Crosstalk: September 27, 2017
The LGBT tidal wave is taking young children as its victims. In one school district, educational elites are forbidding parents from opting their 5 year old children out of transgender lessons. At another elementary school, the teacher made children recite a gender neutral version of the Declaration of Independence. Michigan is being sued for allowing Christian adoption agencies to place children in homes that have both a mother and a father and the latest movie in the Star Trek franchise is featuring an openly gay couple.
Joining Jim to discuss these and other related issues was Peter LaBarbera. Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality and is also a writer for Lifesitenews.com.
At Rocklin Academy in California, a teacher held a 'transition ceremony' before her class of 5 year olds. The ceremony featured a boy who went into the restroom and emerged wearing girls clothing with the teacher then identifying the youngster as a girl.
In response to this story, Peter noted that once you make the argument that homosexuality and gender confusion are 'civil rights', the next step is to teach those 'civil rights' and ultimately impose them. That's what we're seeing even at the level of very young children around the nation.
He pointed to 'straight' allies of the homosexual lobby who are often as radical and perhaps more-so than homosexual and transsexual activists. These allies are saying that this is what a child must learn and it's part of civil rights.
In the past you were born a boy or a girl. Today, according to the radical transgender lobby, you are assigned gender at birth as if it's subjective rather than objective.
Peter also informed listeners that when the homosexual lobby was first radicalized after the Stonewall riots in the 70's, gay activists were saying they didn't want to have anything to do with schools. Their movement was only about tolerance. However, look where we are today.
Then there's the issue of 'misgendering' which is to refer to someone according to their biological gender as opposed to their perceived gender. Peter believes this is what happens when the boundaries are removed. It wasn't going to remain just homosexuality; it's expanding outward and this expansion is taking place because as Peter noted, 'sin knows no boundaries'.
