Catholic Group Launches “Hide The Pride” Campaign To Check Out LGBTQ-Related Books From Public Libraries

Notice this is not about their kids, it is about regulating what other people’s kids can see / read.   They are trying to force their views on other people’s children, trying to force other parents to follow their church doctrines.   Your freedom as a parent to decide what your child should be able to read or have access to is being removed by a religious group.  It is about forcing the public to follow the doctrines of a religion in a secular country.  These people claim it is about protecting children, but their group is responsible for the largest mass molestation of children ever!  So they claim the LGBTQ+ are dangerous for kids, that the LGBTQ+ are molesting kids, but again their very group has the largest know child abuse instances.  Don’t we need to take away all books about these people, the religious groups, the Catholic church.   Hide the churches and don’t let them be mentioned in schools.  Plus one last thing when it comes to books with sexual improprieties they bible is the worst.   Incest is rampant, sex with little girls, sex with concubines, approval of prostitutes and so much more.   I think this short article is something all people who claim the bible says one man / one woman is the only way should read.    https://valerietarico.com/2012/03/29/captive-virgins-polygamy-sex-slaves-what-marriage-would-look-like-if-we-actually-followed-the-bible/  How is this a moral guide that children should be forced to read?   Hide this book from kids before you go after LGBTQ+ books.    Hugs

The Hill reports:

A controversial conservative Catholic organization is urging parents to “Hide the Pride” during Pride Month — by checking out any LBGTQ-related books they see at their local libraries so that no children will see them.

The group, Catholic Vote, says “recent polls” show “American moms and dads do not want their children exposed to sexual and ‘trans’ content as part of their education.”

The group says parents can inconspicuously check out materials and place them away from children at home.

From Catholic Vote’s press release:

Catholic Vote’s Hide the Pride parental resource page includes step-by-step instructions and tips for parents who want to send that message to their local library board.

After collecting signatures on a letter to the library board, members of the public will go to the library, find the “Pride Month” display full of LGBTQ books targeted at kids, and simply check out all those books at the front desk.

Catholic Vote recommends participants take a friend or two along so multiple library cards can be used. Having emptied the children’s “Pride” display, parents can go home and “place the Pride books on a shelf out of reach of children,” Catholic Vote suggests.

RELATED: Longtime JMG readers will recall Catholic Vote as the home of former NOM communications director Thomas Peters, who famously battled the hate group for insurance coverage after a diving accident left him a quadriplegic. Peters, who helped lead NOM’s campaign against Obamacare, later admitted that his treatment was being covered, in part, by…..Obamacare. Catholic Vote last appeared on JMG in January 2016, when they issued a lengthy rant against Trump, calling him a womanizing loser who had opened a “sinful” titty bar in one of his casinos.

If they actually read what’s in there, tons of violence, sex, genocide, slavery, etc. But to the religious zealots, it’s much more scary to see a kids book whose message is that some families have two mommies, or that some people are different from them and that’s ok.

If you find material in a PUBLIC library objectionable, don’t go there. But don’t assume everyone else finds it objectionable. If you’re concerned about your children mind them more carefully, but don’t hold other people’s children to your standards.

Tempers flare as Lee County Republican Party members attempt school board takeover

This is the county I live in.  As I said before Florida is a divided state, but the minority Republican party try to rule it by force of intimidation, gerrymandering, and voter suppression.   The Republican party under DeathSantis is a gang of thugs.  We are very much in a dangerous time in the US and it looks like the republican media arm of rabid right misinformation / misdirection will convince the people angry at gas prices and inflation that it is Biden’s fault.  The truth is both inflation and price increases are worldwide, and a lot of the price increases is price gouging.  Oil companies admit they love rolling in the profits.   But notice that these elections are supposed to be non-partisan and focused on the needs of the students, but instead the republicans are trying to gain control to make it about election power.    Hugs 

LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Some members of the Lee County Republican Party openly admitted they’re trying to take over the Lee County School Board during the upcoming elections.

That’s despite the fact the races in Florida are non-partisan. If you’ve seen the school board meetings over the last two years you know they’ve been contentious and at times violent.

But that isn’t stopping Republicans from trying to control the school board.

Conservative Republican Political Consultant Terry Miller pointed out that there are seven members of the school board and only three are republican in a county where every partisan race is held by a Republican.

 

He admits he wants to overhaul the board.

“What I’m doing is bringing forward conservative leadership for a conservative community,” Miller said.

He didn’t deny he was helping wage a culture war campaign

“There are aspects of that in the culture war because of the things you see happening on the school board,” Miller responded.

He’s backing Conservatives like Dan Severson.

“I’m talking about gender grooming and talking about very sensitive issues that should be family based,” Severson was stressing LGBTQ issues.

Many LGBTQ students in Southwest Florida schools reported feeling under attack.

“Because they feel like victims now they have the ability to use that a leverage to get privileged treatment,” Severson responded.

Jason “Big Mamma” Jones said no one should be attacked or bullied in the school system no matter who they are.

Jones is Severson’s republican competitor known fondly as “Big Momma” on the radio.

“I’m endorsed by sheriff Carmine Marceno. I’m endorsed by the Hispanic vote and I’m endorsed by Mayor Devin Anderson of Fort Myers,” he noted.

Both of his endorsements are republicans which signifies a split in the party.

They’re trying to unseat incumbent Debbie Jordan who believes school board races should be non-partisan and the focus should always remain on the children and not politics.

“It is a non-partisan race but there are different ways of achieving things and for me it’s following the conservative mind set,” replied candidate Sam Fisher.

Fisher is another one of Miller’s candidates who is up against two other republicans.

Kathy Fanny is also running for school board and she stressed politics has no place in the school race and she wants party affiliation left out of it.

“The curriculum is not partisan and to make it so would under serve our school population,” Fanny said.

All of the openly republican candidates also said they support electing the next school superintendent.

That is an issue voters will decide in November.

White Supremacist Group’s Founder Among The 31 Arrested For Conspiracy To Riot At Idaho Pride Event

The Washington Post reports:

Police in Idaho arrested 31 people who had face coverings, white-supremacist insignia, shields and an “operations plan” to riot near an LGBTQ Pride event on Saturday afternoon. Police said they were affiliated with Patriot Front, a white-supremacist group whose founder was among those arrested.

Authorities received a tip about a “little army” loading into a U-Haul truck at a hotel Saturday afternoon, said Lee White, the police chief in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, a city of about 50,000 near the border with Washington. Local and state law enforcement pulled over the truck about 10 minutes later, White said at a news conference.

Many of those arrested were wearing logos representing Patriot Front, which rebranded after one of its members plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens.

The Associated Press reports:

The men were standing inside the truck wearing khakis, navy blue shirts and beige hats with white balaclavas covering their faces when Coeur d’Alene police stopped the U-Haul and began arresting them on the side of the road.

“They came to riot downtown,” Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said at a news conference. All 31 were charged with conspiracy to riot, a misdemeanor, White said. The men were going through the booking process Saturday afternoon and are scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, he said.

Police led the men, one by one, to the front of patrol cars, took off their masks and then brought them to a police van. The group’s manifesto calls for the formation of a white ethnostate in the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center said.

Right wingers and Trump cultists are flooding social media with their usual claims that Patriot Front is a secret FBI operation to make them look bad.

Patriot Front first appeared on JMG in February 2020 when over 150 members chanted “reclaim America” as they marched through Washington DC.

We heard from them again last summer when they were chased back to their U-Haul by counter-protesters in downtown Philadelphia.

They marched again in Washington DC in December 2021 before crashing January 2022 anti-abortion rallies in Chicago and Washington DC.

As a reminder, it was GOP Idaho state Rep. Heather Scott who first invited a local biker gang to protest the Pride event. The biker gang, in turn, contacted Patriot Front.

She’s everything you could expect her to be, and more.
In 2015 Scott is reported to have cut wires which were part of the fire-suppression system in her office. Scott believed at the time that the wires were in fact listening devices planted to spy on her. The wire-cutting incident was witnessed by other Idaho House members.

In August 2017, Scott defended white nationalism on her Facebook page. She reportedly said, “The way the media has set this up, the mention of white nationalist, which is no more than a Caucasian who (sic) for the Constitution and making America great again, and confusing it with term, ‘white supremacist’ which is extreme racism. Therefore, if one is ‘guilty’ of being white, one is clearly racist.”

At the start of the 2017 legislative session, Scott reportedly made a remark to fellow state representative Judy Boyle, upon learning of her appointment to the state legislature’s agriculture committee. The reported comment was that female lawmakers obtain ranking committee appointments and other leadership positions only if they “spread their legs.” The alleged comment received widespread rebuke from other state lawmakers.

In the 2019 legislative session, Scott sponsored a bill that would have required Idaho’s Child Protective Services to mirandize parents before assessing them or their children. After passing the House, the bill was held in committee in the Senate.

In 2019, it was reported that Scott was a member of the Coalition of Western States (COWS), a group founded by Washington state representative Matt Shea that has been accused of involvement in domestic terrorism.

In 2020, she dismissed the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming the virus was trying to kill the U.S. Constitution and “The lying, Trump-hating media who continues to push global and socialist agendas has told us that there is an emergency.”

In February 2021 Scott had a Zoom meeting with constituents about gun rights, the 2021 United States Capitol attack, and free speech.

In April 2021 it was reported that Scott claimed the book To Kill a Mockingbird was an example of critical race theory in schools.

In 2021, Scott sought a copy of the police report accusing fellow state republican Aaron von Ehlinger of rape and asked the victim’s legal representative how a person who files a false police report alleging sexual assault could be charged with a crime.

Pennsylvania Reps Plan To Intro “Don’t Say Gay” Bill

Harrisburg’s ABC News affiliate reports:

Two Pennsylvania lawmakers plan to introduce a bill “to address discussions of gender identity and sexual orientation in Pennsylvania schools.”

State Senators Scott Martin [photo] and Ryan Aument, both Republicans representing Lancaster County, say the bill would pertain to age-inappropriate conversations in elementary schools.

According to the senators, the proposal would prohibit classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students and require public schools to develop a policy for notifying parents when there is a change to a student’s services or monitoring.

Read the full article.

Martin and Augment claim their bill would exempt LGBTQ students from the parental notice requirement if it can be “reasonably demonstrated” that doing so would put them in danger of “abuse or abandonment.” Yeah.

Martin, who dropped his bid for governor in March, authored the state Senate bill against transgender student athletes. The bill, which passed this week, has zero chance of being signed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.

Armed Extremists Menace Idaho Pride Event, White Nationalist “Patriot Front” Mob Arrested By Riot Police

From a June 3rd report by the New Republic:

In the last month, two very different videos, both threatening to confront Pride celebrations with armed protest or “hunting” LGBTQ people and allies, have raised fears of how Republicans in state legislatures have enabled an environment for anti-LGBTQ violence and emboldened far-right extremists.

At the end of April, GOP Idaho state Rep. Heather Scott held an event billed as a talk on removing “inappropriate materials” from libraries and schools. She warned of an ongoing “war of perversion against our children” by the LGBTQ community, then invited two members of the Panhandle Patriots Riding Club to the stage.

Spokane’s NBC News affiliate reports:

In their video, the rhetoric used by Panhandle patriots was seemingly calling for violence, stating, “We’re having an event the very same day. That very same day, we actually intend to go head to head with these people. A line must be drawn in the sand.

“Good people need to stand up. She was talking about the repercussions⁠—we say damn the repercussions. Stand up, take it to the head. Go to the fight.”

On Facebook, the PPRC advertised the event with the quote, “If they want to have a war, let it begin here,” and encouraged people coming to carry firearms.

Texas Parents Reported For Child Abuse For Loving Their Transgender Son

A Texas transgender teen was admitted to a hospital after a suicide attempt, and instead of treating him with the proper care, the hospital reported his parents to the state government for child abuse. The teen, Antonio, even cited Greg Abbott’s anti-trans laws as a factor in his suicide attempt, in addition to bullying from classmates who were galvanized by Abbott’s and the Republican’s transphobic rhetoric. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks.

Read more HERE: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/06/t…

“On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit on behalf of three families challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent call for the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents who provide gender-affirming healthcare to transgender kids, and to block the state from investigating members of PFLAG.

The lawsuit cites a particularly disturbing case in which a transgender boy whose family was reported to the state’s DFPS by hospital staff after he was admitted for attempting suicide after he took a bottle of aspirin.

According to the lawsuit, 16-year-old Antonio Voe “said that the political environment, including Abbott’s Letter, and being misgendered at school, led him to take these actions.”

When hospital staff learned he had been receiving hormone therapy, they reported his family to the DFPS.”

House Candidate: Execute Supporters Of LGBTQ Rights

Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch:

Mark Burns, an unabashed Christian nationalist MAGA pastor who is running for Congress in South Carolina, declared that if he is elected, he will reinstate the House Un-American Activities Committee so that the government can “start executing people” guilty of treason.

Who does Burns believe is guilty of treason? Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham whose supposed crime is potentially supporting some gun control measures, and LGBTQ-supporting parents and teachers.

During an appearance on “The Stew Peters Show” Wednesday, Burns was asked by guest host Lauren Witzke what he would do to fight “LGBTQ indoctrination” if elected to Congress. Burns replied that the LGBTQ agenda represents “a national security threat” and therefore anyone promoting it is guilty of treason and should be executed.

Read the full article. There’s much more.

As you may recall, in 2016 Burns literally jumped out of his chair and fled a CNN interview after he was busted for lying about his military service and for lying about having a college degree. It must be what Jesus would want. Burns later claimed he was “attacked” by CNN because he’s a black man who supports Trump.

It’s becoming a new trend among the deplorables, saying all the horrible things they’ve always wanted to say. Here’s Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga, TX, a suburb of Fort Worth, saying the quiet part out loud during a recent sermon:

“These people should be put to death. Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime. The abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial. They should be sentenced with death.

“The comments were made during Pride Month by Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church, a Texas-based, anti-vax, racist, transphobic and homophobic church, which has created several documentaries including titles like The Sodomite Deception and AIDS: The Judgment of God. The church is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In his 5 June sermon titled “Why We Won’t Shut Up”, Awes said: “What does God say is the answer, is the solution, for the homosexual in 2022, here in the New Testament, here in the Book of Romans? “That they are worthy of death! These people should be put to death! “Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with the crime, the abomination of homosexuality, that they have.

They should be convicted in a lawful trial. They should be sentenced with death. “They should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head! That’s what God teaches.

“That’s what the Bible says. You don’t like it? You don’t like God’s Word, because that is what God says.””

Florida Bill Would Make Taking Kids To Drag Shows A Felony And “Terminate The Parental Rights Of Adults”

West Palm Beach’s ABC News affiliate reports:

A Florida lawmaker plans to propose legislation that would punish parents who take their children to drag shows. State Rep. Anthony Sabatini, R-Howey-in-the-Hills, made the announcement in response to last weekend’s Pride-themed event in West Palm Beach.

Sabatini, who is running for Congress, said he intends to draft legislation that would charge adults with a felony and “terminate the parental rights of any adult who brings a child to these perverted sex shows.” He added, “When will the sexualization of children stop?”

Read the full article.

Earlier this week a Canadian teenager was arrested for threatening to carry out a terror attack on the above-cited Pride event.

Yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis declared that he supports criminalizing taking kids to drag shows, but he’s not made any comment about the terrorism threat.

As I’ve mentioned here before, Sabatini is arguably the most extreme of Florida state reps, which is saying something.

Sabatini, 33, has suggested bringing AR-15s to confront Black Lives Matter protesters, a la Kyle Rittenhouse.

He’s also filed over a dozen lawsuits against various COVID prevention protocols and filed a bill that would rename US 27 the “President Donald J. Trump Highway.”

When an Orlando Sentinel reporter was assaulted while covering a 2019 Trump rally, Sabatini retweeted a news item about the incident with the word “MAGA.”

Sabatini is running for Congress in Florida’s redrawn 7th District, which is currently represented by retiring Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy.

Eleven Republicans, including Sabatini, are vying for the seat. Three relatively unknown Democrats are running in the August 28th primary.

With what I’ve seen some clergy wear, one would think they are trying to outdo drag queens. Except, drag queens have more style.

So parents have supreme rights over what their kids learn in school or read in the library, but no rights at all if it’s something that offends the snowflakes. I assume you’ve got a state budget plan for taking care of all the kids whose parents have lost custody of them. What, you don’t? Quelle surprise!

I’m sure some religious organization(s) will find a way to have the state pay for the children’s care in their own facility.

OMG we watched Milton Berle as kids. Explains so much… I think I just carbon dated myself.

If he’s worried about “men who wear makeup and who have a history of creeping on children”, why is he proudly standing next to Trump?

Fellow homos, serious question: What is a Drag Sex Show? I have been living out and proud for nearly 35 years and the least sexual thing I have encountered in all of that time is a drag show. Plenty of show tunes and a good bit of comedy gold but there’s more sex on television. And then there’s Jazzercise!

And allowing kids to watch Bugs Bunny?

Bugs Bunny, an early example of a cross-dressing character, appeared in ladies garb or cross-dressed in at least 40 cartoons.

Clearly, none of them remember Milton Berle, or even Trump and Rudy-in-drag. They just went straight for the stupid, which, if it’s stupid enough, gets them press and name recognition..
