A Canadian transgender activist filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario after a female-only beauty pageant barred them from participating because the activist still has male genitalia.
Self-identified female Jessica Yaniv, formerly known as Jonathan Yaniv, is demanding $10,000 in damages from Canada Galaxy Pageants for alleged “injury to dignity and feelings,” according to a <a href="https://www.jccf.ca/yaniv-targets-beauty-pageant-in-new-discrimination-complaint/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">press release</a> from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is representing the pageant.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Yaniv claims that in refusing to allow someone with male genitalia to participate in their &#8220;28 Years and Older&#8221; division, the pageant violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by discriminating against his gender identity and expression.
&#8220;Yaniv has male genitals and was born a biological male, but now self-identifies as female,&#8221; the release explained, adding:
<blockquote>In May 2019, Yaniv applied to be a contestant in the Pageant, and was tentatively accepted. Yaniv did not mention being transgender prior to applying. At the time, Canada Galaxy Pageants had a formal policy of accepting genetic females as contestants, but would still accept transgender females who had fully transitioned and no longer had male genitals. This policy was noted in all paperwork and on the website. The pageant’s policy has since been revised to include &#8220;genetic females and fully transitioned.&#8221;</blockquote>
The Justice Centre went on to say that because the girls in the pageant undress in a common area into which not even their fathers are allowed, they refused to allow Yaniv access upon learning he still has male genitalia.
Allison Kindle Pejovic, a lawyer with the Justice Centre, said, &#8220;Biological women and girls must continue to have the freedom to associate with other biological women and girls in activities that serve their unique interests and needs as females. Further, this beauty pageant has already made reasonable accommodations for fully transitioned transgender females without male genitals.&#8221;
“It is imperative that biological women and girls, and fully transitioned transgender females, have safe, secure female-only places where they won’t have to worry about seeing male genitals, or having individuals with male genitals looking at them,” Pejovic continued, adding, &#8220;For reasons of safety and security, it is imperative that biological women and girls, and fully transitioned transgender females, have spaces where they can associate free from the presence of individuals with male genitals. This is particularly so in situations where women and girls are exposed or vulnerable.&#8221;
Yaniv <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ricky-gervais-says-his-halloween-costume-will-be-brave-female-activist-jessica-yaniv" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">made headlines</a> last year for filing 16 complaints with the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal against a beauty salon after the female estheticians refused to wax Yaniv’s scrotum. The tribunal subsequently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-activist-loses-cases-against-female-estheticians-who-refused-to-wax-male-genitals" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">threw out</a> Yaniv&#8217;s complaints. As The Daily Wire reported:
<blockquote>[T]he <a href="https://www.jccf.ca/aestheticians-justified-in-refusing-to-handle-male-genitals-against-their-will-bc-human-rights-tribunal/">Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms</a>, which is representing five of the women being targeted by Yaniv, announced that the activist’s cases against their clients have been tossed by the BC Human Rights Tribunal. Moreover, Yaniv will be forced to pay $2,000 each to at least three of the women.
“The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) is pleased to announce that the BC Human Rights Tribunal has ruled in favour of home estheticians’ right to refuse to handle male genitalia against their will,” a press release from JCCF said, as highlighted by <a href="https://www.thepostmillennial.com/breaking-jessica-yaniv-loses-cases-against-women-who-wouldnt-wax-her-balls/">The Post Millennial</a>.
According to the group, the tribunal’s decision said that “human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax.” Moreover, it was noted that Yaniv “engaged in improper conduct” and “filed complaints for improper purposes.” The activist’s testimony, according to the ruling, was “disingenuous and self-serving,” and Yaniv was “evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself.”</blockquote>

Pope Francis came out in support of civil union laws for same-sex couples, according to a new documentary that premiered Wednesday in Rome.
&#8220;Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family,&#8221; Francis said in &#8220;Francesco,&#8221; a new film about his life and papacy, according to <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-francis-calls-for-civil-union-law-for-same-sex-couples-in-shift-from-vatican-stance-12462" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Catholic News Agency</a>. &#8220;They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it.&#8221;
“What we have to create is a civil union law,&#8221; the pope continued. &#8220;That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that.&#8221;
&#8220;Francesco,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.francescofilm.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">its website</a>, is &#8220;a film that shows us the world as it is today and a path to understanding a better future for tomorrow, through the remarkable work of Pope Francis. It is a search for hope, humanity, compassion, unity, and redemption inside the darkness of our times.&#8221; Its trailer highlights some of the pope&#8217;s comments on the coronavirus pandemic, the environment, and clerical sex abuse, as well as his oblique condemnation of President Donald Trump&#8217;s border wall as &#8220;not Christian.&#8221;
Francis has raised eyebrows before for making comments many believed departed from millennia-old teachings of the Catholic Church regarding homosexuality, though Pope Francis was merely outlining dogma in a more public way than his predecessors. A few months into his pontificate in 2013, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-23489702" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Francis noted that the Church makes a distinction</a> between homosexual acts, which he maintained are sinful, and homosexual orientation, which he said is not. Regarding the rumored &#8220;gay lobby&#8221; in the Vatican, Francis responded, &#8220;If a person is gay and seeks God and has goodwill, who am I to judge?&#8221;
&#8220;The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well,&#8221; Francis continued. &#8220;It says they should not be marginalized because of this but that they must be integrated into society.&#8221; He also condemned lobbying by the gay community or any community. &#8220;The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worse problem.&#8221;
Francis has nevertheless remained adamant that practicing gay men should not be priests. As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pope-francis-allegedly-displeased-on-the-subject-of-notoriously-liberal-pro-lgbt-priest-father-james-martin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Daily Wire reported</a>:
<blockquote>After months of seemingly avoiding the issue following the Pennsylvania grand jury report that alleged 300 predator priests molested (mostly male) victims over a 75-year period while church hierarchy covered it up, Pope Francis has given perhaps the harshest denunciation of his pontificate regarding homosexuality in the priesthood.
According to the New York Post, Pope Francis “unequivocally” stated over the weekend that “homosexual men should not be admitted into the Catholic clergy and gay priests should practice celibacy or leave the church.”
“There’s no room for that kind of affection,” Pope Francis said regarding same-sex attracted men in the priesthood.
Pope Francis made his remarks during an interview with Spanish priest Fernando Prado in which he referred to homosexuality in the priesthood as a “serious issue.”
“The issue of homosexuality is a very serious issue that must be adequately discerned from the beginning with the candidates,” Pope Francis said, according to The Guardian. “In our societies it even seems that homosexuality is fashionable and that mentality, in some way, also influences the life of the church.”
He continued: “This is something I am concerned about, because perhaps at one time it did not receive much attention.”</blockquote>

The WNBA has less support from the public than women’s soccer because society doesn’t perceive women basketball player’s as favorably as women soccer players, according to Seattle Storm player Sue Bird. 
During an interview with <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/17/sport/sue-bird-megan-rapinoe-wnba-spt-intl/index.html">CNN</a> on Saturday, Bird said that many soccer players tend to be “cute little white girls,” instead of tall, black, and gay like in women’s basketball, an argument recently made by her girlfriend, soccer star Megan Rapinoe. Bird, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, also suggested that the WNBA can’t simply replicate the marketing formula for professional women’s soccer.
“The problem is how society and how the outside world is willing to accept the cute girl next door, but not willing to accept or embrace or not judge these basketball players, who are tall, black, gay. That’s kind of, to me, where the issue is,” said Bird.
Bird was asked about the sport’s perception in light of a <a href="https://www.theplayerstribune.com/articles/megan-rapinoe-seattle-storm-wnba-finals">recent article</a> by Rapinoe, who argued that such differences in public opinion were due to racism and homophobia.
Ahead of the Seattle Storm’s 4th WNBA championship win, Rapinoe wrote:
<blockquote>This country has a deep history of racism, and a deep history of homophobia.
And if you look at the players in the W: Most of them are Black, and a lot of them are gay.
….
When it comes to U.S. women’s soccer, the general perception is that — let’s face it — we’re the white girls next door. The straight, “cute,” “unthreatening,” “suburban” white girls next door. It’s not actually who we are — the WNT’s racial diversity, though not yet where it needs to be, is improving every year. And, you know, breaking news….. I’m gay. But by and large, that’s the perception. And it’s certainly how we’re marketed to a lot of people.</blockquote>
Rapinoe, who has made a habit out of advocating for left-wing causes, wrote that society needs to be wary about considering support for women’s soccer a “breakthrough” in feminism because, as she suggests, the support only extends “to ‘white girls next door’ sports.”
“That’s not feminism — or at least it’s not the kind of feminism that I’m here for. I don’t have time for any kind of feminism that’s not real and total — from race to class to religion to gender identity to sexual orientation to everything in between,” wrote Rapinoe.
According to <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/25/video-wnbas-liberty-storm-leave-court-during-national-anthem/">the New York Post</a>, earlier in the season, players with the Seattle Storm and New York Liberty left the court ahead of the national anthem to protest the killing of Breonna Taylor.

After Judge Amy Coney Barrett used the phrase “sexual preference” during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Democrats rushed to condemn the term and claim it was outdated and “offensive.”
LGBT websites jumped on the phrase as well, when as recently as last month they didn’t seem to have any issue with the term.
On September 25, one of the leading LGBT publications, The Advocate, <a href="https://www.advocate.com/television/2020/9/25/kenny-ortega-cheyenne-jackson-julie-and-phantoms-gay-romance">published</a> an interview with the cast from “Julie and the Phantoms,” in which filmmaker Kenny Ortega, who directs the show and is openly gay, uses the term.
“To come from that history to be able to now, as a director, be telling these stories that aren’t even about coming out — that are about young people who are just comfortable with who they are, no matter what their sexual preference is. It’s just glorious and so satisfying,” Ortega said in the interview.
Nowhere in the article does anyone claim “sexual preference” is an offensive term. Yet, below the article are links to recent stories from the same publication, including a recent story claiming Barrett was “blasted” for using “anti-LGBTQ+ term ‘sexual preference.’”
Here’s what Barrett said when asked if she “would be a consistent vote to roll back hard-fought freedoms and protections for the LGBT community”:
“I do want to be clear that I have never discriminated on the basis of sexual preference and would not ever discriminate on the basis of sexual preference. Like racism, I think discrimination is abhorrent.”
The Advocate then claimed the “term ‘sexual preference,’ while accepted decades ago, is now considered inaccurate and offensive by LGBTQ+ people because of its implication that people choose their sexual orientation or gender identity.”
LOGOtv, a channel geared toward the LGBT community, on September 20 tweeted out an article from LGBT website NewNowNext with a quote from the article saying, “Now, I&#8217;m far more attracted to men than women, but who’s to say my sexual preference won’t sway again?&#8221; The channel made no claim that the phrase was offensive at that time.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
&#8220;Now, I&#8217;m far more attracted to men than women, but who’s to say my sexual preference won’t sway again?&#8221;
Your bi+ identity is your bi+ identity, and that bi+ identity is valid. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BiWeek?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BiWeek</a> <a href="https://t.co/51QaJuOS31">https://t.co/51QaJuOS31</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
On October 13, LOGOtv quote-tweeted MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin’s tweet alleging “sexual preference” was an “offensive term” and added a link to the channels “guide to Amy Coney Barrett’s anti-LGBTQ track record,” along with an angry emoji.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In addition to The Advocate and LOGOtv, British LGBT website Pink News also had no issue with the term in April 2019, when the outlet used a quote from a 21-year-old who <a href="https://apnews.com/5d753be39ed94466b4c61458a7befa81">told</a> the Associated Press: “Kissing someone is no crime. All we want is for there to be less divisions in this society, and no discrimination against people over their sexual preferences.”
Pink News did not at that time claim “sexual preference” was an offensive or outdated term.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/merriam-webster-suddenly-alters-definition-of-preference-after-dems-attack-coney-barrett">reported</a> Wednesday, the phrase “sexual preference” became offensive overnight after Barrett used it in one of her answers, for which she later apologized. Merriam-Webster dictionary updated its definition of the term to include the word “offensive,” even though last month the dictionary made no such distinction.
Further, many of the Democrats now attacking Barrett for the phrase <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-attack-coney-barrett-for-saying-sexual-preference-look-at-all-the-dems-plus-bader-ginsburg-who-said-sexual-preference">have used it themselves</a> in recent years, despite claiming it has been offensive for “decades.”
Sen. Mazie Hirono claimed on Tuesday that it was “an offensive and outdated term,” yet she used it herself in 2017. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden also used the phrase in May. Liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose death prompted Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, even used the phrase.
The Washington Free Beacon put together a video of various Democrats using the phrase:

In solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, Oreo released a special edition of rainbow cookies last Friday in partnership with PFLAG.
&#8220;Starting Oct. 9, the colored cream cookies, which will not be sold in stores, will be given away to the first 10,000 people to share on social media their idea of allyship,&#8221; reported <a href="https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/oreo-debuts-limited-edition-rainbow-cookies-in-support-of-lgbtq-community/">KTLA</a>. &#8220;The cookie giveaway is part of Oreo and PFLAG’s <a href="https://pflag.org/ProudParent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Proud Parent</a> campaign, &#8216;a year-long initiative designed to shine a spotlight on the powerful impact love &amp; acceptance can have on LGBTQ+ youth.'&#8221;
In a <a href="https://mondelez.promo.eprize.com/oreopride/">statement</a>, PFLAG National Executive Director Brian K. Bond praised Oreo for the partnership while emphasizing the importance of LGBT affirmation.
&#8220;Having a supportive, affirming family—and committed allies—is crucial for the health and wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people,&#8221; said Bond. &#8220;We are grateful for our partnership with OREO, and for OREO&#8217;s commitment to our shared vision of a diverse and inclusive world, made better by loving, proud parents and allies.&#8221;
In association with the rainbow cookies, Oreo also launched a short film called &#8220;Proud Parent,&#8221; which explores an LGBTQ relationship between two women.
&#8220;This new film shows the love between Jen and Amy, exploring parent-child relationships, and the challenges of bringing a partner home for the first time – especially for the LGBTQ+ community. The film highlights the true importance of family love, support, and affirmation,&#8221; <a href="https://pflag.org/PROUDPARENT">PFLAG said</a> on its website. &#8220;The #ProudParent platform is our partnership with OREO, aimed at empowering and inspiring parents, families, and allies of LGBT to come out in loud, public support. Because every time a parent comes out in support of their child they inspire others to do the same – making the world a more accepting, affirming, and compassionate place.&#8221;
This past Sunday, the LGBTQ+ community celebrated National Coming Out Day, which raises awareness about people &#8220;coming out of the closet.&#8221; Even the NFL joined in on the festivities with its own <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9P5qOYgAAs">National Coming Out Day PSA</a> featuring openly gay and bisexual former players such as Ryan O&#8217;Callaghan, Jeff Rohrer, R.K. Russell, and Wade Davis. Simultaneously, NFL Executive Vice President Troy Vincent <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/op-ed-the-nfl-is-ready-for-its-first-openly-out-active-player" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">said in an op-ed </a>on the league&#8217;s website encouraging more LGBTQ players to come out.
&#8220;There has never been a single active player that has come out,&#8221; Vincent wrote. &#8220;While I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve played with LGBTQ+ players &#8212; highly skilled, athletic and effective at their jobs &#8212; they did not come out. But they were my teammates and part of the larger NFL family.&#8221;
&#8220;Anyone in the player community who may be considering coming out, know this,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Just as I have done with family members and close friends, I am committed to serving as a conduit to help you through that journey &#8212; either myself, in collaboration with my teammates at the league office, or through the many organizations with whom we partner on LGBTQ+ issues.&#8221;

This past weekend, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law which requires state prisons to house transgender inmates based on the gender with which they identify. During the intake process, officers must now ask inmates — in private — if they identity as transgender, nonbinary or intersex. Those who wish to do so can then request to be placed in a facility which houses the gender of their choice. 
According to The <a href="https://apnews.com/article/prisons-gender-identity-california-gavin-newsom-archive-14cd954b06360d21349b77233318369e">Associated Press</a>, the law says the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation cannot deny such requests solely because of “inmates’ anatomy, sexual orientation or ‘a factor present’ among other inmates at the facility.” The state does have the power to deny a request if it has “management or security concerns.”
The bill was authored by Democratic California State Senator Scott Wiener, who also introduced the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haworth-false-equality-new-california-law-places-more-children-at-risk">controversial bill</a> SB-145, which “exempts from mandatory registration under the act a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor and if that offense is the only one requiring the person to register.”
Sen. Wiener said that he didn’t expect this “management or security concerns” exception to be used very often, saying “It’s just a false narrative about transgender people and about transgender women in particular that they’re somehow not really women and are just trying to scam their way into women’s bathrooms or facilities in order to do bad things,” and that “Overwhelmingly the people who are being victimized are trans people.”
Firstly, it’s important to acknowledge that transgender people are certainly subject to increased levels of victimization in prison systems, and protections should be put in place to provide for their safety while in the custody of the state. However, the fact that transgender people are victimized does not justify the full embrace of the demands of the transgender movement with a complete disregard for any potential consequences.
Sen. Wiener’s claim that it&#8217;s &#8220;just a false narrative about transgender people and about transgender women in particular that they’re somehow not really women and are just trying to scam their way into women’s bathrooms or facilities in order to do bad things” includes several fundamental flaws. Firstly, transgender women are not biological women, by definition. Legislation based on concrete issues like biological sex cannot be presented as objective if they are built upon subjective and scientifically disputed notions. Secondly, while it is certainly untrue to claim that every transgender woman is “trying to scam their way into women’s bathrooms or facilities in order to do bad things,” it is utterly naive to draw the invalid conclusion that such a risk does not exist.
The brutal fact is that prisons house people who have broken the law. Sometimes, the laws broken involve violence against others. Sometimes, the laws broken involve sexual violence. Wiener is assuming good intent among those who have demonstrated a willingness to break the law and harm others.
When Democrats approach issues, they routinely use the argument “if it could save one person.” By that logic, we should ban so-called “assault weapons” if it saves just one life, and we should enforce a national COVID-19 lockdown if it saves just one life. However, if they assume that premise, why do they cheer for legislation which will likely lead to an avoidable victimization of at least one person? More specifically, why do they cheer for legislation which will put at least one vulnerable woman at risk?
The reason why they cheer is that Democrats have made a choice. This choice involves the latest step in their rejection of true feminism in favor of an LGBTQ+ agenda. The fact that feminism and transgenderism are in many ways antithetical is irrelevant. The fact that women continue to be one of the most victimized groups in our society is irrelevant. The fact that some men who think they are women will likely abuse this system to place themselves among vulnerable women is irrelevant. What matters is “progress,” regardless of how truly regressive such progress is.
Just like SB-145, this legislation claims to protect today’s “victims.” The abandonment of yesterday’s victims is a price the Democrats are all too willing to pay.

Violent rioters, identified by journalists as allegedly being far-left Antifa, attacked a car with a dog inside on Saturday in what was just one of a number of violent acts carried out by the fringe activists.
Journalist Andy Ngo, who recently testified in front of the U.S. Senate on Antifa, wrote that the attack happened in Philadelphia: &#8220;Antifa black bloc militants smash up a car that has a dog in the back. Far-left rioters gathered today to oppose a right-wing event at Clark Park.&#8221;

&#8220;Attorney General William Barr reportedly told U.S. federal prosecutors during a conference call last week that they needed to be aggressive in charging the violent rioters terrorizing American cities, adding that prosecutors should consider going after them for plotting to overthrow the U.S. government,&#8221; The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ag-barr-orders-feds-to-crackdown-on-violent-rioters-including-pursuing-sedition-charges-report">reported</a>. &#8220;The conference call comes as the U.S. is just weeks away from the upcoming November elections, which Barr warned could spark even more violent riots than the ones that have already caused billions of dollars in damage.&#8221;
A recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-has-overwhelming-intel-that-portland-violence-organized-by-violent-antifa-anarchists-leaked-email-says">leaked email</a> from a top DHS official said that the department had  “overwhelming intelligence” that the extremist violence in Portland was “organized” by individuals with an ideology categorized as “Violent Antifa Anarchist Inspired” (VAAI).
The Daily Wire added: &#8220;One step that the feds have taken to get around local leftist prosecutors who are dropping many of the charges against those charged during the violent riots was deputizing police in Oregon so that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oregon-state-police-now-federally-deputized-giving-us-attorney-power-to-prosecute-portland-rioters-even-if-da-wont">federal charges</a> could be sought against those who might escape local charges.&#8221;

Lifetime has taken LGBT representation to the next level by casting a real married gay couple in the lead roles for its first LGBT-themed holiday movie this year.
In a <a href="https://www.aenetworks.com/article/lifetime-releases-casting-for-the-christmas-setup-and-a-sugar-spice-holiday">press release</a> on Monday, the channel announced its &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Lifetime&#8221; holiday movie slate, chief among them being &#8220;The Christmas Setup&#8221; starring actors Ben Lewis and Blake Lee, who are both married in real life. The movie will also be written and directed by members of the LGBTQ community.
&#8220;Known for filling the screen with fun, romantic, inclusive and relatable movies, the network announced today the casting for &#8216;The Christmas Setup&#8217;–the network’s first holiday movie with a lead LGBTQ storyline, written and directed by members of the LGBTQ community, and featuring two gay lead actors who are married in real life,&#8221; said the announcement.
Furthermore, Lifetime will also be featuring its first Asian-American family with the movie &#8220;Sugar &amp; Spice Holiday&#8221; directed, written, and cast by Asians.
Amy Winter, EVP and Head of Programming, Lifetime and LMN, said the channel&#8217;s holiday programming should reflect the world &#8220;we live in.&#8221;
“The world we create on camera should reflect the world we live in,&#8221; said Winter. &#8220;&#8216;The Christmas Setup&#8217; and &#8216;A Sugar &amp; Spice Holiday&#8217; are important additions to the &#8216;It’s a Wonderful Lifetime&#8217; slate because they continue our effort to tell the stories of the diverse communities represented by our viewers. Our hope with these inclusive films and others is that people will see themselves while enjoying universally relatable holiday romances.”
Lifetime billed &#8220;The Christmas Setup&#8221; as a &#8220;feel-good LGBTQ holiday romance&#8221; that will also star Fran Drescher (&#8220;The Nanny&#8221;).
&#8220;&#8216;The Christmas Setup&#8217; follows the story of New York lawyer Hugo (Lewis) who heads to Milwaukee with his best friend Madelyn (Wong) to spend the holidays with his mom Kate (Drescher), who is also in charge of the local Christmas celebrations,&#8221; said the announcement. &#8220;Ever the matchmaker, Kate arranges for Hugo to run into Patrick (Lee), Hugo’s high school friend and secret crush, who has recently returned after a successful stint in Silicon Valley. As they enjoy the local holiday festivities together, Hugo and Patrick’s attraction to each other is undeniable and it looks as though Kate’s Santa-style matchmaking is a success. But as Hugo receives word of a big promotion requiring a move to London, he must decide what is most important to him.&#8221;
This past August, the Hallmark Channel featured its first same-sex wedding after igniting controversy among its fanbase last Christmas when it aired an ad from the wedding company Zola that showed a lesbian kiss. Though Hallmark initially pulled the ad, the company immediately backtracked on its decision after facing an online backlash. In the subsequent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hallmark-channel-apologizes-will-allow-lgbt-ads-promises-to-work-with-glaad">apology</a>, Hallmark promised that it would work with the organization GLAAD to better foster a culture of inclusivity in its programming.

According to polling from a queer dating app, a stunning 45% of queer American men are backing President Donald Trump.
A survey conducted by international queer dating app Hornet found that 45% of about 1,200 queer American male respondents said they plan to vote for Trump this election.
Hornet <a href="https://hornet.com/about/hornet-asked-10000-gay-men-to-weigh-in-on-the-upcoming-u-s-election-donald-trump/">outlined</a>: &#8220;Of the 10,000 men Hornet surveyed, 12% identified themselves as U.S. citizens. Of those 1,200 American men, 51% answered they would be voting for Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election, while 45% — just shy of one-half — said they would be casting their ballot for Donald Trump.&#8221;
&#8220;Queer,&#8221; once a derogatory term for gay men, is now largely knows as an identifier for people with sexual preferences or &#8220;identities&#8221; outside of being &#8220;cis-gender&#8221; and/or heterosexual.
&#8220;Queer men have always voted reliably Democratic. Until now,&#8221; LGBT site Pink News <a href="https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/09/15/donald-trump-joe-biden-2020-us-presidential-elections-vote-queer-men-hornet/">said</a> Tuesday.
The site lamented the polling in a Twitter headline condemning Trump-backing queer men for abandoning their &#8220;morals.&#8221;
&#8220;Queer men to forgo their morals this November with a thumping 45 per cent vowing to back Donald Trump,&#8221; the outlet complained.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Globally, Hornet found that 66% of their respondents preferred Biden, while 34% backed Trump.
&#8220;Just less than half of queer men said they do not support Trump, and a slither of just 11 per cent said they generally disagree with his stances,&#8221; the report said. &#8220;Only 10 per cent emphatically said they do not support him &#8216;at all&#8217; and would not vote for him regardless.&#8221;
The report noted, &#8220;Mapping out support for Trump, the poll found that across Hornet’s global 10,000 users, queer men on almost every continent other than Africa supported Biden more than Trump, across a spawning margin of 54 to 25 per cent.&#8221;
Taiwan and Russia were the two countries found to show queer male support in favor of Trump over Biden, Pink News noted.
Last month, former Acting Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell, who is openly gay, declared in a Log Cabin Republicans video that “President Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history.&#8221;
“My name is Ric Grenell. I’m America’s first openly gay cabinet member,&#8221; Grenell said in the video, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ric-grenell-targets-lgbt-community-trump-most-pro-gay-president-in-american-history-i-can-prove-it">The Daily Wire</a> reported. &#8220;As a United States senator, Joe Biden said gay people couldn’t receive security clearances because we would be a security risk. Joe must have been terrified when Donald Trump appointed me as Acting Director of National Intelligence. The fact that I’m gay didn’t even faze Donald Trump; Joe Biden certainly didn’t congratulate the appointment or even acknowledge it. But his silence was deafening.”
“President Trump has done more to advance the rights of gays and lesbians in three years than Joe Biden did in forty-plus years in Washington,” Grenell added. “For four decades, Joe Biden has attacked the LGBT community; as a U.S. senator, Biden supported ‘Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell’ and the Defense of Marriage Act. Biden voted to cut off federal funds to any school that teaches acceptance of homosexuality. Biden said again and again that he was against marriage equality.”

On Tuesday, protesters outside City Hall in Rochester, New York, replaced the American flag with Black Lives Matter and LGBT flags, as they demanded resignations from top city officials, including Democrat Mayor Lovely Warren.
At times violent protesting and rioting have broken out in the city over the death of Daniel Prude, a black male who died back in March, about a week after an interaction with the Rochester Police Department (RPD).
&#8220;Protesters started at the Public Safety Building and then marched to City Hall. They’re now sitting and blocking the doors of City Hall,&#8221; Spectrum News journalist Brianna Hamblin reported Tuesday. &#8220;Protesters have replaced two flags at City Hall with a BLM flag and a LGBTQ flag.&#8221;

Following the American flag&#8217;s removal, one Rochester elder pushed back, emphasizing the importance that protesters identify as Americans.
&#8220;People are having a pretty heated argument now about taking down the American flag,&#8221; Hamblin captioned the video.
&#8220;We all are Americans,&#8221; the elder yells to the crowd. &#8221; &#8230; We are not fighting against each other. This s*** (pointing to the BLM and LGBT flags) is no good! We are fighting for two flags: Black Lives Matter and the American flag.&#8221;
As the man passionately makes his argument for the American flag, he screams at a fellow protester who is talking over him: &#8220;Shut up!&#8221; The younger protester&#8217;s comments are generally indecipherable.
&#8220;The fight dispersed and most people went back to their spots on City Hall’s steps. Like I said on [Spectrum News], they plan to stay there until their demands are met,&#8221; Hamblin later reported.

Aside from the demand that Mayor Warren resign, protesters have also demanded the resignation of Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley.
Doorley has made it clear she will not be cowed into resignation.

Prude died back in March, during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. An autopsy report from the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">according</a> to WXXI News, listed Prude’s cause of death as “complications of asphyxia in the setting of physical restraint due to excited delirium due to acute phencyclidine intoxication,’ an indication that Prude might have been high on PCP.”
The news outlet <a href="https://www.wxxinews.org/post/daniel-prude-was-suffocated-rochester-police-his-family-says">highlighted</a> that police reports indicate Prude had apparently “gone on a destructive tear,” “smashing out the windows of several storefronts, and ranting about having the coronavirus” before the police came in contact with him.
Last week, RPD Chief La’Ron Singletary and his entire command staff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-entire-rochester-command-force-police-chief-resign-over-daniel-prude-case">resigned</a>.
“As a man of integrity, I will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character,” said the announcement from Singletary, <a href="https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/rpd-chief-larsquoron-singletary-retires-amid-protests/5855709/">according</a> to News 10 WHEC. “The events over the past week are an attempt to destroy my character and integrity. The members of the Rochester Police Department and the Greater Rochester Community know my reputation and know what I stand for.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law last week that would allow a young adult who has gay sex with a minor to escape registering as a sex offender in some cases, based on a judge’s discretion.
SB145, which was first introduced into the California State Legislature in January 2019 by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), finally passed the 40-member state Senate by <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a vote of 23-10</a>, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-state-senate-passes-bill-that-could-alter-sex-offender-registration-for-gay-sex-with-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Daily Wire reported</a>.
Proponents of the legislation such as Wiener claim the law, which provides a judge more leeway in statutory rape cases involving non-vaginal forms of sex, rectifies California&#8217;s historical discrimination against the LGBTQ community. Under SB145, if a young adult has gay sex with a minor 14 or older who is less than 10 years younger, a judge will have the discretion whether to place the individual on the sex offender registry.
As the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-bill-eliminating-sex-offender-list-15529263.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">San Francisco Chronicle explained</a>, “Under current law, a judge can decide whether to place a man who has vaginal intercourse with an underage teenage girl on the sex offender registry based on the facts of the case. But if anal or oral sex, or vaginal penetration with anything other than a penis is involved, the adult must register as a sex offender[.]”
&#8220;I am so grateful that Governor Newsom — one of the LGBTQ community’s strongest allies ever — once again has shown that he’s willing to support our community when it’s hard. And make no mistake: the politics here are hard, with the massive Trump, QAnon and MAGA misinformation campaign against the legislation,&#8221; Wiener said, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-no-longer-felony-knowingly-expose-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">also introduced the 2017 bill</a> that made knowingly exposing a partner to HIV no longer a felony. &#8220;The facts are clear: SB 145 simply ends anti-LGBTQ discrimination. Today, California took yet another step toward an equitable society.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Proving again he‘s a true champion for the LGBTQ community — even when it’s hard — Gov Newsom signed <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SB145?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SB145</a>, ending discrimination against LGBTQ young people on CA’s sex offender registry.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Weiner has before blamed alleged <a href="https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20200807-california-state-senator-introduced-bill-pushing-lgbtq-equality%E2%80%94and-qanon-mob-came-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">QAnon conspiracy theorists</a> for sending many of the threats against him and accusing him of trying to legalize pedophilia. “I’ve been the subject of death threats and personal attacks, threatening to decapitate me and send my head to my mother,” Wiener said during an online news conference last month. “This kind of slander, not just against me but against my community, is outrageous and we have to speak out against it.”
The new law did not meet with full-throated support from the California State Legislature, which passed the Assembly and Senate on split votes, <a href="https://abc7news.com/6420294/?ex_cid=TA_KGO_FB&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to local ABC7</a>. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) said, “I cannot in my mind as a mother understand how sex between a 24-year-old and a 14-year-old could ever be consensual, how it could ever not be a registrable offense. We should never give up on this idea that children should be in no way subject to a predator.”

The California State Senate passed a controversial reform to its sex offender registry Monday that would allow a young adult who has gay sex with a minor to escape registering in some cases, based on a judge&#8217;s discretion.
SB145 finally passed the 40-member state Senate by <a href="http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a vote of 23-10</a>, after first being <a href="https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20190122-senator-wiener-introduces-legislation-end-discrimination-against-lgbt-people-regarding" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">introduced</a> by California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) in 2019, according to the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-bill-eliminating-sex-offender-list-15529263.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">San Francisco Chronicle</a>.
Wiener argued that the current law discriminates against LGBT youth because, as the Chronicle explained, &#8220;Under current law, a judge can decide whether to place a man who has vaginal intercourse with an underage teenage girl on the sex offender registry based on the facts of the case. But if anal or oral sex, or vaginal penetration with anything other than a penis is involved, the adult must register as a sex offender[.]&#8221;
Under SB145, if a young adult has gay sex with a minor 14 or older who is less than 10 years younger, a judge will have the discretion whether to place the individual on the sex offender registry.
&#8220;This eliminates discrimination against LGBTQ youth in our criminal justice system,&#8221; Wiener said.
The bill&#8217;s passage was a victory for Wiener, who had been trying in recent weeks to salvage it before the end of the legislative session. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-state-senator-fights-for-bill-that-could-alter-sex-offender-registration-for-gay-sex-with-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a>:
<blockquote>According to <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Scott-Wiener-tries-to-salvage-bill-fixing-15482729.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The San Francisco Chronicle</a>, California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) is using the last few weeks of the legislative session to mobilize support for <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SB145</a>, a bill he introduced last year that stalled in a key committee. The legislation would allow “judges discretion over sex-offender registration in all cases involving voluntary intercourse between teenagers ages 14 to 17, who cannot legally consent, and adults who are less than 10 years older.&#8221;</blockquote>
“It makes no sense,&#8221; Wiener told <a href="https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sex-offender-registration-reform-effort-prompts-death-threats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The San Francisco Examiner</a> of the present statute. &#8220;It disproportionately impacts LGBTQ people because LGBTQ people are far less likely to be engaging in penile, vaginal intercourse.&#8221;
Wiener was also the state senator who introduced the bill that made knowingly exposing a partner to HIV no longer a felony in 2017, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-no-longer-felony-knowingly-expose-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> by The Daily Wire.
Janice Bellucci, executive director of the Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws (ACSOL) that supported the bill, said in a Monday <a href="https://all4consolaws.org/2020/09/ca-legislature-passes-senate-bill-145/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">press release</a>, &#8220;Senate Bill 145 has been controversial since its introduction. Due to the dedication of its author, Senator Scott Wiener, Senate Bill 145 was passed over the objections of the Appropriations Committee chair and despite multiple threats of physical harm.&#8221;
Weiner singled out alleged <a href="https://sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/20200807-california-state-senator-introduced-bill-pushing-lgbtq-equality—and-qanon-mob-came-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">QAnon conspiracy theorists</a> for sending many of the threats against him and accusing him of trying to legalize pedophilia. &#8220;I’ve been the subject of death threats and personal attacks, threatening to decapitate me and send my head to my mother,” Wiener said during an online news conference last month. “This kind of slander, not just against me but against my community, is outrageous and we have to speak out against it.&#8221;

With the presidential election approaching and celebrities continuing to weigh in on the state of the country, Grammy-winning singer Kacey Musgraves has also decided to lend her voice to the anti-Trump movement.
In a tweet on Friday evening, Musgraves shared an image with a rainbow-colored background and a declaration that anyone planning to vote for President Donald Trump in November is actually committing a form of violence against the LGBT community.
“If you love an LGBTQ+ person and you’re planning on voting for Donald Trump in November, that’s an act of violence against them,” she said.
Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who was also the first openly gay cabinet member in the Trump administration, hammered Musgraves for tokenizing people on behalf of the Left.
“Twitter should ban this piece of fake news. This isn’t remotely correct. Stop making gay rights a partisan issue, Kacey! You aren’t helping gay people one bit,” Grenell responded in his own tweet. “We aren’t tokens.”

When Grenell was ambassador to Germany, he spearheaded a global effort to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-launches-effort-end-criminalization-hank-berrien">end the criminalization of homosexuality</a> in 70 countries, including in the handful of countries where homosexuality is punishable by death.
“Barbaric public executions are all too common in a country where consensual homosexual relationships are criminalized and punishable by flogging and death,” Grenell, then the ambassador to Germany, wrote in the <a href="https://www.bild.de/politik/kolumnen/kolumne/ambassador-grenell-the-hanging-of-a-gay-man-in-iran-should-be-a-wakeup-call-59900136.bild.html">German newspaper</a> Bild, after a 31-year-old gay man was hanged in Iran.
Grenell also argued that “politicians, the U.N., democratic governments, diplomats and good people everywhere should speak up — and loudly” against such policies.
Prior to Grenell’s departure from the Trump administration, <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2020/03/06/the-historic-lgbt-trump-appointment-that-got-overshadowed/">the Brookings Institute</a>, a left-leaning think tank, argued that the historic nature of his appointment had been overshadowed in media coverage over concerns that he was a “political loyalist.”
Back in 2018, when then-Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo was undergoing the confirmation process, he told Senate lawmakers: “I deeply believe that LGBTQ persons have every right that every other person in the world would have,&#8221; as The Daily Wire previously reported.
In attacking the Trump administration as anti-LGBT, many Democrats will cite the conservative opposition to the Equality Act last year. However, as written, the Equality Act would have prohibited loosely defined public accommodations from discriminating on the basis of “sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity,” with no room for any religious exceptions. 
As <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/05/20/lgbtq-equality-act-fails-fair-religious-freedom-provisions-accommodation-column/3731197002/">USA Today</a> contributor Brad Polumbo noted of the Equality Act in an opinion column last year: &#8220;Our laws can mandate that secular employers and public venues treat LGBT people fairly, yet also maintain exceptions for bona fide religious claims. This is what true equality would look like — and notably, you won’t find it anywhere in the so-called Equality Act.&#8221;

An English professor at Iowa State University changed her syllabus after it became public that she threatened to dismiss students who voiced opposition to gay marriage, abortion, or Black Lives Matter.
After explaining how the class will explore &#8220;monster theory,&#8221; Professor Chloe Clark issued a &#8220;GIANT WARNING&#8221; to the students in her English 250 class, according to the <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/iowa-state-professor-threatens-to-dismiss-pro-life-anti-blm-students-from-her-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">syllabus</a> obtained by Young America&#8217;s Foundation (YAF):
<blockquote>This class will include many discussions about these subjects (and the texts we use) and, thus, participation will be a large factor in the class. GIANT WARNING: any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom. The same goes for any papers/projects: you cannot choose any topic that takes at its base that one side doesn’t deserve the same basic human rights as you do (ie: no arguments against gay marriage, abortion, Black Lives Matter, etc). I take this seriously.</blockquote>
YAF wrote in a blog post, &#8220;This bigoted behavior from a public university professor is truly unbecoming. This blatant discrimination against conservative students, in particular those who are pro-life or oppose the Marxist BLM organization cannot stand at an institution of higher learning.&#8221;
&#8220;This is just the latest instance of leftists corrupting the practice of higher education YAF has exposed. Warning students that any opinion the professor may disagree with could be grounds for dismissal from the classroom is a gross abuse of power,&#8221; YAF added.
After the syllabus went viral, Iowa State University voiced its disapproval of Clark&#8217;s behavior:
<blockquote>The syllabus statement as written was inconsistent with the university’s standards and its commitment to the First Amendment rights of students. After reviewing this issue with the faculty member, the syllabus has been corrected to ensure it is consistent with university policy. Moreover, the faculty member is being provided additional information regarding the First Amendment policies of the university.
Iowa State is firmly committed to protecting the First Amendment rights of its students, faculty, and staff. With respect to student expression in the classroom, including the completion of assignments, the university does not take disciplinary action against students based on the content or viewpoints expressed in their speech.</blockquote>
Spencer Brown, a spokesman for YAF said, &#8220;It is hopeful news to see a university take the side of the First Amendment and the free expression rights of its students—still, it is shameful that a faculty member ran so far afoul of basic educational practice and the Constitution that such a retraining of this kind is necessary.&#8221;
&#8220;Based on what we at YAF see and hear from our student activists, many administrators and professors could use a refresher on the First Amendment as the fall semester begins.”
Iowa State University College Republicans president Ryan Hurley told <a href="https://freebeacon.com/campus/professor-prohibits-students-from-criticizing-abortion-and-black-lives-matter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Washington Free Beacon</a>, &#8220;[Clark] is not out of the ordinary. Many professors do these sorts of things and have these heavy left biases. I am also certain that if [articles about the syllabus] hadn&#8217;t come out and gotten attention, [Clark] would not have faced any university pushback.&#8221;

Thom Brenneman, the longtime broadcaster for the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, was suspended in the middle of the Reds game against the Kansas City Royals Wednesday night after he was caught on a hot mic using an anti-gay slur, apparently to describe Kansas City, Missouri.
Brenneman, who works for Fox Sports Ohio, was caught on a hot mic uttering, &#8220;one of the f*g capitals of the world,&#8221; as the first game of the Reds&#8217; double-header returned from a commercial break, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/us/cincinnati-reds-broadcaster-thom-brennaman-anti-gay-slur-spt-trnd/index.html">according to CNN</a>. The mic did not capture the context of Brenneman&#8217;s remark.
Video of Brennaman&#8217;s use of the slur quickly went viral and he was suspended before the start of the second game, something Brennaman says he anticipated.
Brennaman apologized before he went off the air.
&#8220;I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of,&#8221; he said during a call at the top of the fifth inning, in between noting a home run. &#8220;If I have hurt anyone out there, I can&#8217;t tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I&#8217;m so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith.&#8221;
I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m going to be putting on this headset again,&#8221; Brennaman added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to be for the Reds. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s going to be for my bosses at Fox.&#8221;
&#8220;I want to apologize for the people who sign my paycheck, for the Reds, for Fox Sports Ohio, for the people I work with. For anybody that I&#8217;ve offended here tonight, I can&#8217;t begin to tell you how deeply sorry I am,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;That is not who I am and never has been, and I&#8217;d like to think maybe I could have some people that can back that up. I am very, very sorry and I beg for your forgiveness.&#8221;
Brennaman then disappeared during the break between the first and second games. The Reds issued a statement saying they&#8217;d pulled him off the air and that he had been suspended. <a href="https://twitter.com/FOXSportsCincy/status/1296297841133002760">Fox Sports Ohio later tweeted</a> that they supported the Reds decision and will be following their lead on the issue: &#8220;The language that Thom Brennaman used this evening is hateful, offensive, and in no way reflects the values of FOX Sports Ohio. We agree with the @Reds decision to suspend him until further notice.&#8221;
In a statement released after the second game, Brennaman again asked for forgiveness.
&#8220;I would like to sincerely apologize for the inappropriate comments I made during last night&#8217;s telecast. I made a terrible mistake. To the LGBTQ community, and all people I have hurt or offended, from the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry. I respectfully ask for your grace and forgiveness.&#8221;
For now, Brennaman&#8217;s suspension is open-ended.

https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2020/08/GettyImages-1140512671-scaled.jpg

On Wednesday, the Log Cabin Republicans released a video of former Acting Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell in which he stated bluntly, “President Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history. I can prove it.”
Grenell began by immediately targeting former Vice President Joe Biden, as he stated, “My name is Ric Grenell. I’m America’s first openly gay cabinet member. As a United States senator, Joe Biden said gay people couldn’t receive security clearances because we would be a security risk. Joe must have been terrified when Donald Trump appointed me as Acting Director of National Intelligence. The fact that I’m gay didn’t even faze Donald Trump; Joe Biden certainly didn’t congratulate the appointment or even acknowledge it. But his silence was deafening.”
“President Trump has done more to advance the rights of gays and lesbians in three years than Joe Biden did in forty-plus years in Washington,” Grenell continued. “For four decades, Joe Biden has attacked the LGBT community; as a U.S. senator, Biden supported ‘Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell’ and the Defense of Marriage Act. Biden voted to cut off federal funds to any school that teaches acceptance of homosexuality. Biden said again and again that he was against marriage equality.”
The video showed Biden answering, “No,” when asked if he supported gay marriage, and another clip of Biden saying, “Marriage is between a man and a woman.”
Grenell, noting Biden’s history of taking whatever political position was convenient at the time, asserted, “And now, well, now that we’ve made progress, Joe Biden has changed his mind.”
“I know firsthand that President Trump is the strongest ally that gay Americans have ever had in the White House. Donald Trump is the first president in American history to be pro-gay marriage from his first day in office,” Grenell went on before pointing out the mistreatment of the LGBT community worldwide and Trump’s role in combating it.
<blockquote>President Trump knew I was gay when he appointed me to one of the most prestigious and powerful ambassadorships in the world. As Ambassador to Germany, President Trump fully supported our fight to crush the homophobic and barbaric Islamic terrorist organization Hezbollah and the Iranian regime that supports them. While President Trump was denying the homophobic regime money, the Obama-Biden team was giving them billions of dollars. Joe Biden not only admits it, he says he’ll do it again if elected president.
President Trump began a historic campaign to decriminalize homosexuality around the globe at the United Nations, where he publicly challenged the 69 countries who make being gay a crime to change their laws. Gays and lesbians can be put to death in nine countries just for being who we are. So why did Joe Biden fail to make this issue a priority in his more than 40 years in Washington? He’s never answered this question.</blockquote>
Grenell segued to why the LGBT community should not bow to the demands of the leftists who demand their acquiescence: “This is why I believe we need President Trump in office for another four years, and I’m certainly not the only one. There are millions of patriotic gay Americans who are sick of being told to sit down and shut up by those who want to control us; those who are afraid of our voice; those who want to keep equality a partisan issue. They tell us our opinions don’t matter because we don’t subscribe to their groupthink. They try to bully us into silence, but in my experience, proud gay people don’t like to be silent. They like to be loud.&#8221;
&#8220;Yesterday’s champions of &#8216;diversity&#8217; are today’s intolerants,&#8221; he stated.
Grenell concluded, “Well, I love this country and I’m not going to be silent. There are tens of thousands of gay conservatives just like me who also won’t be silent. Gay people don’t have to vote Democrat because Donald Trump is the most pro-gay president in American history.”

Disney confirmed its cartoon about a teenage girl who takes up witchcraft after stumbling into the demon realm is the first to feature a lead character who is bisexual.
The protagonist of &#8220;The Owl House&#8221; is 14-year-old Dominican-American girl Luz Noceda, who reportedly expressed interest in male characters at some point but has since expressed interest in females, according to several <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/owl-house-makes-history-disney-s-first-bisexual-lead-character-n1236947" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sources</a>. The show is about Noceda&#8217;s adventure in becoming a witch, despite having no magical powers.
Show creator Dana Terrace, whose <a href="https://twitter.com/DanaTerrace/status/1292327747944099840" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pinned tweet</a> as of Monday is &#8220;Anyway, be gay do witchcraft,&#8221; said she has long had the intention to feature queer children in the cast of the show and used a recent episode about Luz going to prom as revealing the character&#8217;s sexuality. Terrace identifies as bisexual.
&#8220;In dev I was very open about my intention to put queer kids in the main cast,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;I&#8217;m a horrible liar so sneaking it in would&#8217;ve been hard haha. When we were greenlit I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could NOT represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the Channel.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m bi! I want to write a bi character, dammit! Luckily my stubbornness paid off and now I am VERY supported by current Disney leadership,&#8221; she added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
When I was first developing Owl House I always wanted to do a prom episode to make up for my own experiences. Back then PROM was an anagram for &quot;Perennial Ritual Offering Maiden&quot;.

Spencer Wan, who was a former animation supervisor for the show, tweeted the original storyboard for the dance scene between Luz and Amity, writing that it was his “first time getting to do anything even remotely queer.”
&#8220;The storyboards for the dance,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;This was a collaboration between Hayley Foster and myself. At some point I got carried away and timed it to Veo Lu Sluice by Kumi Tanioka. This was my first time getting to do anything even remotely queer, and I&#8217;ve never been prouder of any board.&#8221;

As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disneys-animated-movie-onward-to-feature-first-explicitly-lgbtq-character" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a>, Disney&#8217;s Pixar broke new ground in March when their film &#8220;Onward&#8221; became the first animated Disney feature to star an openly LGBTQ character:
<blockquote>The character, voiced by Lena Waithe, will be a lesbian police officer whose sexuality will be explicitly pointed out in the movie as opposed to just being implied, such as the alleged lesbian couple in “Finding Dory” or the “exclusively gay moment” in the “Beauty and the Beast” live-action remake.</blockquote>
Other children&#8217;s shows are featuring LGBTQ characters, such as the Netflix series &#8220;The Baby-Sitters Club,&#8221; which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netflixs-the-baby-sitters-club-reboot-features-a-transgender-9-year-old">features a 9-year-old trans child</a> named Bailey.

<div class="paragraph">
After igniting controversy among pro-family groups last year by featuring a lesbian-themed ad during its Christmas programming, the Hallmark Channel featured its first-ever same-sex marriage on its network over the weekend.
According to <a href="https://ew.com/movies/hallmark-channel-same-sex-wedding-wedding-every-weekend/">Entertainment Weekly</a>, the big moment occurred in the movie &#8220;Wedding Every Weekend,&#8221; a &#8220;Four Weddings and a Funeral&#8221; knock-off about a group of friends that attend &#8220;four upcoming weddings together as friends to avoid being set-up.&#8221; Of the weddings visited, one featured the nuptials of Amanda (Makayla Moore) and Vicky&#8217;s (Carmel Amit).
Just as they did last year, the group <a class="external-link" title="(opens new window)" href="https://onemillionmoms.com/current-campaigns/update-hallmark-channel-movie-to-air-this-month-includes-lesbian-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="external-disclaimer">One Million Moms</a> launched a petition calling for a boycott of the Hallmark Channel.
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<div class="paragraph">
&#8220;The once conservative network has recently caved to LGBTQ pressure and has done a one-eighty from the wholesome content the channel once aired, and the network is now catering to the Left,&#8221; the petition read.
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
&#8220;So many people feel betrayed by Hallmark over these past seven months,&#8221; it continued. &#8220;Hallmark Channel was one of the remaining channels that families could watch without being bombarded by politically correct commercials and the LGBTQ agenda. One Million Moms is boycotting all things, Hallmark. This includes Hallmark Channel, Hallmark wrapping paper, greeting cards, Christmas ornaments, etc.&#8221;
Last year, during the holiday season, One Million Moms <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/moms-petition-hallmark-channel-to-quit-lgbtq-content">launched a similar petition</a> demanding that Hallmark pull an ad from the wedding company Zola because it featured a lesbian kiss.
“Until recently, Hallmark had a good record for keeping their movies and commercials family-friendly,” the petition said. “Now, parents can no longer trust Hallmark because Hallmark is no longer allowing parents to be the primary educators when it comes to sex and sexual morality. Parents need to know they could now come face-to-face with the LGBT agenda when they sit down to watch the Hallmark Channel.”
Though Hallmark initially pulled the ad, the company immediately backtracked on its decision after facing an online backlash. In the subsequent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hallmark-channel-apologizes-will-allow-lgbt-ads-promises-to-work-with-glaad">apology</a>, Hallmark promised that it would work with the organization GLAAD to better foster a culture of inclusivity in its programming.
<blockquote>Hallmark is, and always has been, committed to diversity and inclusion – both in our workplace as well as the products and experiences we create. It is never Hallmark’s intention to be divisive or generate controversy. We are an inclusive company and have a track record to prove it. We have LGBTQ greeting cards and feature LGBTQ couples in commercials. We have been recognized as one of the Human Rights Campaigns Best Places to Work, and as one of Forbes America’s Best Employers for Diversity. We have been a progressive pioneer on television for decades – telling wide ranging stories that elevate the human spirit such as August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson and Colm Tóibín’s The Blackwater Lightship, both of which highlight the importance of tolerance and understanding.
Hallmark will be working with GLAAD to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands. The Hallmark Channel will be reaching out to Zola to reestablish our partnership and reinstate the commercials.</blockquote>
As evidenced by the latest programming, Hallmark kept its promise.

A California state senator is seeking to salvage a bill that could decriminalize gay sex between young adults and minors in some cases, arguing that present state laws governing the sex offender registry unfairly discriminate against the LGBTQ community.
According to <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Scott-Wiener-tries-to-salvage-bill-fixing-15482729.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The San Francisco Chronicle</a>, California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) is using the last few weeks of the legislative session to mobilize support for <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SB145</a>, a bill he introduced last year that stalled in a key committee. The legislation would allow &#8220;judges discretion over sex-offender registration in all cases involving voluntary intercourse between teenagers ages 14 to 17, who cannot legally consent, and adults who are less than 10 years older.&#8221;
As The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
<blockquote>If a man has vaginal intercourse with an underage teenage girl, the judge can decide whether he should be placed on the sex offender registry based on the facts of the case. But if anal or oral sex, or vaginal penetration with anything other than a penis, is involved, the adult must register as a sex offender — a <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Keeping-gay-men-off-California-s-sex-offender-13826028.php">relic of a penal code that criminalized those acts</a> until 1975, even between consenting adults.</blockquote>
“California’s sex offender registry continues to draw that distinction — an antiquated, outdated, leftover distinction — that somehow oral sex is worse than vaginal sex,” Wiener said. He added that such precedent is &#8220;horrific homophobia&#8221; that is &#8220;irrational, and it ruins people’s lives.&#8221;
&#8220;It makes no sense. It disproportionately impacts LGBTQ people because LGBTQ people are far less likely to be engaging in penile, vaginal intercourse,&#8221; Wiener told <a href="https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sex-offender-registration-reform-effort-prompts-death-threats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The San Francisco Examiner</a>.
Wiener, who co-sponsored a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/10/09/knowingly-infecting-others-with-hiv-is-no-longer-a-felony-in-california-advocates-say-it-targeted-sex-workers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2017 bill</a> that made knowingly exposing a partner to HIV no longer a felony, claims his support for SB145 has exposed him to danger. &#8220;I’ve been the subject of death threats and personal attacks, threatening to decapitate me and send my head to my mother,&#8221; Wiener said earlier this week during an online news conference. &#8220;This kind of slander, not just against me but against my community, is outrageous and we have to speak out against it.&#8221; He singled out QAnon conspiracy theorists, who believe he is attempting to legalize pedophilia.
Chad Felix Greene, a conservative journalist who is gay, wrote in <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/12/no-california-shouldnt-decriminalize-adult-sex-with-14-year-olds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Federalist</a>, &#8220;As has become far too common, opposing perceived right-wing attacks is more important than critically addressing dangerous legislation.&#8221;
Greene continued:
<blockquote>Providing reasonable legal accommodation to this very specific and narrow experience should not be an open invitation for adults to exploit young teenagers by engaging in sex with them. Unfortunately, Wiener and other California lawmakers, who have had no formal pushback on this legislation so far, are more interested in pursuing grand social ideals rather than writing simple, rational law. Left-wing media is all too happy to use labels of “hate” and “conspiracy theories” to dismiss legitimate concerns.</blockquote>
