Malkin Calls Out CPAC: Invite a Drag Queen, but Not MassResistance?!

Michelle Malkin has recently reported on the growing victories of MassResistance against the LGBT agenda throughout the United States.

She pointed out how the Conservative Inc. Cabal which has pushed libertarian and libertine policy points on immigration and family issues threw out MassResistance in 2018, even after Brian Camenker and team had paid the filing fee to set up a booth.

Conservative Inc. is not all that conservative. They are interested in tax breaks, corporate ease, open borders ... and open sexuality!

Check out the latest tweet sent out by Michelle Malkin:

CPAC featured a drag queen this weekend, but bans conservative MassResistance activists, who expose this degeneracy in schools & libraries. ConInc is broke. https://t.co/WVrtZArgx1

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) March 3, 2020

CPAC featured a drag queen at their convention. Seriously.

Here's the pic of "Lady MAGA":

Lady MAGA gets CPAC, but not MassResistance
(Photo from New York Post)

But hey ... at least he used the men's room, right? At least he doesn't support Drag Queen Story Hour, right?

Here's the problem: the fact that Drag Queens and drag entertainment is getting such normalization is eroding the whole fabric of the culture. Drag queens are not for kids, and drag queens really are not for adults, either. Why are we allowing both parties to be essential co-opted to endorse and embrace sexual perversion and destruction?

All the hollow talking points about diversity, acceptance, inclusion, etc. is not what a culture is founded upon. There must be fundamental values, clear principles, unyielding precepts which the culture, the coutnry as a whole acknowledges and accepts.

Homosexuality, transgenderism, and like sexual paraphilias should not be celebrated or tolerated. Enough is enough. Respecting the natural rights of all Americans is wise and good, and in fact necessary based on the Founding Principles of this country

Seriously, though, it's disturbing how much MAGA grift has moved into the conservative movement in general. It's disgusting how a certain group like the LGBT movement has been permitted to force its way into both parties, and the pro-family party is refusing to take a firm stance against this.

I am so pleased that Michelle Malkin continues to call out Conservative Inc. and its insistence on kowtowing to corporate donors and greedy interests at the expense of the national interest and individual liberties. We need more people to walk away from this left-leaning tilt infiltrating the nationalist, populist, and most importantly traditionalist elements in our country.

Child Abuse: Mom Purchases Make-Up Kit for 7 Year Old

Here's another disgusting tweet showing the further dishonor which parents are visiting on their children:

My boy turned 7 today and all he wanted was a makeup palette 🖤 @jamescharles #jamescharles #morphexjamescharles @MorpheBrushes pic.twitter.com/4nbX3U2Qgq

— Tristen (@tristennnnn_) February 26, 2020

How can anyone celebrate this?

How can anyone allow this?

Two words: child abuse. 

Parental rights are not absolute, and parents do not have a right to engage in their children in confusion delusions like this.

Tennessee MassResistance: Tell State Legislature to Pass "Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act"

Dear Tennessee MassResistance:

We have a great pro-family opportunity for you to help make a difference with other warriors and pastors in the Tennessee state house.

A number of pastors have introduced legislation, HB2721 called the "Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act.”

This legislation would set up boards made up of parents in every county in the state of Tennessee. These boards would hold the power to determine who would be administering the libraries and what kinds of programs would be permitted in the libraries.

The goal of this legislation is to ensure that perverted programs like “Drag Queen Story Hour” and other LGBT-oriented programs never enter those libraries ever again! Tennessee MassResistance members and allies have worked very hard to shut down Drag Queen Story Hour programs throughout the state, but this legislation will make sure that they never come back to local libraries, while also empowering parents to safeguard their children and the next generations to follow.

Please contact the following lawmakers and tell them to support HB2721!

Here are the talking points to use:

1.      “Parents should have the final say on what goes on in their local libraries! What is wrong with that?”

2.      “This measure would only cot $22,000 a year over 95 counties. That is a small price to pay to protect children from sexual deviance, perversion, and predators!”

3.      “Libraries are turning into targets for the LGBT lobby to push all kinds of perversion, not just Drag Queen Story Hour. We need to put a stop to this madness before it gets worse!”

4.      “Big businesses are intimidating the state legislature? You tell them ‘You need us! We don’t need you!’ Pass HB 2721!”

5.      “You are only allowing 2 people to address the committee in favor of this bill? You need to allow more people to speak out in favor of this bill!”

"LGBT is here to stay. Get over it" -- No, We Shouldn't. Here's Why

I have so many people who have said to me "There is no point in fighting this LGBT agenda. There is no point in fighting gay marriage. That horse has left the barn. That ship has sailed."

Well, imagine if pro-life advocates had been that cynical and self-defeating after Roe v. Wade in 1973? That perverse decision was rendered by a lop-sided 7-2 majority, devoid of legal argument or scientific fact. From that moment on, the Pro-Life Movement was born, and it has grown considerably. Today, the Pro-Life Generation is younger, more active, more militant than ever. They don't back off, cave in, or run away from the fight for life!

Ronald Reagan used to be pro-choice. Then his mind changed.
The same thing can happen to our culture regarding family.

 It's important to remember that both major political parties were pro-choice. Richard Nixon was pro-choice, and so was Gerald Ford. Before he ran for President, Ronald Reagan was pro-choice. What changed? Within seven years of Roe v. Wade, the Christian Coalition rose up and changed politics in this country. They prodded Reagan to be pro-life, and they have accomplished far more in making President Donald J. Trump the most pro-life President in our nation's history!

Now, let's look at the LGBT agenda, and the arguments which precipitated this movement.

In 1986, the Supreme Court ruling in Bowers v. Hardwick upheld anti-sodomy laws because according to the majority, there is no constitutional right to sodomy. That was a 5-4 decision, and one of the justices in the majority later regretted his vote because he did not "known" any homosexuals. What does personal affection or affiliation have to do with constitutional principles? The key arguments for striking down the anti-sodomy statutes focused on right to privacy and "Live and Let Live", i.e. a libertarian argument. That approach failed.

From that point forward, the LGBT lobby focused on arguments from a civil rights perspective, i.e. "I was born this way." If someone is born gay, then it would be such aggravated bigotry to punish someone for "being gay". That would be so cruel, right?

Here's the fundamental problem with that argument: that's a total lie. No one is "born that way." The growing scientific evidence affirms tihs recognition. Just as in 1973, the general public wrongly believed that the human being inside the mother's womb was not a living being, so too today the general public has been believing a falsehood, that people are genetically endowed, determined toward homosexual activity. The growing body of evidence on this subject is confirming that homosexual conduct is not innate, genetic, or inherent. Even LGBT activists themselves are slowly conceding this fact.

If the Pro-Life Movement could proceed with the truth and slowly but surely change the minds of the public to embrace pro-life policies, so too should we in the pro-family movement fight for pro-family outcomes. Yes, we can envision a country where false marriage and the natural bonds of matrimony are restored. Yes, we can see a country where attitude about homosexual conduct and the ideology attached to it are rejected.

The Obergefell decision, which imposed false marriage on this country, was more fraught than the Roe v. Wade decision, with four compelling dissenting opinions. The dissenting opinions accurately point out the legal, moral, as well as biological flaws with granting false marriage as a constitutional right. Once again, the Wisdom of the Aged, the learning of our elders, was correct in their rejection of abortion and homosexuality.

This is a fight which can we be won, just as President Ronald Reagan envisioned in 1969 that the Berlin Wall would disappear, and then in the 1980's that Communism would be consigned to the ash-heap of history. We should not just throw up our collective hands with the excuse "The horse has left the barn."

"It's Wrong for Kids, but It's OK for Adults" Is All Wrong, Not Good Enough

"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." (Genesis 18:19)

There are so many adults which have acquiesced to homosexuality, transgenderism, and the rest.

But they at least say "Don't force these behaviors on children." Isn't that good enough?

No, it isn't.

Regardless of whether homosexual acts are consensual or otherwise, they are harmful, they are wrong.

Our communities, our cultures, our country needs to say "No" to what is wrong and "Yes" to what is good.

This doctrine of "Live and Let Live" does not work when those who want to live in sin insist that others celebrate the sins they live in. That is the natural of homosexuality and transgenderism. Those who engage in such behaviors are walking out of concert with God's natural law, and they are rejecting the law of the Spirit of Life.

No, it's not enough for people to protest these behaviors being exhibited around children, but to say that they are completely appropriate around adults.

Adults, parents in particular, have a responsibility to train their children in the ways to go (Proverbs 22:6)

Parents, adults cannot retreat into Drag Queen entertainment as if it's "no big deal", then get shocked and outraged that cultural marxists and LGBT bigots are using that deveiant form of entertainment to indoctrinate children.

It's time to call out the whole LGBT Agenda as wrong. Simple as that.

San Diego Democratic Party: Anti-Family, Anti-Veteran, Anti-Immigrant, White Supremacist, Pro-Child Abuse

This is the San Diego County Democratic Party:

The Chairman of the San Diego County Democratic Party calls Chula Vista residents, including immigrants, veterans, and retired teachers 'hate group' for protecting children from sexual deviants and predators.

Really.

Here is the email from William Rodriguez-Kennedy, the Chairman of the San Diego County Democratic Party:

This is now the second Democratic operative who has resorted to shaming and defaming mothers, fathers, veterans, immigrants, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Americans of all faiths and backgrounds as "hate group" because they care about children and do not want them to be perverted or groomed for sexual exploitation.

This is San Diego MassResistance:



and here:

Our team has never worried about diversity, but our activists are a diverse group of people, men and women of all ages and backgrounds.

In contacts, this is the hate group which has been harassing the Chula Vista City Council:

They have fewer people, and they are pushing sexual perversion of all kinds.

They hate children, they celebrate sexual deviance, and they promote child abuse and endangerment while ignoring the best interests of the community at large.

That is the San Diego County Democratic Party.

They are anti-family.

They are also anti-immigrant, since in large part they attack a heavily immigrant community which does not want drag queens around children. Tom Lemmon, the heavy-set union heavy, particularly shames and attacks immigrants because they do not support sexual perversion around children.

They are anti-veteran, since they attacked Andres Wong, who has served our country, while the rest of them look for excuses to serve themselves.

The San Diego County Democratic Party is anti-veteran, anti-immigrant, anti-family.

Guess what that makes them? White Supremacist.

This should really come as no surprise, though.

The Democratic Party has a dark vein of intolerance.

Since its inception in the 1820s, they targeted Native Americans, stealing their land to make a profit for themselves.

They endorsed slavery, and they supported the notion that working people should work, while they eat.

Rather than respecting the natural rights of all citizens, and rather than promoting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the Democratic Party used every opportunity to use local and state governments to enrich themselves while impoverishing everyone else. Rich, white, male Democrats (like Mr. William Rodriguez-Kennedy) would impose burdens on immigrants, working poor, blacks, and Hispanics, refusing to let them keep the fruits of their own labor, whether through the Democratic Party's urban corruption or Southern plantations.

When Republican Presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln became President in 1860, his administration signalled that the federal government would no longer promote nor protect the spread of slavery against black slaves and wage theft against working Americans.

Rather than respecting the will of the majority of voters, the Democratic Party opted to secede from the United States to protect their pecular institution of slavery. They lost, but took in their wake hundreds of thousands of lives. Even after the Union reintegrated the Southern states, the Democratic Party north and south continued to push segregation, discrimination, racism, and outright bigotry.

This bigotry continued as Democrats voted against restoring to women the right to vote (Democrats had taken the right to vote away in the early 1800s). The Democratic Party apparatus supported interning Japanese Americans and they rejected granting full-citizenship to Native American tribal members.

Republicans recognized the natural rights of Americans, while Democratics--mostly racist white liberals--denigrated and diminished natural rights for American citizens. Democrats put black people in the back of the bus. Republicans offered them the front seat or informed them "You can own the bus!"

And such has been the case to this day.

And now, the Democratic Party, represented by the San Diego County Democratic Party, is promoting child abuse.

San Diego Democratic Party, The Party of Hate and Bigotry

What more can one say? The San Diego County Democratic Party is a cult of bigotry, pure and simple.

Why they insist on harassing innocent citizens in Chula Vista, who care about parents, who care about children, who oppose the degradation of of their mental and emotional well-being? They are a hate group, pure and simple.

Drag Queen Story Hour is Pedophilia in Plain Sight

If anyone still doubts that this whole Drag Queen Story Hour program is just innocent fun with some eccentric characters, look no further than the video below:

Those of us who said the LGBT+++ agenda was about normalising paedophilia and destroying future generations have been vindicated once again. In a decent society, the adults in this video would be arrested and sent to jail. Can this world become any more degenerate? pic.twitter.com/lZ01su3D1J

— Gemma O'Doherty (@gemmaod1) February 28, 2020

This degeneracy can no longer be tolerated in our midst!

Edmund Patrick Adamus further explains why this is horrific:

Children cannot distinguish "motive" from "purpose" when trying to process sexualised content when their brain is under-developed. So the young brain/mind suffers the same emotional and physiological trauma akin to sexual grooming #KeepKidsSafeRSE

— Edmund Patrick Adamus (@EdmundPAdamus) February 28, 2020

These parents should be ashamed of themselves for allowing such a filthy display of sexual deviance around their children.

This is criminal conduct. This is out-and-out grooming of children, right in front of all of these parents. The men in the audience were actually clapping, laughing, showing how titillated they were with this display of debauchery.

Enough is enough.

Please, to anyone who can tell me where this perverted drag show took place, contact me ASAP!

We need to take every step possible to hold the parents accountable for this disgusting disregard for the well-being of that little girl. Drag queens are not for kids. Drag shows are not for adults! This is insanity, and we need to take a stand against it at all costs!

RaPaul Called It: The LGBT Movement would "Eat Itself From the Inside Out"

RuPaul has issues. He is quite a drag.

He likes to read people, not books. He likes to insult people who do not dress as "fabulously" as he does.

Yet even he has had to admit of late that LGBT is not OK.

For the last three years, at least, RuPaul does not dress in drag in public. "I only dress in drag when I get paid," he once admitted.

Let's face the facts.

The whole LGBT movement is based on lies and self-serving identitarian factions, and those inner strifes are now breaking out for everyone to see. When truth no longer matters, people are going to fight for power and pre-eminence, nothing more.

And there is only so much power, so much placement, so much pre-eminence to go around for people.

The lesbians and the gays are going to fight with the bisexuals. The bisexuals are going to claim that lots of straight people are pretending to be bisexual because they want to score virtue-signalling brownie points. They are going to insist that they are distinctly different because they want to sleep with both sexes.

Then you have this crazy transgenderism movement. You have men who say that they are actually women, and within that cohort you have men who have not yet removed all their private parts, and then there are those transgenders which have had all the "bottom" surgeries.

The divisions, the intersections, the cross-currents are getting thicker, deeper, more convoluted, and ultimately deadlier.

RuPaul picked up on these conflicts early on, and he declared that the whole LGBT Movement was going to turn on itself.

Pop will eat itself... So will the "Gay Movement"

— RuPaul (@RuPaul) May 24, 2014

Notice that he declared this breakdown as early as 2014--and that was the same year that Republicans swept every level of government throughout the United States in November of that year.

RuPaul later predicted that the LGBT Movement would destroy itself:

Forget an outside threat, the “Gay Movement” will eat itself from the inside out #OrwellAnimalFarm

— RuPaul (@RuPaul) May 24, 2014

Indeed, this is what is happening.

Homosexuals have been pushing their agenda for the last ten years, and now it has infiltrated into libraries, schools, and other safer spaces where children were supposed to be safe from such filth.

There are now homosexuals who oppose this insanity. They have contacted MassResistance's main office in Waltham, Massachusetts, sharing that they cannot stand the idea of drag queens being around children.

Many of the homosexuals who contact our office inform us that they know that they were not "born that way" either. A growing cohort of lesbians are opposing transgenderism. They are appalled by the notion that men can pretend to be women, and that these men can cohabitate with women in close quaters, including prisons.

This LGBT insanity is casting so many shadows across the country, that people are getting tired of this agenda being shoved in their faces. Young people have a negative view of LGBT precisely because of its inherent tyranny.

Of course, this totalitarian aspect of the whole agenda should came as no surprise. The LGBT advocates have been pretty clear about their intentions since the outset. They wanted more than tolerance; they wanted acceptance and then celebration.

They now demand that everyone approve of their behaviors and promote them, or pay a price.

Yet even within the whole LGBT cohort, there are members who see the full-on tyranny of this nonsense, and they want out. More homosexuals are abandoning the lifestyle which hurts them, too, proving definitively that no one is born gay.

Just recently, a lesbian activist, Arielle Scarcella, came out as "conservative" simply because she was tired of the violent "woke" nonsense that has plagued her and others:

I'm A Lesbian Woman & I'm Leaving The "Progressive" Left...
(More content coming soon) https://t.co/DjANIyfDnb pic.twitter.com/awvS0sKC0H

— Arielle Scarcella (@ArielleScarcell) February 23, 2020

She got tired of bigoted, anger, even violent trans activists attacking lesbians such as herself who will not abandon the scientific fact that there are two sexes--only two--and that biological men should not be competing, confronting women in their own sports fields.

The LGBT "community" was never really a community to begin with, since community implies a capacity to pass down values by birth, not merely by recruitment. The LGBT movement is now split on the Buttigieg candidacy for President!

Left-wing LGBT activists, the hardest core of the hard core, do now want the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana for President. He is too "moderate" (whatever that means now among Democrats), he is too corporate, and he is bought and paid for by rich billionaires in wine caves. There's even an article featuring this growing rift with in the LGBT bloc of voters:

'Being gay is not enough': Buttigieg's candidacy divides LGBTQ Democrats

The gays cannot get behind the potentially first gay Presidential candidate. Really. Is it that he is not gay enough? Really, it's that he is too "privileged". Oh brother.

Buttigieg is not gay enough for LGBT activists

To be honest, "being gay" was never the goal of the whole LGBT Agenda. Demanding acceptance, celebration, and promotion--all of that was the goal.

RuPaul called it right. This whole LGBT movement is eating itself out from the inside out. It's time for someont to close the book on this whole agenda and declare "The Library is now closed."

What Does "America First" Mean?

America First

The term "America First" has been appearing a lot lately in the current discourse.

Many people are using this term as the bona fide to silence a different set of debates.

Does "America First" mean that we stop having strong relationships with other countries?

Does it mean that the United States must remove or reject individuals from other ethnic backgrounds from entering, settling, and building up the United States?

Does "America First" mean that we only care about our borders, but ignore the culture, the spiritual heritage on which the United States was founded?

Does it mean "white nationalism"?

None of this is accurate.

There is a great deal of clamoring for putting America First. But what does that mean?

If we are talking about "Americans First", then we have something more specific to focus on.

I agree. Why should the United States be required to take in more people, when we have so many people who are looking for work, who are in need?

The last thing that the United States should be doing is opening up the borders to bring in more immigrants. There is nothing racist or hateful about securing our borders, then limiting legal immigration as well as stopping illegal immigration entirely.

In fact, a pause on immigration altogether is necessary to allow the latest cohort of individuals to assimilate fully and properly into the United States civic framework.

Those who wish to enter the United States should do so because they want to become ... Americans!

Now we have the larger question. What is an American? What is this America, this new man?

We are talking about individuals, a country, a culture, a historical legacy which is greater than blood and soil.

America First must mean a resurrection, a restoration of Biblical truth, of our Judeo-Christian heritage.

It's not about Make America White Again, or Make America Brown Again.

The demographics issue that troubles the United States should be targeting the cultural brainwashing which has descended upon college students. They are being taught to hate this country by a dedicated coven of Marxists. Virginia went blue in large part because white voters are voting Left, not voting Right. The immigration influx alone cannot account for the sudden shift in the state.

With California, it's a similar as well as a different situation. Yes, immigration has overwhelmed our state. Illegal aliens are voting in our elections, and the state of California has enabled it even further with automatic voter-motor registration.

What has been a larger problem, however, has been the infiltration of the colleges, and the indoctrination they impose on young people. Yes, we need to build the wall along our Southern border. We need to stop the flood of illegal aliens coming into the United States. We also need to crack down on Visa overstays and rogue employers who insist on hiring illegal aliens under the table.

But ... let's not forget that the Byzantine Empire's capital, Constantinople, had the thickest walls imaginable, and that empire fell. Let us also not forget that the Babylonian empire had walls and rivers, and yet the culture laxity led to its downfall, too.

When a culture, when a country, when a community stops believing in itself, when it gives up on the values, the mores which made it great, and make it worth fighting for. At this time, there are too many younger people who do not care for this country. They have been taught to hate the United States, or at the very least they have no understanding about what makes America Great in the first place.

Those who push the blood and soil argument are missing the larger, Judeo-Christian, eternal ideals on which this nation was founded. The United States is indeed founded on borders, language, culture. But the culture is based on precious values, ideals, principles which other countries had not even considered.

The Declaration of Independence outlines an unprecedented array of values, precepts, divine ideals, and our country is founded on them. Take the one sentence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

This sentence alone requires intense erudition to explicate its implications.

"Truth" - the notion that a government, a nation would be founded on truth, not political posturing, not just the will of the majority against the minority--this is unprecented.

"Self-evident" - the principles which the writers of the Declaration of Independence would put forward were not some cult-like secret or elitism scholastissm. This knowledge, this awareness was apparent to anyone who is paying attention. Anyone could get this.

"All men are created equal." The passage after this statement confirms that this standard of equal merit and value before the Creator applies to women as well as to men. There is an equanimity of value, of honor, or status within a community that belongs to both men and women. Furthermore, men are not allowed to enslave other men. There is no right nor basis for one man to control another to his detriment.

"Endowed by their Creator".

What does "endowed" mean? Given or provided a quality or asset. And who gave these rights to us?

Our CREATOR!

This recognition of divine authority cannot be understated. Many seculare republics, democracies, etc. have failed precisely because they ignored divine right and recognition. Our rights come from God, not the state, not from other people.

Part of "America First" must recognize God, must recognize a Creator, and if I may be so bold ... a Redeemer.

I could write so much more about the profound revelations pregnant in the Declaration of Independence, but I hope that the point is made, nonetheless. The United States, America is more than just borders, more than just language, and more than a culture of cultures.

It's a civic order based on divine precepts, outlined and length in the United States Constitution. America is far more than skin color or ethnic groups.

And this discussion, this restoration is essential for our Republic.

America First is about more than immigration. It's about more than demographics.

It's about founding principles. It's about the divine order which was imputed to our blessed country--and we cannot ignore these values.

New York MassResistance: Upstate Group Shuts Down Drag Queen Story Hour

National LGBT movement erupts as MassResistance helps NY parents stop local “Drag Queen” event

A wave of vitriol and intimidation descends after library cancels event in wealthy NYC suburb.

But bold parents aren’t intimidated.

February 22, 2020

 The national LGBTQ website The Advocate, published in California, went ballistic at the Rye, NY parents' success.

The national LGBT movement and their unhinged local activists unleashed a flood of anger, attacks, and intimidation efforts against a courageous band of parents after MassResistance helped them successfully persuade the local library in Rye, NY, to cancel a “Drag Queen Story Hour” (DQSH) event.

LGBT activists even tried to shut down the small local newspaper in the town after it published an unbiased article about the incident. Rye is a small (population 16,000), fairly wealthy suburb of New York City that rarely sees this kind of controversy – especially generated by conservatives.

But the parents are not intimidated or backing down, and they’re fighting efforts by the national LGBT movement to bring the bring back the DQSH event.

Parents contact MassResistance and get started

On January 17, John and his wife, parents of three children in Rye, contacted MassResistance. They had seen the advertisements for the DQSH event coming to their public library on February 8. “How does one go about rallying people together against this?” they asked. We already had a New York MassResistance chapter, and we were able to help them get right to work!

Over the next week, working with a local attorney and others, they put together a detailed, strongly worded formal complaint letter using the library’s own “patron complaint form.” Read the complaint letter here.

The library cancels the event!

They distributed copies of this this across town – via churches and people simply giving copies to their friends. People were outraged when they saw it. Many submitted their copies back to the library. John’s group of parents collected dozens of other letters from people and delivered them. As the library later acknowledged, it was quite overwhelming; they got a veritable flood of these complaint letters, and emails of scanned copies of it.

On January 28, the library issued a statement saying that the event had been cancelled.

That evening, on January 28, the Library Board of Trustees held their regular meeting, and many parents from the community joined John to bring this up their objections. John reported that the Board was receptive to their concerns and said they didn’t even know about the scheduled event. The Library Director was present but did not speak at the meeting. John also learned that library benefactors were very dismayed and instrumental in stopping this. 

The hard-copy issue of the local Rye Record newspaper came out that day and included a startling editorial about the incident, Drag Queen Story Hour Deferred, but Controversy Ensues. The article was a common-sense reaction to this bizarre event, which included lines such as:

What happened to bringing joy and delight to our children and grandchildren, rather than assaulting them with political correctness?

The LGBT attack campaign begins

But starting the next day, January 29, the ugly LGBT harassment campaign started. A barrage of vicious attacks on the parents began. They were labeled as bigots, and worse. One local woman wrote on Facebook that one of the parents, a mother, is “the face of hate.” Anyone who responded in a way that was not “pro-LGBT” was censored or bullied.

Even the district's Congressman attacked the parents:

The pro-LGBT crowd also posted a nasty petition attacking the parents and demanding that the DQSH event be brought back:

Unfortunately, DQSH has been interpreted as threatening by a small but vocal group of citizens, who, in their ignorance, have taken a children's event about gender identity, inclusiveness, and acceptance and conflated it with sexual identity, sex work, and pedophilia.

The petition has collected nearly 16,000 signatures, apparently from all over the world, but only 456 (as of this writing) are actually from Rye.

One pro-LGBT woman confronted a mother from the parents’ group and two of her children outside of their Catholic church (where they had been at Catechism class). The woman screamed at them about their opposition to the DQSH event. But the mother and her kids just walked away and refused to be intimidated.

They later found out that the woman who confronted them is one of the local LGBT leaders. She is a mental health counselor (!) who assists families in helping children to “transition” to the opposite sex (or “gender”). In other words, her activism is also her business.

The Rye Record article about the cancellation was branded as “homophobic” by the LGBT mob. According to parents, they not only attacked the editors, but threatened advertisers – and a number of them decided to delay or withdraw their advertising.

Library backs away from its original common-sense decision

On January 30, the library amended their cancellation. On a notice posted on the library website, the library director said that the February 8 event will not take place, but that it is instead being “delayed” – but was vague as to other details, saying that "it’s become clear we need to broaden the scope of the program and open a wider and more compassionate dialogue within the community." The library director also said that the library will work on LGBTQ+ programming for older kids and adults.

But of course, the LGBT movement was not satisfied. They want their full Drag Queen event with young children in the library right now!

The media deluge – national and local!

The national LGBT movement and their allies in the media (and everywhere else) are certainly well coordinated and work fast. It’s almost unbelievable!

On January 31, it all hit at once. It’s generally the same theme: denouncing the horror of this fine educational program being derailed by ignorant bigots.

Here are some examples of what was published that day:

• The Advocate – Prominent national homosexual news website: Drag Queen Story Hour Nixed Due to Anti-LGBTQ Outcry
• GLAAD – National LGBTQ+ advocacy organization: Free Reading Room Library in Rye, New York Indefinitely Postpones Drag Queen Story Hour After Backlash From Anti-LGBTQ Protesters
• New York Daily News – liberal mainstream media: Westchester community reacts to cancellation of Drag Queen Story Hour event
• American Libraries Magazine – pro-LGBT library journal: Small article quoting GLAAD.
• The Rye Record even piled on and printed this smarmy letter by the pro-LGBT Rye Human Rights Commission: What Drag Queen Story Hour Can Teach All of Us

It was as if the whole LGBTQ+ world was pouncing on them the same day! And of course, that’s what they wanted the people in Rye to think.

The parents fight back

But instead of cowering, the parents’ core group met and laid out their plan to fight back.

On Feb. 6, they got their letter published in the Rye Record, titled Library Needs to Regroup and Rethink its Programs. It showed that the parents were standing their ground on their demands that the program not come back.

That evening, John and others addressed the Rye City Council. He used his time to denounce the climate of fear being generated by vicious attacks, incivility, and bullying from the LGBT activists targeting the parents who simply disagree with their agenda. For all their loud cries of wanting tolerance, inclusion, and acceptance, John told the Council members, these people are themselves aggressively doing the exact opposite – and it’s hurting their entire town.

The next day, Feb. 7, the parents posted their own petition to gather support in the community to keep the Drag Queen event out of their library for good. Titled Stop Politicizing Children’s Programming at the Rye Library: Reject Drag Queen Story Hour, it lays out the arguments in logical and straightforward terms. It focused on attracting the signatures of local residents, unlike the LGBT petition which is going for worldwide numbers. So far, the parents’ petition has almost 1,000 signatures.

On February 8, the day the Drag Queen event was supposed to take place, parents gathered in front of the library and held signs and prayed – to show the town that they were not afraid of standing up in public. Some LGBT activists came by and tried to intimidate them, their efforts fell flat.

After the library gathering, the Rye Record published a link to the parents' petition in a prominent place. It was important psychologically because it showed the town that lots of people were standing up to this, and are not intimidated by the vicious attacks by the LGBT movement.

The town has not capitulated to the LGBT pressure!

In just about any other place, especially in liberal New York, the entire town would have capitulated to the LGBT pressure, especially with so much of it coming from powerful forces outside. But that isn’t happening.

The Rye Record published an article on Feb. 13 that captures the situation pretty well: Expanding the Community Conversation on Diversity. Its quotes from the library director. It also shows (as we’ve seen in so many other places) that it’s the radical pro-LGBT library staff that is behind the crusade to “educate” children on these perverted topics.

If more cities hired library staff who were not ideological and sexual activists, libraries would be the useful and enjoyable places they used to be. But it’s up to fearless and principled parents like John the others to stand up. This fight isn’t over, but it’s going in the right direction. We’ll keep you up do date on what happens!
