Dez Bryant: Pride Month Propaganda is ‘Far From Right’

The typical social media feed grew a lot more colorful earlier this week as entities from corporations and professional sports teams to countless individuals switched out profile photos and logos to coincide with the beginning of Pride Month.

Thankfully, not everybody is ready to surrender the rainbow. Our friend Allie Beth Stuckey proclaimed, “Happy Noahic Covenant Month. Love seeing symbols of God’s mercy everywhere!”

Sadly, the NFL doesn’t see it that way. They switched out their traditional logo to include the rainbow and have even produced and distributed a video that states:

“Football is gay. Football is lesbian. Football is beautiful. Football is queer. Football is transgender. Football is for everyone.”

This statement was too much for Dez Bryant, the former Dallas Cowboys receiver.

“These are wild statements to make,” Bryant wrote on X. “Excuse my silliness. I’m going to proudly tell my boys football is none of these things. I have nothing against Gays, but this is far from right.”

He then added:

“It’s gay players in the NFL … but forcing it in people’s faces… especially children… can send the wrong message… Football is a real community, like the gay community. Imagine telling gays they have to advocate for straight people… they probably would have a problem.”

He’s right, but that Bryant feels compelled to offer the caveat that his comments don’t reflect animus towards homosexuals just shows how much progress the radical propogandists have made in trying to intimidate and silence any difference of opinion.

First launched in 1970 on the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, it was President Bill Clinton who formally proclaimed June “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month” on June 2, 2000.

Over the last quarter-century, “pride” events have morphed from days to multiple months. Billion-dollar corporations like the NFL, NHL and Major League Baseball have all fallen in line. If you were hoping to escape the ideological radicalism by retreating to the innocence of a ballgame, good luck during this month and even well beyond.

Dez Bryant didn’t share what he would tell his sons about what football really is, but he hasn’t been shy about sharing what he’s learned in church.

“I learned more about myself today in church,” he once wrote on X. “Regardless of your upbringing, good or bad, keep the honor of authority in the forefront of your life because there is blessing when you choose to honor in spite of the circumstances.”

The former NFL start then shared Deuteronomy 5:16:

“Give honor to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

He added:

“Instead of us looking at the commandments as old fashioned we should look at them as well fashioned. I hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday.

Dez Bryant is catching grief for his “pride month” comments this week, but we need more people of influence to offer an alternative perspective, to counter the propagandists, and most importantly, acknowledge that it is never right to praise what the Lord says is wrong.

Girls Shouldn’t Apologize for Protesting Boys in Girls Sports

If you’re losing track (no pun intended) of the stories of boys and men pretending to be girls and women and stealing awards and qualifying spots in various girls sports, you wouldn’t be alone.

This past weekend at the California high school track and field championship, two boys stole gold medals in the high jump and the triple jump.

Against a backdrop of a banner that proclaimed, “No Boys in Girls Sports!”, 16-year-old male athlete AB Hernandez shared the first-place podium with Jillene Wetteland and Lelani Laruelle.

Faced with a growing backlash and the threat of losing federal funds for allowing boys to infiltrate girls athletics, California approved an incoherent and illogical policy of allowing boys and girls to share top honors.

Sound familiar, King Solomon?

Sophia Lorey, who serves as outreach director with the California Family Policy Council, attended Saturday’s events and was thrown out of the stadium for handing out bracelets and flyers that advocated for the preservation of women’s sports. Organizers weren’t able to show what policy she was allegedly violating.

A former athlete, Lorey offered to toss the materials in exchange for staying at the meet to support the girls. That gesture was denied, and she received a police escort out of a back exit of the stadium and was forced to walk a mile to her car.

In Oregon, Alexa Anderson and Reese Exchard protested the inclusion of a male athlete in the girls’ high jump by stepping off the winners’ platform.

Alexa, who finished third, felt compelled to explain their actions.

“We didn’t refuse to stand on the podium out of hate,” she said. ‘We did it because someone has to say this isn’t right. In order to protect the integrity and fairness of girls sports we must stand up for what is right.”

In Tacoma, Washington, a male student cheated to win the Girls 400-meter dash at the Washington State Track and Field Championships. Lauren Matthew was the real champion.

Spectators understandably booed the male runner and cheered the girls.

In Minnesota last week, Champlin Park High School’s girls’ softball team defeated Rogers High School twice, all behind the pitching of a boy who is pretending to be a girl.

Minnesota, like California and several other states, is ignoring President Trump’s executive order that bans boys from competing in girls sports and vice versa. Rogers High School is the defending state champion.

The male pitcher threw fourteen shutout innings to lead Champlin High to its first state tournament next week.

Males infiltrating girls sports is a farce. It’s also an outrage. No girl should have to apologize or defend gestures of protest. They shouldn’t feel obliged to assure critics their actions aren’t hateful.

In reality, officials who step back and allow the fraud, theft and corruption of girls sports are guilty of dereliction of their duty. They’re surrendering to the mobs, caving to the bullies, and enabling either deception, deceit or mental illness and sexual confusion.

Support for Same-Sex Marriage and Relationships Declines Among Conservatives

This June marks the tenth anniversary of the United States Supreme Court neutering and redefining marriage in the troubling Obergefell decision. Gallup is now reporting that support for both same-sex marriage and same-sex relationships has been declining of late for all U.S. adults and substantially among conservatives.

Only 27% of Americans supported the idea of de-gendering marriage in 1996. That support rose to a remarkable 42% in 2004 and in 2016, the year following Obergefell, support climbed to 61% and has remained above that mark ever since, at 68% support today. However, support for gay marriage has declined from its high-water mark of 71% support among all American adults in 2022 and 2023. It will be interesting to see if this decline continues in the years to come.

Yet, the big news comes in conservative’s view of both gay marriage and same-sex relationships. While support for same-sex marriage among republicans peaked in 2021 and 2022 at 55%, that support has now plummeted to 41% in 2025. According to Gallup, this is “the lowest point since 2016 after the Obergefell decision.” Support for de-gendered marriage has only seen overall growth among Democrats, reaching a high this year of 88% support. Gallup reports, “The current 47-point gap between Republicans and Democrats is the largest since Gallup first began tracking this measure 29 years ago.”

The growth and decline trend lines in support of same-sex marriage since 1997 to 2025 look like this.

Gallup explains conservative support for gay marriage “has only reached the majority level twice, with 55% readings in 2021 and 2022” adding that “it has since been on the decline.”

Declining Support for Same-Sex Relationships

American’s support for the “moral acceptability of same-sex relationships, as Gallup phrased the question, reached its height in 2022 at 71%, but has declined to a steady 64% since 2023. Support for same-sex relationship among conservatives has sunk from a 56% high in 2022 to a dramatically low 38% approval rating this year.

Approval for such relationships is slowly climbing among Democrats. The overall national trend lines since 2001 look like this.

Declines in favorable ratings among Americans for same-sex marriage and relationships is a very hopeful sign. Both have chipped away at the importance of the natural family founded upon the inherent goodness of male and female love and cooperation in bringing forth the next generation of humanity and the founding of families.

Perhaps, this is exactly why such support is declining. American citizens, especially conservatives, are realizing that neutering marriage with Obergefell’s radical redefinition has led directly to the gender craziness that we are seeing today. They want to scale it back.

When male and female do not matter to marriage and the family – which is exactly the argument gay marriage advocates put forward for over a decade – then male and female have no essential meaning. Mere preference.

It is therefore an easy leap to say “gender” as male or female are mere feelings and can be changed by declaration. Everyone is required to play along with the lie and never speak the truth. That is how we ended up with men in women’s locker rooms, sports competitions and prisons as an essential human right, worthy of canceling anyone who does not agree.

Or maybe more Americans are increasingly tired of seeing too many injustices like this, this, this, this, this, and this toward children who are intentionally denied their mother or father in order to fulfill adult desire. People are changing their minds about the lies they were sold about “marriage equality.”

“Love” does not make a family. A loving mother and father do, through marriage.

Let us pray that these declines continue, and that people see neutered marriage and the family for the radical injustices they are to common sense, children, women and society.

Colorado Law Mandates Health Insurance Coverage for ‘Transgender’ Mutilations

A new Colorado law mandates health benefit insurance coverage for damaging, mutilating “transgender” medical interventions, such as opposite-sex hormones and surgeries for those who identify as the opposite sex – or a different “gender” entirely.

HB 1309 is euphemistically named “Protect Access to Gender-Affirming Health Care,” but real health care doesn’t involve sterilizing, disfiguring and harming patients.

The measure is an attack on common sense and religious freedom, requiring employers who oppose transgenderism for ethical or religious reasons to provide insurance coverage for expensive, injurious medical procedures.

The act mandates coverage for hormone therapy; removal of healthy breast tissue in women or “breast augmentation” in men; genital surgeries; and a variety of cosmetic surgeries such as rhinoplasties, “cheek, chin or nose implants” and “facial bone remodeling.”

Of course, none of these interventions can turn someone into the opposite sex – or some other made-up “gender.”

We have great concern for those struggling with gender dysphoria. But real kindness means helping children and adults embrace and celebrate their innate maleness or femaleness – not affirming mental illness or someone’s misguided desire to “transition.”

And, we especially want to protect children from these destructive practices.

Daily Citizen writer Glenn Stanton testified against the measure when it was being considered by the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee, saying:

HB 1309 is a horrible bill, the financial facilitator for children becoming gender medicine patients for life.

Make no mistake. This bill is not about compassion toward gender variant children. Not at all. It is an ideological bill fueled by toxic and false compassion and is deeply misguided.

Stanton explained to Colorado legislators that countries across the globe are turning away from these procedures for children because there is no evidence-based science for them and “the collected body of research does not support their use.”

HB 1309 also removes testosterone from The Colorado Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, a data-sharing system that allows “prescribers and dispensers to make more informed decisions when considering prescribing or dispensing a controlled substance to a patient.”

Health care workers won’t necessarily know which of their patients – including adolescent and teen girls and young adult women – are taking this powerful hormone which can have many negative side effects.

Girls and women are especially damaged by testosterone. Their bodies are not designed or equipped to handle high levels of this hormone as it causes permanent, harmful changes to their bodies.

In a post on X, Dr. Travis Morrell, founder of Colorado Principled Physicians and a senior fellow at Do No Harm, listed the monetary cost “to pay for every single” medical intervention listed in HB 1309 “for anyone who says they’re ‘trans’ – at any age.”

Here is just a sample of some of the medical interventions and the typical cost, as listed by Dr. Morrell, for each transgender-identified individual (procedures listed in all caps as in the bill):

  • HORMONE THERAPY: a few hundred to couple thousand dollars a year [for life].
  • FACIAL BONE REMODELING: $10,000-50,000 PLUS 50-100% for anesthesia/facility.
  • CHEEK, CHIN, OR NOSE IMPLANTS: Cheek $12,622, can be $4000- $30,000, PLUS 50-100% for anesthesia/facility.
  • BREAST OR CHEST AUGMENTATION, REDUCTION, OR CONSTRUCTION: $4,516 (average) for augmentation PLUS 50-100% for anesthesia/facility.
  • GENITAL AND NONGENITAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES: can be $4000 to $60,000 or more, multiple stages, surgeries, plus complications.

HB 1309 received much less public attention than another Colorado bill, HB 1312, an extreme transgender act that threatens free speech, religious freedom, children’s health and parental rights, but it was introduced and fast-tracked through the legislature in the same way.

The legislation – and previous acts passed by the Colorado General Assembly – demonstrate that legislators are determined to force every group in the state to comply with the pernicious transgender agenda, including children, parents, educators, employers, Christian camps and now, health insurers.

The bill passed both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly along party lines, 23-12 in the Senate and 39-24 in the Senate. Governor Jared Polis signed HB 1309 at a press conference on Friday, May 23.

APA Symposium Promotes Perverse Sex to Bring ‘Healing From Past Trauma’

(Caution: This article includes some disturbing content from the American Psychological Association’s 2025 Conference.)

A symposium at the American Psychological Association’s 2025 Convention promotes the idea that involvement in perverse sexual practices can bring “healing from past trauma” and “increase flourishing.”

This year’s convention is titled “Perspective Powers Possibilities.” The workshop is presented under the auspices of APA Division 44, the “Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity,” one of the association’s 56 Divisions.

The symposium is titled “The Kink and Flourishing Study: Impact of Kink Involvement in People’s Personal Growth and Healing,” and the papers presented are based on this idea:

“Past research and anecdotal reports indicate people experience healing from past trauma via kink engagement, and that some kink-involved people intentionally use kink scenes to address past trauma. Many people engage in kink for the purpose of flourishing, growth and well being.”

The researchers, all advocates of “kink” (aberrant sexual behaviors), explain that the traumas supposedly being healed include “sexual assault and other unwanted sexual experiences.”  

The abstracts don’t explain how harmful practices like being physically and emotionally abused – or inflicting this on others – are supposed to heal traumatic experiences.

Nor do they explain how promiscuity, another form of kink the division oxymoronically label “ethical/consensual non-monogamy,” is anything but destructive.

More abuse simply compounds previous abuse.

The Kink and Flourishing Study was produced by The Alternative Sexualities Health Research Alliance (TASHRA) a group that describes itself as “shaping the future of erotic well being.” The group conducts research, trains medical and mental healthcare providers and promotes “consensual and sexually diverse relevant health and social policies.”

TASHRA introduces the study by stating, “Recent research has debunked the notion that kink is inherently pathological, revealing its potential as a catalyst for trauma healing and improved mental well-being. “

The group considers “kinky folk” a “sexual minority,” akin to those who identify as homosexual or transgender, with the concomitant belief that the condition is lifelong, has an early onset, is unlikely to change, and may have a biological component. They believe the group is unjustly stigmatized by society.

Division 44 lists several other twisted subgroups on its website, such as its Taskforce on BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism); a Task Force on Sexism and Cissexism (supposed prejudice stemming from the belief that being male or female is normal and good); and a Committee on “Consensual Non-Monogamy.”

The Daily Citizen covered that last committee in 2019, but Division 44 has descended even further into the abyss since then. The Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity is hosting other problematic symposiums and presentations, including:

  • Roadmaps to Bi+ Joy: Advocacy, Activism, and Community Self Care.
  • Exploring health and identity development in a sexual minority community: reflections on kink/BDSM.
  • Working with Asexual Clients as Individuals and Couples: Biases, Blindspots [sic], and Best Practices.
  • Mental Health Implications of Body Mass Index Requirements for Gender Affirming Surgery.

There are many helpful psychologists and mental health practitioners who oppose the practice of deviant fetishes, especially Christian counselors and therapists who bring real healing to people. The APA debases its profession by highlighting debauched ideology.

Such presentations and task forces, with their perverse ideology, explain why many Christian mental health workers have fled the APA to join organizations and networks that bring truth and healing, such as the Christian Medical and Dental Associations, the American Association of Christian Counselors, the Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit and Focus on the Family’s Christian Counselors Network.

Still, the APA remains “the leading scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States, with 172,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students as its members.”

In this case, the inmates really are running the asylum. Sexual sin brings no healing to anyone.

Scripture has a great deal to say about God’s design for marriage and the devastating consequences of sexual sin. The APA’s collusion with darkness is reminiscent of the Apostle Paul’s description in Romans 1 of mankind’s descent into evil.

This downward spiral into sin occurs when a group of people do not acknowledge God, refuse to honor Him and give Him thanks, and reject the truth. In Romans 3, Paul reminds us that this leads to death – something we all deserve as the consequence of our sins.

But thanks be to God, Paul continues on to explain that any of us, including those promoting this evil, “can be justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith” (Romans 3:24-25, ESV). 

Even as we condemn the immorality of the APA as an organization, let us pray that God will have mercy and redeem many of its members from sin. There is forgiveness, redemption, and real healing through Christ.
