MANY major corporations are funders of LGBTQ+ madness; not just Target or Kohl's

MANY major corporations – not just Target and Kohl’s – are funders of the LGBTQ+ assault on children, including promotion of “trans” identification and support for medical institutions offering "gender-affirming" treatments.

Below are links showing corporate funders of the most influential sexual-radical advocacy groups.  Pro-family conservatives have long tried to warn the sane members of the public about this looming threat to society. Was anyone listening?

So – How to defeat this behemoth? Corporate shareholders need to re-engage to cleanse these companies of “woke” policies. Revisit (i.e. overturn) anti-discrimination laws and court rulings protecting (thereby promoting) LGBTQ+ identification: Overturn Obergefell (SCOTUS 2015) and Bostock (SCOTUS 2020). States should nullify the illegitimate federal gay marriage legislation (“Respect for Marriage Act” 2022).

Gender Spectrum: Telling Adolescents They Are "Gender Dysphoric" If They Worry about Normal Body Changes

Is an adolescent’s normal anxiety related to his or her physical changes during puberty evidence of “gender dysphoria” requiring medical intervention? Apparently so, according to the widely cited advocacy organization Gender Spectrum. Here are questions G.S. recommends that a healthcare professional ask the young “patient” open-ended questions in order to “establish trust” -- and pull the teen into further counseling and procedures:

Establishing Trust with Youth Seeking Gender Affirmative Medical Care https://www.genderspectrum.org/articles/medical-establishing-trust [no date]

... Use open-ended questions to establish rapport.

Getting Started
Begin by asking about your patient’s interests and strengths
  *What do you like at school?
  *What do you like to do during your free time?
  *What is something that you feel like you’re really good at?

Transition to more personal questions about gender identity
  *Tell me about your gender history
  *When did you start thinking about this?
  *Has [sic] your feelings about your gender changed over time?
  *How does your gender feel in terms of your body, or in terms of changes to your body?

Gauging Gender Dysphoria
Seek to identify the patient’s current sense of living in their own body
  *Are you having any sad feelings about your gender? Can you describe them?
  *Are you feeling anxious? In what ways?
  *Are there experiences at home or at school related to gender that are making you feel unsupported or depressed?

Are there specific parts of your body that are causing these feeling?: [sic]
  *Breast development?
  *Menstrual cycle?
  *Erections?
  *Hair growth?

Establishing Goals
Clarify the patient’s goals related to their gender expression
  *
In the best-case scenario, how could I support you?
What are you looking for?
  *Social transition?
  *Non-pharmacological changes?
  *Medications?
  *Body changes?

Mass. Law Protects Boston Children's Hospital "Gender" Clinic Doctors from Prosecution for Medical Malpractice

How do the gender clinic experts at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) get away with inflicting harm? Their staff is protected by a 2022 Mass. law which criminalizes anyone from out of state who’d dare to bring a lawsuit for medical malpractice. That would be considered “abusive litigation” because (in Mass.) there is a “constitutional right” to “gender-affirming healthcare.” If a detransitioner (like Chloe Cole) harmed by BCH MDs tried to get justice in Mass., she would be the offender and civil action could be taken against her. This law is crying out for a challenge!

In-state transition regretters who were harmed could not sue the BCH staff because that would be anti-transgender discrimination! The BCH gender surgery webpage notes that their practices are protected by the 2016 Mass. law banning discrimination on the basis of gender identity in public accommodations.

All this permitted abuse is based on the gender myth. “Gender” is never defined in the law – except circularly, i.e., “gender is gender.” MGL Ch 4, Sec 7, 59th. Nor does BCH ever clearly define or describe what condition they’re treating in children – except to note little boys sometimes play with dolls or say “I want to be a mommy.” (See my May 2023 report on BCH gender clinic.)

Warning to other states: Block any attempt to pass a transgender rights law. This is where it would lead.

Too bad MassResistance’s 2008 warning about what our state’s pending trans rights bill would bring was roundly ignored.

Boston Children's Hospital's Leading Role in Pediatric ‘Gender Medicine’; New report names names, preserves videos, describes procedures

See the full report HERE.
https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen4/23b/BCH-gender-clinic-horrors/report/BosChildrensHosp-GenderClinic.pdf 

This clinic must be shut down. The hospital Trustees need to hear from people. Here's the list: https://www.childrenshospital.org/about-us/our-leadership/board-trustees

I first noted "gender" clinic founder, Dr. Norman Spack, on this blog in several posts starting in 2005 through 2007. I discussed the clinic's ghoulish experimentation with puberty blocking drugs in 2007 on the MassResistance radio show (on WTTT) when the BCH "gender" clinic had just opened. In 2008, Brian Camenker of MassResistance appeared on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News. In 2011, we tried to wake people up again. Apparently, no one wanted to deal with this ugly topic then. Finally, after almost two decades of child abuse, the general public is waking up.

New acronym! TGNCNBI

Equality New York has to make sure all the bases are covered. 

In a recent email opposing the NY bill that would ban males from women sports, the organization decided that LGBTQIA2S+ was not inclusive enough. The growing variations of "trans" were not accounted for.

So the headline introduced TGNCNBI:

New York Leaders Condemn Republican Sponsors for Introducing Anti-Trans Bill & Call for Continued Support for the TGNCNBI Community

We, the undersigned, are leaders, organizations, and elected officials that advocate for Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming, Non-binary, and Intersex (TGNCNBI) individuals and their rights. We are appalled at the recent introduction of an anti-transgender bill here in New York State, led by Republicans. The following bill S6259 (Borrello)/A6124 (Goodell) requires that women’s sports for students in grades seven through twelve only include those who were assigned female at birth. Now our community is disheartened that Republicans have made a direct attack on our Transgender & Non-binary youth...

The email footer uses the boring old LGBTQIA2S+.

Somerville, MA -- 1st in US to give polygamists legal non-discrimination protections

In April 2004, Article 8 Alliance held a demonstration on the State House steps denouncing the Supreme Judicial Court's anti-constitutional Goodridge gay marriage ruling (Nov. 2003) and calling for removal of the four rogue justices. One of our protesters held a sign reading "Polygamy Is Next"


Protester on left holds sign: Polygamy Is Next  [Amy Contrada photo]

Our prediction was correct. It's just taking a few decades to get there. We will probably see a case before the Mass. Supreme Judicial Court soon and it will rule, once again, that LOVE IS LOVE and there's no reason to limit marriage to only two people.

Since I no longer live in Massachusetts, I don't keep track of this sort of insanity. A Boston area friend alerted me to the latest slide down the pervy slope in Somerville. From the local rag, Patch

Somerville Passes Polyamorous Non-Discrimination Ordinances The historic move makes Somerville the first city in the United States to extend explicit legal protections to polyamorous families. (March 24, 2023)

Somerville must be so proud! First in the nation! ... except for certain areas out west where this sort of thing is quite open (though illegal).

Not surprisingly, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group at Harvard Law School helped draft the language adopted by the City Council.  (Now you know one thing the + stands for...) One of the City Councilors identifies as "polyamorous". From the report:

Somerville City Council made history Friday with the passing of non-discrimination ordinances to protect polyamorous families and relationships, city officials announced in a news release.

The ordinances make Somerville the first city in the country to extend legal protections to polyamorous and non-nuclear families and relationships.

The ordinances were introduced by City Councilor At-Large Willie Burnely and Councilor JT Scott to prohibit employers, law enforcement, and others from discriminating against someone based on their family or relationship structure.

“As a polyamorous person, I'm grateful to live in a city that embraces rather than punishes people based on their family or relationship structure,” said Councilor Willie Burnley Jr in the news release.

My friend commented: "Previously, Somerville and Cambridge gave benefits to city employees in poly relationships. Somerville used to be nearly all blue collar and not Woke years ago. But it caught the Cambridge disease and is probably sicker than Cambridge now.  And that's saying a LOT. (Cambridge is full of hi-tech companies from which it gets loads of tax revenue, yet believes in socialism.) Other nearby Woke cities: Arlington, Brookline, Newton, Boston ... The disease is spreading."

New book on gay marriage in Massachusetts

My new book will be available soon! 

Corrupt Bargains
How Gay Marriage Began in Massachusetts
by Amy L. Contrada

The book is a unique, 500-page documentary history of the constitutional crisis surrounding the implementation of gay marriage in Massachusetts, 2001-2007.

In 2003, Massachusetts became the first state to formally recognize same-sex marriage. In a 4-3 ruling, the state’s Supreme Judicial Court declared that the Massachusetts Constitution (written by John Adams) protected same-sex marriage as an inviolable right. This absurdity went unchallenged by the political elite who cared nothing for the constitution’s clear separation of powers. While the state’s marriage law was never changed, the executive branch (under Governor Mitt Romney) illegally implemented same-sex marriage – blindly accepting the court as the ultimate authority, despite widespread calls to reject its ruling.

CORRUPT BARGAINS is a unique history of how same-sex marriage began in Massachusetts. It is the only documentary account of the corrupt maneuvering of politicians and pro-LGBT special interest groups during this constitutional crisis (2001-2007). Massachusetts developed the template for the deceptive political strategies that would dupe the conservative establishment and citizenry across the country. The tactics behind the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling on same-sex marriage (2015) were crafted in Massachusetts.

The successful LGBT strategy was to ignore questions of morality and public health, invent “rights,” demand “fairness” and “equality,” and flood the zone with emotional propaganda. The achievement of same-sex marriage cleared the way for the next big goal of the sexual radicals: transgender rights.

CORRUPT BARGAINS is a case study of how corrupt government officials circumvent constitutional governance. The book provides a front-row view of these precedent-setting events. It has rescued rare sources from the memory hole, with up-to-date links in the 900 endnotes.

MITT ROMNEY'S DECEPTION:
His Stealth Promotion of "Gay Rights" and
"Gay Marriage" in Massachusetts
(2011 edition)

by Amy L. Contrada
 
Mitt Romney's Deception reveals the former Massachusetts Governor's promotion of "gay rights," his unconstitutional implementation of "gay marriage," and his support for sexual-radical programs in the Massachusetts schools. The outrages Romney failed to halt set horrible precedents for radical leftist victories nationwide. Contrary to his claim that he defended marriage, the Constitution, traditional values, and religious freedom, he actually undermined them.

Contrada's research will prove invaluable in assessing Mitt Romney as a Presidential candidate. Focusing on the issue of "gay rights," Contrada documents his largely untold history as Governor. During those years (2003-2006), Romney:
* worked closely with homosexual activists and pro-gay rights advisors
* implemented "gay marriage," violating the Massachusetts Constitution
* pushed a constitutional amendment strategy doomed to failure, and ignored the call to remove the "gay marriage" judges
* funded and promoted GLBT indoctrination in the public schools through his Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and his Department of Education "Safe Schools" programs
* undermined religious freedom, failing to defend Catholic Charities in the "homosexual adoptions" fiasco
* continued or implemented radical GLBT programs in his executive departments

This superbly documented history has over 900 detailed footnotes. It is a unique resource by an activist on the front lines of the culture war during Mitt Romney's term as Governor.

Mitt Romney's Deception: His Stealth Promotion of ‘Gay Rights’ and ‘Gay Marriage’ in Massachusetts (NEW BOOK)

[7-20-2011 NOTE: The E-book edition is no longer available.]

Just Published: A Hard-Hitting Book on Mitt Romney’s Pro-Homosexual Record while Governor of Massachusetts

Massachusetts pro-family activist Amy Contrada has just released her definitive study of Mitt Romney’s role in implementing ‘gay marriage,’ promoting GLBT ‘rights,’ and supporting the sexual-radical agenda in the Massachusetts schools while Governor. The book is now available at Amazon.

Mitt Romney’s Deception: His Stealth Promotion of ‘Gay Rights’ and ‘Gay Marriage’ in Massachusetts
By Amy L. Contrada
$9.99 at Amazon Kindle (2nd Kindle Edition, March 2011)

Contrada details how Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney supported the homosexual and transgender agenda on same-sex ‘marriage,’ sexual-radical indoctrination in the schools, and societal transformation – while posing as a defender of the Constitution and traditional family values.

Mitt Romney is no conservative, despite his attempts to appeal to that element in the Republican Party. He is an ‘establishment fixer’ – a preserver of the status quo at best, or a promoter of social liberal causes and institutions at worst. In Massachusetts, the establishment – protected and advanced by Romney – was uniquely committed to the radical homosexual and transgender agenda.

Conservatives will find Contrada’s research invaluable in evaluating Romney as a Presidential candidate. Even those uninterested in Romney will find this a fascinating record of sexual-radical activism, whether for same-sex ‘marriage’ or school programs promoting GLBT ‘rights.’ The book is a rare combination of political history and analysis, enlivened by uncompromising commentary from a front-line activist.

Focusing on the issue of ‘gay rights,’ Contrada documents Romney’s largely untold history as Governor of Massachusetts:

• How Romney implemented same-sex ‘marriage’ while ignoring the Massachusetts Constitution.

• How Romney followed a constitutional amendment strategy doomed to failure, while ignoring the possibility of removing the judges who ruled for same-sex ‘marriage.’

• How Romney undermined the principle of religious freedom and failed to defend Catholic Charities in the ‘homosexual adoptions’ fiasco.

• How Romney implemented radical homosexual and transgender programs in his Department of Social Services and Department of Public Health.

• How Romney funded and promoted homosexual and transgender indoctrination in the public schools through his Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, and his Department of Education ‘Safe Schools’ programs.

• How Romney worked directly with radical homosexual activists to promote their self-defined ‘rights.’

• And much more.

The book is superbly documented with over 900 detailed footnotes directly linked to sources. It includes a compendium of Romney’s public statements related to ‘gay rights’; contemporary commentary; a detailed timeline covering Romney’s implementation of same-sex marriage; extensive detail on sexual-radical indoctrination in the Massachusetts schools; and many previously unpublished photographs. It is a unique resource by an activist on the front lines of the culture war during Romney’s term as Governor.

Contrada holds a B.A. summa cum laude (Tufts University), an M.A.T. (Brown University), and a Diploma in Violin Making. She is a 40-year resident of Massachusetts. Contrada has been a reporter, researcher, writer, and office staffer for the pro-family organization MassResistance (Waltham, MA) since 2004.

Dianne Wilkerson, MassEquality Champion, Jailed for Accepting Bribes

Dianne Wilkerson, former super advocate for GLBT causes in the State Senate, has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for accepting $23,500 in bribes. Those are the bribes they know about. The sentencing judge "assail[ed] the state's political culture." 

Here's Wilkerson marching in the 2006 Boston Pride parade with her good friend from MassEquality, Marc Solomon. Talk about the culture of corruption.
(MassResistance photo)
[See our post from Sept. 23, 2006 on the Wilkerson-MassEquality alliance.]

From the Boston Globe:
US District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock agreed with Assistant US Attorney John T. McNeil, who argued that Massachusetts politics have become so cynical that two former House speakers convicted of federal crimes — Charles F. Flaherty and Thomas M. Finneran — were “welcomed back like they were some sort of heroes’’ at State House ceremonies on Wednesday. Neither Flaherty nor Finneran was sentenced to prison.
“It’s clear the sentencing imposed for criminal conduct here and, frankly, in other industrial states, hasn’t been sufficient,’’ said Woodlock. Referring to a culture of political corruption in Massachusetts, Woodlock said, “That Gordian knot has not been cut. People go back to do it again.’’

Continuing Feminization of the U.S. Military: The Repeal of DADT

Sexual tension in the ranks means the end of military discipline.

The U.S. military took its first step on the sexual slippery slope when it admitted women to the military academies in the mid-1970s. Later, women began serving on the frontlines (just one way Bill Clinton ensured the decline of our once proud military and kowtowed to the radical feminists). The denial of reality—that there was no new element of sexual tension acting as a distraction from discipline—began then. 

The incorporation of women at least involved normal sexuality. And if a woman became pregnant, she would be discharged. Still, enormous damage has been done.

Now, with the repeal of the ban on homosexuals serving openly, we will see increased tensions, this time with an unnatural and perverted sexuality endangering discipline—and it will be more pervasive in the daily life of a soldier. Where men and women are at least segregated in their housing, bathrooms, etc., this will not be the case with homosexuals. 

What a betrayal by our new Senator Brown to vote for the repeal of this important element of discipline. But then, he probably doesn’t have a problem showering no matter who is ogling him

Mass. Tea Party Features Real Tea Bagger!

Republican Lt. Gov. candidate Richard Tisei, an "out" homosexual and GLBT activist, was the invited main speaker at the Waltham Tea Party rally on the Waltham Common on Sunday. Also included were several other statewide, congressional, and legislative candidates.

Except for being a "Republican", Tisei is the unlikeliest person to be featured by Tea Partiers. He was a co-sponsor of the Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes Bill, has a 100% pro-abortion rating, and has a disturbing record as a state senator opposing tax cuts.
Tisei at the podium in Waltham (MassResistance photo).
This fellow, however, was not welcome. When the organizers saw his sign they immediately told him he had to put it away or leave.
This RINO Tea Party did not want the truth about the Republican Governor candidate Charlie Baker to be broadcast in any way. (Baker told the Boston Globe he is “to the left of Obama” on social issues.)
Leave it to Massachusetts to hold a Tea Party rally complete with a real Tea Bagger.

New Form of Child Abuse: Parents Support Toddler "Coming Out" as Transgender

Slippery slope alert in the heartland: A Missouri couple are being applauded by PROMO, the GLBT advocacy group in Missouri, for supporting their very young child "coming out" as transgender -- starting at the age of two-and-a-half! This is unreal. Also involved are the Safe Schools Coalition of Missouri and "Growing American Youth" of Missouri.

PROMO is "Missouri's statewide organization advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality through legislative action, electoral politics, grassroots organizing, and community education." They sent this out a few days ago in recognition of National Coming Out Day:

I was lucky enough to talk to a mom from St. Charles who comes out every day as a mother of a transgender child. The first time I heard her story as she came out to me as an openly transgender family, I was choked up over the phone because I was so proud knowing there are families like hers who step up, come out, and stand strong together every day. I wanted to share her family's story with you to celebrate all of the differences and similarities in each of our coming out stories. I hope this mom's story inspires you to come out for yourself and to come out for those around you.
Hello,


We are the parents of a seven-year-old transgender son. He came out to us when he was just two years and eight months old. As young as our child was, he has always made it clear that he wanted people to "know" who he was and seldom missed an opportunity to let a family member or close friend know that he was actually a boy -- not a girl. As he grew, so did his insistence that he was a boy. I so admired his strength and courage.


As his parents, and once we understood that "he knows who he is," we came to the conclusion early that forcing him to live as something he is not would be heartless and cruel. God does not make mistakes. And God gave us this beautiful and courageous child who I grow prouder of every single day.


Our son expressed a deep desire that we begin letting everyone know that he was actually a boy. So earlier this year, we sat down with immediate family members to let them know we would be allowing our child to transition. We sent a heartfelt letter to extended family members. We told close friends. We told his dentist and pediatrician. We told co-workers. We told neighbors. We told our pastor and church leaders. We told the staff at our son's summer camp. We changed schools, and at our son's insistence, we told the administrators we wanted to come into the school as an openly transgender family. The school sent a letter to the homes of all first grade students explaining what it means to be transgender.


We have had an incredible outpouring a love from many, and we have suffered the worst pain imaginable -- watching our child be rejected. But we follow our child's lead and march forward. He says, "It's always better to tell the truth, Mom. Just tell the truth."


Our hope is that by coming out, we will touch lives with our story in a way that brings meaning and understanding. Our prayer will continue to be that our son can find his place in this world -- openly and without ever feeling he needs to hide.


We thank God every single day for sending us this precious and special child. We feel blessed and grateful to have him in our lives.


Our best,


Brian and Kim




Today, on National Coming Out Day, I challenge you to "come out" to 5 new people -- people with whom you have never talked about it. Some of you might say, "Well, everyone knows." I say, "Come out to a stranger, and tell them why it's important that they know."


On Saturday, November 20th, the Safe Schools Coalition of Missouri is hosting the 2010 Youth Empowerment Summit at the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, Missouri. I encourage youth and adults to come and learn how to change lives from being bullied to being an empowered leader and standing up to bullying in schools and communities.


If you cannot attend the summit in November but still want to help and be a part of changing and empowering a young person's life here in Missouri, for just $25, one young person's travel, food, and summit cost will be taken care of.

Boston College Celebrates Coming Out Week


The latest from that radical "Catholic" university, Boston College: Its student newspaper reports that bisexuality was a big focus for National Coming Out Week this year. There are lots of misconceptions about this "identity":
To celebrate NCOW, the GLC has been hosting various events throughout the week. On Tuesday, the group hosted a panel on bisexuality, during which five undergraduate students from BC spoke about their personal experiences and the issue of bisexuality on campus.
"People often tell me that I should just be straight because I have more options, that I should lean more toward the opposite sex," said Rachel Graves, one of the panelists and A&S '11. "But I wouldn't want to do that because that is not being who I am. I would not be honest with myself if I claimed that I am either straight or gay." 
"Both gay and straight communities tend to have some misconceptions about bisexuals," Graves said. 
She and other panelists said they felt that some people think bisexuals claim that they are so because they are either going through a "phase" in which they feel uncertain about their sexuality, or do not want to come to terms with the fact that they are homosexual.
"This misconception is sometimes an encumbrance when dating because the partner feels insecure about the bisexual's sexuality, and thus, the relationship in general," Graves said. 
"The panel was very interesting because it explored an identity that is often overlooked in the GLBTQ community," said Clifton James, CSOM '12, who attended on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the GLC hosted an event called "Guess Who's Gay," in which the audience tried to figure out if a panelist is straight or GLBTQ. Members of the panel were behind sheets through which only their silhouettes and voices were discernible. 
Tonight, there will be an event called "Opening Boston's Closet," during which students will gather and talk about their sexual identities. Friday will be "Show Your Love Day" across the campus. People are encouraged to hug as many people as they can between classes.
And the BC kids think they have wisdom. Homosexuality is "perhaps the great theological question of our time," they write. The Church just hasn't given it enough thought. From the Cardinal Newman Society "Campus Notes" blog:
An article by the editorial board of the Boston College student newspaper site BCHeights.com upbraids the Catholic Church for its stance on gay issues.  The authors seem to take for granted that the Catholic Church’s teaching on the gay lifestyle must be wrong.  Their point is that Catholic thought on the subject would eventually come around to acceptance of the gay lifestyle if only the Church would study the question more.  Boston College is the place to do it, they argue.
“We empathize with students who were raised Catholic but who have been driven out by homophobic attitudes. The Church has to realize that its intolerance may deter people who do not identify as GLBTQ, as well. . . The Church has to face the fact that there are thousands, maybe millions of Catholics out there praying for some real discussion about the deeply personal struggle in their souls. This is, perhaps, the great theological question of our time, and BC, if it aspires to be a leader in the Catholic world, should explore ways to submit the question to rigorous examination. . . Faith and reason sometimes make a tenuous pair, but for thousands of years people in the Church have found ways to wed the two. . . BC needs to become a place where the tangled knot of Catholic moral theology on GLBTQ issues can be unraveled and debated by intelligent, thinking believers.”
BC Heights’ editorial board posted their opinions as Boston College’s celebration of National Coming Out Week continues. 
The “GLBTQ Leadership Council” celebrates National Coming Out Week every first week of October.  The Council president said, “Administrators sometimes face obstructions in helping us when they feel that the GLC activities are not aligned with Jesuit principles. But they are usually supportive of us.”
Another leader of the GLBTQ Leadership Council said, “Our school is more open to gays compared to some other Catholic institutions such as Notre Dame, and the administration has given us much help in coming this far.  We were able to have our first gala in the spring of 2009 and start selling ‘support love’ t-shirts in 2008.”
