Why gay pride is wrong Why Gay Pride Month is Wrong Written by Dale Diel eman Revised May 12, 2026 The gay civil rights movement is based on the commonly believed premise that one is born Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender and that these are immutable characteristics and therefore cannot be changed. But is that true? To prove or disprove the validity of that premise the question needs to be asked, "Are there individuals in our society who at one time identified as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender but now do not?" The answer to that question is, "Yes, there are." It is not my intent to be disrespectful or hurtful but the reality is that the claim of "born gay and cannot change," is a myth. Change is possible. Saying that change is possible is not just a biased homophobic opinion as is often the charge. Saying that change is possible is based on having acquaintances and friends who at one time identified as gay but now do not. One of those is Ken Drew who at one time identified as gay but now no longer does. His story deserves to be heard. Most people have never heard the stories of former homosexuals like Ken and others such as Joe Dallas , Jim Domen and Rosaria Butterfield . Few have heard of ex-gay organizations such as PFOX or CHANGED . Why? Ex-gay stories rarely make the news, therefore, good-hearted, well-meaning people support efforts like gay pride month not knowing that the claim of born gay and cannot change is actually inaccurate medical information . Another example of inaccurate medical information today is the idea that a boy can become a girl or a girl can become a boy. This claim goes so much against biological facts that one has to wonder, does the term "follow the science" have any relevancy anymore. Is there no established truth? Can anyone believe anything they want and those who disagree are not allowed to challenge or make a rebuttal using evidence based on long established facts? Transgender activists set aside the biological definition of male and female which, since the beginning of mankind, has been defined by one's genitalia. They also totally disregard genetic facts such as the female XX and the male XY chromosomes. Recently some have begun to claim that "gender is a broad spectrum" in which a person may identify with genders that are different from their natal sex..." So how many genders are there? Free from the age old guidelines of male and female, the list is growing daily. A Fox News report contains the following regarding Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, "A California director of a gender clinic and medical school professor claimed there are "infinite" gender identities, including one called a " gender Tootsie Roll pop ."" Such children are described by Ehrensaft as "Children who exhibit one gender on the outside but experience another gender on the inside.” Removing the clear biological definition of male and female results in mental confusion for our children rather than mental clarity and stability. Mental confusion is dangerous because it can lead to thoughts of suicide. The Guardian states that more than 50% of trans and non-binary youth in the United States considered suicide in 2022. How many of those actually committed suicide is hard to find. Children need clear direction. For example, in math 2 + 2 = 4. In biology it is male and female. Clear and simple definitions leave no confusion about which bathroom to choose or on which team to play sports. For sure, there are those who are experiencing gender dysphoria. They need compassionate help but affirming their imagined gender and rushing them into transitioning through hormone blockers and surgery is the opposite of compassionate help. Several, including former transgender Walt Heyer, have warned for years about the dangers of transgenderism. He tells his story at waltheyer.com of how he transitioned from Walt to Laura and later back to Walt. The U.S. News reports that several European countries that for many years supported the idea of early transitioning are now reversing course and are taking a much more cautious approach. Chloe Cole tells her story of how, between the ages of 13-17, she was prescribed puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and a double mastectomy by Kaiser Permanente. She now regrets what has become permanent changes to her body and is suing Kaiser Permanente for not treating the underlying causes of her gender dysphoria through counseling. She believes that she was pushed into medical mutilation. So we see stories of transitioners but we also have the often tragic stories of detransitioners. Are their stories to be ridiculed and suppressed because they don't fit the common narrative? No. Theirs are true stories that need to be heard and compassionately listened to. We adults should sincerely seek the truth regardless of where that takes us. We owe that to our vulnerable and inexperienced children. Because, as we mentor them from infancy to adulthood, it is truth that matters. We need to remember, adults are the drivers. Children are the passengers. Their lives are literally in our hands.

churches and voting Churches and Voting PDF Copy of Article Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, “We in America do not have government by the majority - we have government by the majority who participate. All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” Churches can make a significant difference in an election by: 1. Encouraging their attendees to be registered to vote. That can be done on campus or at some public venue that has voter registration forms. 2. Encouraging their attendees to vote. 3. Providing voter information for their voters. Many voters don’t vote because they don’t know who the candidates are. A trusted voter information packet can fill that gap. What does this look like in actual practice? First, what not to do. NEVER TALK PARTY. ONLY TALK ISSUES. This cannot be over-emphasized. Talking party rather than issues, for example, Democrat vs. Republican, is a surefire way to cause a huge argument within any group, including a church. On the other hand, talking issues is not as controversial and actually can be uniting. Pro-life, traditional marriage and parental rights are all issues that Christians agree on regardless of party. What to do. 1. A successful voter drive effort takes at least one committed person assigned to be in charge. That person, and preferably persons, needs a table, pens and in case of inclement weather, a place protected from the elements. 2. Most folks are registered to vote but not all are. During COVID and since, ballots are mailed out about one month before the actual election day. Getting folks registered to vote 2 to 3 weeks before the ballots are mailed out is important. Forms are available at the County Registrar of Voters. 3. Getting folks to vote is great but they also need to be informed. Most folks are busy making a living and raising a family. They don’t know which candidates share their worldview. A voter information packet is vital. 4. Because of revised voter laws in California, ballot harvesting during the election is legal. Churches can do that although there are a couple of simple rules that must be followed. See next section for those guidelines. Ballot Harvesting Guidelines • The ballot collection container must not be represented as an official county drop-off box. · It is not required that the collection container be locked but it is good practice for it to be supervised at all times. This is easier to do if at least two persons are present. Questions come up which can be answered while the second person keeps an eye on the ballot container. · As ballots are returned, it should be verified that the ballot envelope has been properly filled out. That usually only takes a glance. Signature and address filled in. · The one receiving the ballot is required to sign the ballot envelop in the designated area located in the top left corner of the ballot envelope. This doesn’t need to be done immediately but the ballots are required to be turned in within 72 hours (three days). · That same person who received the ballot is then required to drop off the ballots at a county-sanctioned ballot drop-off location. Again, ballots cannot be held more than 72 hours (three days). Taking the ballots directly to the County Registrar of Voters may not be convenient but it is the safest way. Resources for Voters Who Have Questions PDF Copy of Article Having a Pro-life Voter Information Packet available for voters eliminates most questions but there can still be some such as the following: I moved since the last election. Do I need to re-register? The answer is Yes. If you have moved (changed your address) since the last election, you need to re-register. Additionally, if you have recently turned 18 or are about to, you are eligible to register to vote. Am I registered? This information is found at voteinfo.net . The full ULR is found below but going to that websit e, then clicking on Am I Registered , a form appears. Filling in that simple form lets a voter know their voting status. I haven’t received my ballot. If the voter has moved since the last election is one of the reasons for not getting a ballot. If not, the usually it is just a delay in the mail. Give it 3 or 4 more days to see if it arrives. If it still hasn’t arrived, call the registrar of voters. For our area that would be the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. 951 486 7200. Who do I vote for? The advice for Christians is to vote pro-life. However, sometimes, especially in the Primary Election, there are multiple candidates who say they are pro-life. This is always a tough call. Often times the choice comes down to who has endorsed them. The California Republican Assembly is usually a reliable pro-life source of endorsements. The California Pro-life Council is another pro-life source for candidate information. Who are those that represent me? For a complete list of those who represent a particular address, go to voteinfo.net . Scroll down to Elected Officials/District Lookup . Clicking there brings up a form that, with just a little information, allows a voter to see the entire list of the elected officials for their address.

Affordable Housing Former Costa Mesa, CA mayor Jim Righeimer has rightly stated, "....There's no such thing as affordable housing. All there is is subsidized housing. It's really just a matter of who is going to subsidize it. The 2 x 4s and concrete still cost money." The quote above was taken from an article entitled "California's Proposal to Make Housing a Fundamental Human Right Moves Forward" by Jill McLaughlin May 2, 2023. The article is in response to Assembly Constitutional Amendment (ACA) 10 introduced March 26, 2023 by Assemblyman Matt Haney (D - San Francisco) Affordable Small Homes Small homes, sometimes also referred to as tiny homes, are part of the affordable housing discussion.

U.S. Sovereignty Introduction In the spirit of preserving our independence, we, Independent Americans of the United States, out of great love for God, family, and country, do proclaim the following standards: back to top Judeo-Christian Heritage We believe that it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and to humbly implore His protection and favor. Furthermore, we affirm that America is fundamentally a Christian Nation with a strong Judeo-Christian heritage, tolerant of all peaceable religions; and that only by faith in and obedience to God shall we be preserved as a nation. back to top Family We believe that families are the fundamental building blocks of a moral society; that traditional family values are the strength of our nation; and that Christian and similar principles are the key to strong homes in America. back to top Citzenship We believe that patriotism, civic duty and good character are essential to personal liberty and happiness for the people of America. back to top Unalienable Rights We believe that God has endowed men with certain unalienable rights, such as life, liberty and property; that these rights are guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; and that it is the primary duty of government to protect these rights. back to top States Rights in Education We believe that the federal government has no constitutional authority to regulate, control or fund education and that this right belongs to the states, or to the people. back to top Economy We believe in economic “free enterprise;" in addition some safeguards may be necessary to protect Americans from foreign competition. As well, taxation should be limited to those methods provided for in our traditional Constitution, and our nation must not spend beyond it's means except for in times of (justified) war or emergency. We must work to eliminate our national debt, and not pass down financial obligations to subsequent generations of Americans. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 should be repealed and America's free market system allowed to flourish based on natural laws of supply and demand. back to top Society We believe that government has no authority to circumvent, or usurp, the U.S. Constitution; that only state or local governments have the right to regulate or discourage drug, alcohol, and gambling abuse in their jurisdictions; and that the safety of law-abiding citizens must take precedence over the rights of criminals. Amendment 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. back to top Natural Resources We believe protection of the environment should be a state, local, and individual responsibility; that there must be a dynamic balance between energy development and conservation; and that safe and inexpensive alternative energy sources should be developed. Pollution-free alternative energy sources have been discovered and patented. These tools have been suppressed by corporations and lobbied government officials, but could become quickly available and which should be allowed to reach the hands and use of we the people, were it not for politics and government interference. back to top U.S. Constitution We believe that the Constitution for the United States was prepared and adopted by men under inspiration from Almighty God; and that it is a solemn compact created by the people of the states of this nation; and that it was made specifically by, and for a moral and religious people; and is the supreme law above all other laws. It must be held inviolate. back to top Government We believe that the sole function of government is to protect life, liberty and property; and that the federal government is an agent of the states and the people; and that each state is sovereign in performing those functions reserved to it by the U.S. Constitution. Each elected official is under mandate to take an oath to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution. It is the responsibility of The People to hold these elected and appointed officials accountable for their oaths. Many, if not all, of our current problems are traceable to the abdication of the people to perform their duty, collectively and individually. back to top Defense We believe that a strong defense establishment is essential to the preservation of our nation; that America must not commit its military to any international organization; and that neither should foreign military bases be allowed on American soil. back to top U.S. Sovereignty We believe that a sovereign America is necessary to maintain our freedom and way of life; that we must withdraw from all international agreements or entanglements that diminish our sovereignty and power; and that we must resist all efforts to draw us into a global, or international government. We claim that the heritage of Christian principles upon which this nation was founded, including those of religious tolerance, the traditional family, patriotism, and our unalienable rights, is under attack; that our educational, economic and social institutions, and use of natural resources, have been perverted by those who would destroy our way of life; and that our Constitutional Republican form of government, national security, and national sovereignty are hanging by a thread. back to top American Independent Party Logo Founded in 1967 by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Shearer, their first presidential candidate was George C.
