President Biden is continuing pressure to get Title IX rewritten to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender identity instead of the basis of biological sex. Liberals are insistent on the right of children to use the school bathroom, locker room, shower, and sleeping facility of their choice based on the gender they feel they are rather than their gender based on their physical structure. However, to allow that has implications far beyond the Gay community. Separate school bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms were set aside to protect girls from voyeurs and sexual predators. When rules are enforced, the mere presence of a boy hanging around outside a girls facility would alert bystanders to a threat before he is able to attack anyone. However, if boys are allowed to use the facility of their choice, there would not be anything suspicious about a man entering a girls facility and predators could enter a girls facility without raising suspicion and attack vulnerable girls. Once the decision is made to allow children to use the facility of their choice, it is only logical for them to press to extend that to public facilities outside schools. The issue has already come up in numerous States and been defeated by pressure from concerned parents and other citizens. Gay Rights groups will continue to try to threaten schools with legal action to allow kids to use the facility of their choice and parents must be constantly vigilant to prevent it. We need to continue to insist on strict separation of all public restroom facilities.

We are seeing an increasing number of girls claim to be transgender due to the schools and social media. Girls have had an increasing problem with their self-image due to media hammering out the message that women are discriminated against and are second class citizens. While that was once true, there were vast advances in women’s rights and women were excelling in school over boys and graduating from high school, college, and graduate schools more often then boys. Since the current rise in efforts to promote transgenderism, society has openly trampled on women’s rights. Men, claiming to be women, have been allowed to use women’s restrooms, showers, and sleeping quarters endangering women. In addition, men, claiming to be women,  have been allowed to enter women’s sports, forcing biological women out of the competition. Society is increasingly showing open contempt for women’s rights. Girls often have a self-image problem in their teen years with changes in their body, but the media is making it worse with promotion of the perfect body for women. Girls are increasingly online where they are told that their problem is due to them being a boy in a girl’s body and are pressured to transition to boys. In addition, they may feel they can avoid the pressure to have the perfect body by transitioning to being a boy. As a result, we are seeing an explosion in the number of girls seeking to transition. Schools are compounding the problem by teaching that you can not relay on biology to tell you what sex you are, causing children to become confused and causing doubts when they run into normal problems in growing up. Instead of dealing with the problems, they are urged to transition to the opposite sex.

Why legalizing same sex marriage is harmful

1-It isn’t marriage because it denies the biological physiology of men and women and denies the primary purpose of marriage. Normal marriage creates a family unless prevented, same sex marriages can’t without unnatural intervention.

2-It violates natural law written in the heart of every man. Rom 2:14 & 15 Heterosexual attraction is rooted in human nature and governed by natural law, All major civilizations reject same sex unions until they begin to fall apart. The acceptance of homosexuality grows as families and civilizations collapse.

3-It offends God. Marriage wasn’t created by the State, it was created by God, who created them, man and woman, for the propagation of the human race and the raising of children.

4-Children need a male and female role model, as well as to see the interaction of the two. Same sex marriages deprive the child of a father or a mother role model.

5-It defeats State’s purpose for protecting marriage. The State recognizes marriage because it creates a stable family needed to raise children, same sex marriage does not do that.

6-It validates and promotes the homosexual lifestyle. Civil laws give structure to society and shapes life in the community. It also modifies people’s perception of moral values. It turns a moral wrong into a civil right and imposes State acceptance on society. Gay rights activists equate it with bi-racial marriages, however bi-racial marriages have no inherent obstacle to procreation, same sex marriages do.

7-It is the cutting edge of the cultural revolution. It promotes acceptance that will lead to more radical demands
