high school (in a different state). This tore apart our family for no good reason.

These transgender treatments will cause lasting harm for children, enslaving them to lifelong medical interventions and likely infertility. The whole transgender movement is based on theories having no scientific basis.

Obviously, Rep. Sue Vinton wasn’t moved by that parent’s anguish.

How did this happen?

The LGBT movement has enormous resources – even in Montana – to fight these battles against children and families. And they’re very well organized. It was a full-court press that regular people could hardly grasp. Looking back, here’s what people were up against:

Spreading big lies. The first thing they did is create a series of false narratives – i.e., lies – that they repeated everywhere.

  • The most insidious disinformation was that “HB 113 would deny critical medical care for minors experiencing gender dysphoria.” In other words, they were saying that “critical medical care” entails mutilating a child’s body to pander to his mental illness! In fact, the opposite is true. The real critical care that is needed is good therapy – which the LGBT movement is trying to ban.
  • Another false narrative was that banning these procedures would cause “health risks” and “suicide” among youth. Again, the truth is exactly the opposite. When children realize what has happened to them, it is then that they often become suicidal. To bolster that fact, MassResistance recruited Walt Heyer, a well-known ex-transgender who has written extensively on this subject, to give his testimony in this email to the House members.
  • The LGBT radicals also absurdly stated that HB 113 would unethically “get between a doctor and his patient.” But of course, many laws do that to protect people. And one of the problems the bill was addressing was unethical care offered by pro-transgender medical providers.

Unfortunately, too many squishy Republicans weren’t willing to stand up to this nonsense – or actually believed it.

The Montana media played a huge role. They are as left-wing as the media everywhere else.  They flooded the Internet with near-hysterical articles that portrayed these bills as backwards and dangerous. The Montana Free Press published such articles about this on Jan. 12Jan. 15Jan. 18Jan. 22Jan. 25, and Jan. 26. Other newspapers were just as bad.

Over a dozen state-wide and national pro-LGBT groups poured their resources into stopping this. They are well-funded, well-organized, and have experience bowling over politicians.

Those groups were able to get hundreds of LGBT activists from Montana and across the country to angrily call and email legislators. But more important, they organized groups of dysfunctional LGBT parents and activists to go to the State House and pay personal visits to key legislators. They came well-rehearsed with their well-crafted, highly emotional talking points.

Unfortunately, our side rarely has the resources to effectively counter that. That type of mobilizing generally requires a last-minute infusion of funds, and wealthy conservative donors simply don’t want to get involved. But that’s been a fact of life for a long time.

Republican Majority Leader Sue Vinton told the press that she switched her vote at the last minute “out of care and consideration for children” and “based on hearing the perspectives of transgender people, as well as medical providers and family members.” From what we’ve heard, people across the state are already furious at her for such a blatant betrayal.

The Montana medical establishment lobbied hard to stop HB 113. It boggles the mind that medical professionals would support something so terrible – it’s such obvious medical quackery. Not only did they send in lobbyists, but the Montana Hospital Association submitted this official letter against HB 113. (It’s all about the money, apparently.)

ALT TEXT This is an example of the lunacy now being pushed by the medical establishment.

The medical establishment presented a letter from the Montana Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics opposing HB 113. This shows what a fraud that organization has become. Luckily, the legislators also received a letter supporting HB 113 from the American College of Pediatricians, a voice of reason opposing lunatic political correctness.

The Montana Chamber of Commerce worked to kill HB 113. Legislators mentioned that a number of times. That’s not surprising; those groups caved in to the LGBT movement a long time ago. And the Montana Federation of Public Employees opposed HB 113 with this particularly childish letter.

Final thoughts

The conservative movement constantly underestimates the obsession that the LGBT movement has with children – and the extreme things they will do to get their way.

And the LGBT movement knows what buttons to push. This is a very disturbing trend that the public needs to know: Republicans in state legislatures across the country, even where they have supermajorities, often will cave to Big Business (or Big Pharma) since they are afraid of losing donations or large investments into their home states. Make no mistake: “Gender clinics” for children are becoming a big business for hospitals.

LGBT groups are aggressive in attacking any legislative proposals that will slow the spread of their agenda. MassResistance is virtually the only pro-family organization that understands the high stakes at play in this culture war. We understand that even when victory seems imminent, that we must double down in our demands to ensure that the best care and reforms for children win out.

We believe that victory will ultimately come. The opposition is based entirely on lies and spending large amounts of money. We have beaten them many times in the past. The point will come where we start to beat them every time.

Our Montana MassResistance activists have already started lobbying the Montana State Senate to ensure passage of HB 112, but we will also start turning our attention to the legislators and special interests which helped kill HB 113. Stay tuned for more reports this issue.
