AOC speaks at pro-LGBT Catholic church on ‘our trans brothers and sisters’

By permitting AOC to speak from the pulpit, local Church leaders appear to be giving tacit approval to her far-left politics, even though they contradict Catholic teaching.

(LifeSiteNews) — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, better known as AOC, spoke from the pulpit at a Catholic church this week, co-opting the authority of the Church to accuse conservatives of making Catholics “turn against … our trans brothers and sisters and neighbors and siblings.”

By permitting AOC — the nation’s leading democratic socialist and 2028 presidential hopeful — to speak from the sanctuary at All Saints Catholic Church in Syracuse, New York, local Church leaders appear to be giving tacit approval to her politics — even though she directly contradicts Catholic teaching on transgenderism, homosexuality, and abortion.

The same parish held a “Pride Mass” in June 2025, where an LGBTQ “pride” flag with a cross superimposed over the rainbow colors hung over the altar. No crucifix is visible.

“If you try to list the sacrileges, you’ll lose count,” noted Daniel O’Connor, who posted a video of the offensive service on X.

“Those poor children. Lord, save your Church,” prayed O’Connor.

“I watched to the end and not only did he refer to the Holy Spirit as ‘she’ but allowed a layperson to preach the homily, made up his own Eucharistic prayer and pronounced the final blessing in the name God who is a ‘Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier,’” said Fr. Dwight Longenecker.

“So on Trinity Sunday an obvious Trinitatian heresy,” he added.

Michigan Church Demands Action Against LGBTQ Acceptance in California Churches

16 September 2026 

The board of a small church in rural Michigan has prepared and submitted a detailed complaint against church entities in southern California who have shown acceptance toward LGBTQ people. The Coloma church asks the Michigan Conference Executive Committee to officially act on their complaint, and forward their request to discipline California’s leaders to the North American Division Executive Committee.

The document, which runs to 248 pages of obsessive detail, singles out Southern California Conference, particularly the Glendale City Church and its now-retired married gay pastor Leif Lind. It also complains about the Southeastern California Conference, location of La Sierra University and the La Sierra University Church, for LSU’s accommodation of LGBTQ students which includes a Kinship Sabbath School class and a private “Lavender Graduation” for LGBTQ students.

About 230 pages, many of them taken from Adventist Today and Spectrum, are appended as “evidentiary preservation… because live web links may not preserve the evidentiary record if source pages are later changed, moved, restricted, or removed.” It also includes annotations for “the purpose of helping the reader to quicker focus on relevant contents or to understand specific contexts.”

Support of LGBTQ people is condemned as a “long-term pattern,” with “current conference administration support,” and blasts the two conferences for allowing the “continuity of current conference officeholders.” Besides Leif Lind (who was paid by the Glendale City Church, not the conference) it singles out Southern California Conference president (formerly executive secretary) John Cress, current executive secretary Danny Chan, and Los Angeles regional director Brett Poynter. In Southeastern California Conference, it blames former LSU church pastor Chris Oberg.

“Taken together, this sustained, intentional, publicly documented pattern … conflicts with SDA biblical and voted standards, raises issues of institutional accountability, and affects member confidence and the Church’s public witness across the NAD, thus warranting submission to the NAD Executive Committee for formal consideration and action.”

Leif Lind writes,

“After the articles came out about my years of service at Glendale City Church, I was kind of holding my breath to see what happened next.… It’s almost uncanny the detail that this document has put together. Bulletins are included, with all relevant parts highlighted in red font, photos of me at the church that I never even knew existed, with my name highlighted in yellow boxes, page after page. It doesn’t make me feel worried, but it does leave me feeling disgusted as well as astounded that people can waste so much of their time on such trivial pursuits. Probably 60% of the document is about me, GCC and the Southern California Conference (as pertains to their interactions with me). The other 40% is about La Sierra University Church and SECC, with their Kinship Sabbath School class and “Lavender Graduation.”

Floyd Pönitz, president of Kinship, wrote this to Adventist Today:

“This document from the Coloma, Michigan church highlights a long‑standing challenge within Adventism: the difficulty some congregations have in opening their hearts to people whose lives or identities differ from their own. Many LGBTQ Adventists still long to feel at home in the church they grew up in—to belong without fear, without scrutiny, and without being treated as outsiders.

“Yet it’s important to recognize the hopeful movement happening in the church. Pastors Leif Lind and Chris Oberg and the leaders in their respective conferences have taken meaningful steps toward listening, learning, and creating space for LGBTQ Adventists. Their willingness to engage in grace stands in stark contrast to the Coloma church’s fixation on what happens thousands of miles away, rather than focusing on how the gospel of love and welcome might be lived out in their own community.”

Washington dad sues school district for denying religious opt-out for young son during Pride Month lesson

Published Sep. 9, 2026, 2:43 p.m. ET

A Washington father is suing his son’s public school district after he said his 10-year-old was taught about gender surgery during a Pride Month lesson despite the Christian parent previously asking the school to excuse his child from LGBTQ-related instruction.

On Tuesday, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which is representing the father, Konstantin Averkiev, filed a federal lawsuit against Lake Washington School District, alleging officials violated Averkiev’s First and 14th Amendment rights by refusing to provide notice and allow his son to opt out of LGBTQ-related lessons and other school requirements that conflict with his religious beliefs.

The dispute began after Averkiev said he met with his son’s fourth-grade teacher at Henry David Thoreau Elementary School in September 2025 and requested advance notice and an opt-out from lessons involving LGBTQ topics, gender identity or gender transition.

According to the complaint, the teacher agreed, but Averkiev subsequently found out his son had been taught a June Pride Month lesson that allegedly included a classroom discussion of gender-change surgery.

The teacher then said he remembered Averkiev’s request and told him he “should have sent the lessons ahead of time,” according to messages cited in the lawsuit. However, Averkiev said that the district later rejected nearly all of his broader opt-out requests as his son prepared to enter fifth grade.

The Pride Month presentation, taught to fourth and fifth-grade students, described same-sex attraction, transgender identity and the Stonewall uprising, a series of protests from people who identified as LGBTQ+ against a police raid on June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in New York City’s Greenwich Village, according to materials cited in the complaint.

Florida’s no-children-at-drag shows law upheld by federal appeals court

By Christine Sexton-August 4, 2026 5:20 pm

A federal appeals court has upheld a Florida law banning children from attending drag shows, a measure put in place with the support of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

In an 8-5 opinion handed down Tuesday, the majority ruled the law was constitutional, while those on the dissenting side criticized the measure as overreach.

“The act is a straight forward regulation of obscenity,” wrote Judge Andrew Brasher, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, on behalf of the majority. “Preventing children from attending adult live performances obscene for them is rationally related to Florida’s interest in safeguarding the well-being of minors.”

DeSantis posted on X that “this shouldn’t even be controversial, yet our law protecting kids required to fend off lawsuits and win a case before a divided appellate court.”

The Legislature in 2023 passed SB 1438, the “Protection of Children Act.”

The law threatens fines, loss of operating licenses, and criminal penalties against any venues that expose any “child” to “lewd” performances, even if the child has parental consent.

New York Democrats Vote to Ban Mother and Father From State Law Replacing With Gestating Parent

Daily Beltway Jun 4, 2026 

 Jun 4, 2026  

New York Democrats have launched an unprecedented assault on traditional family language by passing legislation that would eliminate the words mother and father from all state law. The bill, which has cleared both chambers of the state legislature, now sits on Governor Kathy Hochul's desk awaiting her signature. If enacted, this radical measure would replace mother with gestating parent and father with non-gestating parent across every family court proceeding, domestic relations statute, and education code throughout the Empire State.

The legislation sailed through the New York State Senate this week after previously passing the Assembly, marking a significant victory for progressive lawmakers who have championed gender-neutral language in government documents. Proponents argue the change promotes inclusivity and recognizes diverse family structures in modern society. Critics, however, see this as yet another attack on traditional values and an erasure of biological reality from legal frameworks that have served families for generations. The bill would fundamentally alter how New York recognizes parenthood in legal contexts, affecting divorce proceedings, custody battles, adoption paperwork, birth certificates, and school enrollment documents.

Conservative advocates warn this represents a dangerous trend of ideology trumping common sense in state governance. The practical implications extend far beyond semantics. Medical professionals, legal experts, and family court judges would be required to adopt this new terminology despite its clinical awkwardness and departure from universally understood biological terms. The gestating parent designation explicitly centers pregnancy and childbirth as defining characteristics, while non-gestating parent creates a negative definition based on what someone did not do rather than their actual parental role.

Governor Hochul has remained publicly silent on whether she will sign the measure into law, though her administration has consistently aligned with progressive legislative priorities throughout her tenure. New York would join a small but growing number of jurisdictions implementing similar language policies in official government communications. The timing of this bill comes as parents across America increasingly push back against what they view as ideological overreach in schools and government institutions. This story represents a flashpoint in the broader cultural debate over gender, biology, and the role of government in shaping social norms through legislative mandates.

Taxpayer-funded trans dolls with removable genitalia to hit classrooms this fall for kids as young as 4 to ‘learn about different options’

They’re dolling up the trans agenda — and taxpayers are footing the bill.

“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old.

The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.

The dolls will be made available to kids between 4 and 10 years old in Minnesota this fall.University of Minnesota

The goal is for kids to “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be,” according to a therapist at the University of Minnesota Medical School, which spent over half a decade developing the controversial project funded by lefty Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz


The Medical School’s Institute for Sexual and Gender Health research over those six years included paying $20 to $60 for “trans and gender diverse” children and their parents to play with the dolls and “talk about gender and bodies” in groups.

Prototypes of the dolls were shown in a 2024 conference where one named “Sam” can be seen in what appears to be some phase of a gender transition, with a detachable penis off to the side, and a dress and girls’ underwear within reach.

The trans dolls — which promise to “make gender fun” — will be made available to teachers, school counselors, pediatricians and mental health providers, according to a website of the “MyGender Dolls” company. It features an image of a boy doll wearing a dress and others in various states of sexual identity confusion.

It’s not known whether parents — or children themselves — will be able to order a doll, or if they will only be marketed to professionals and schools. It is not known if parents will be able to opt out of such “therapeutic play” for their kids.

The dolls began as a University of Minnesota research project, which was later spun into a commercial venture — “MyGender Dolls” — by two licensed psychologists who are professors at the medical school.

The website does not reveal the cost of the paper dolls.

The University of Minnesota’s Medical School has been receiving $15 million annual funding from the state via Walz — cash earmarked to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.”

Christian J. Pinto: The Bible On Trial In Europe

The Real Reveal

Jul 21, 2026

Chris discusses the ongoing controversy with the issue of so-called "hate speech" in Europe, where Dr. Paivi Rasanen has been persecuted for some six years for communicating the Word of God in Finland. Her original offense was to post a verse of Scripture that opposed the LGBT narrative, but now her book in which she explains God's original design for a family is being called a "war crime" by the courts. The case is part of the ongoing attack against free speech, where Christians are almost always the people targeted. We discuss the origins of free speech and how it was built on the principles of Common Law, which is based on God's Law in the Bible. Can Western civilization survive if it abandons the Christian faith?

My Return to Kinship Kampmeeting

10 July2026

By Loren Seibold | 10 July 2026 |

Back in the late 1980s, I was a new pastor in the San Francisco Bay Area. At a church event I met sociologist Ron Lawson, who was researching a book on Seventh-day Adventists. Ron told us of a still relatively new organization called Kinship, a gathering for gay and lesbian Seventh-day Adventists. (Bisexual, transexual, and intersex people weren’t yet on the category list, though they were surely present in the church.) Kinship’s Kampmeeting (always spelled with a K) was at the Monte Toyon Retreat Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains the next week, Ron said, and would I come and speak to the group?

I did—and I should admit that I was well out of my depth. I tried. But I had just come from being a pastor in rural South Dakota, and though I was liberal in my beliefs, I was inexperienced and unconfident. I wasn’t fully comfortable in my own pastoral role. I was addressing a group of people who I sympathized with, but didn’t really understand.

Although everyone was kind to me, I do remember it as a tense and occasionally angry gathering—and for good reason. Back then, most were young. (The group is older now.) Then there was little Christian fellowship for people who openly identified as L, G, B, T, I, or otherwise Q. Some hoped that they could “come out” and still be Seventh-day Adventists. But most had, by that time, realized that wasn’t going to happen quickly—or possibly ever. A few were church workers who desperately needed reassurance, but were terrified they might be exposed.

The Colin Cook affair—denominational leaders’ continuing support of a gay ex-pastor who sexually abused young men under the cover of changing them into straight people—was very much on their minds. AIDS had emerged just a few years earlier; there had already been fatalities, and everyone knew there were going to be more.

Blakeman accuses Hochul of anti-Catholic bigotry over LBGTQ law that would force hospice nuns to violate their beliefs

By Carl Campanile

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is accusing Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul of religious bigotry for enforcing a transgender rights law she approved that is forcing Catholic nuns who run a hospice program to choose between their beliefs or caring for indigent, terminally ill patients.

The controversy concerns the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne in Westchester County who run Rosary Hill Home — a Catholic hospice for the poor.

The order filed a federal lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights with a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm patients’ gender identity in regard to pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage.

The law bars nursing or long-term care facilities from discriminating against any resident based on the resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.

But the Trump Justice Department recently intervened in the case on behalf of the Dominican Sisters, claiming New York is engaged in religious discrimination at the 42-bed hospice care facility.

“What Kathy Hochul is doing to the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne is an absolute disgrace. For over 120 years, these incredible women have done God’s work, providing unconditional love, comfort, and dignity to people in their final days,” Blakeman told The Post.

“They are saints walking among us, and they represent the absolute best of New York. Yet, Kathy Hochul is actually willing to shut them down, strip away their license, and throw terminal cancer patients out on the street—all to enforce her woke garbage.”

La Sierra University Selects Lesbian to Give Commencement Address

June 25, 2026 NewsHound



This is a generated image, not from the actual graduation


RIVERSIDE, Calif. – On Sunday, June 14 almost 400 La Sierra University graduates celebrated their graduation to a commencement speech by California State Sen. Sabrina Cervantes.

A Democrat, Sabrina Cervantes currently represents the 58th Assembly District, which comprises portions of the Inland Empire. Sabrina was first elected to the State Legislature in 2016, and from 2022-2024, served as Chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. She is also the first openly LGBTQ+ hispanic person to represent Western Riverside County in the Legislature. “Sabrina and her ‘wife’, Courtney, are the proud parents of triplets.”



Other speakers were Sam Leonor (of One Project infamy) and Criston Arthur, the previous provost of Andrews University.

Arthur spoke for the Lavender (LGBTQ+) Graduation on June 5. To the LGBTQ+ Lavenders Arthur said “You are La Sierra,” affirming that the university community is “big enough for all,” and expressing his support for them.

Leonor spoke at the baccalaureate.

The lesbian State Senator Sabrina Cervantes gave the commencement address.

Observations

I wonder what Harold Marshall Sylvester (HMS) Richards (who has a building named after him on LaSierra campus) would say about this lavender graduation? I wonder what he would say about them having a lesbian with a ‘wife’ give the commencement address?

What do you say about it?

MLB warns players against writing Bible verses on their hats during Pride month

 

Giants’ Pride hat controversy: Tolerance does not apply to Christians

Opinion

By Matt Sieger

Published June 15, 2026.

The San Francisco Giants held their annual Pride Night last week to honor the LGBTQ+ community. The celebration included 10 gay couples renewing their wedding vows and a drag queen standing along the first base line.

Four Christian ballplayers on the Giants chose to make a statement about their faith. While all the other players wore a “Pride” hat (a Giants hat with a rainbow patch attached), one pitcher, Sam Hentges, wore his regular Giants cap without the rainbow.

Three other Giants pitchers — Landon Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker — wore the Pride hat, but cited Bible verses next to the rainbow logo.

A Giants logo is displayed over a heart with various LGBTQ colors at Oracle Park.

Hentges added: “It’s just something that I feel like I was forced to support when I don’t morally support it. There wasn’t hatred behind it. I think that’s kind of something that’s misinterpreted. I don’t hate the LGBTQ community.”

The Jerusalem Pride and Tolerance Parade is set to take place on Thursday evening, with participants expected to gather in central Jerusalem before beginning their march toward the city center.

The event marks the opening of Pride Month in Israel and is expected to draw participants, supporters, and observers from across the country.

Police have completed their preparations ahead of the event, deploying officers throughout key areas of the city to manage traffic, ensure public safety, and maintain order along the route.

Authorities said the operation includes both visible and undercover units, with an emphasis on safeguarding participants and minimizing disruption to daily activity.

As part of the arrangements, several main roads in the city are expected to be temporarily closed or restricted during the march, with alternative routes recommended for drivers. Traffic management plans will remain in place for the duration of the event and will be adjusted as needed.

Pride Month Flag Raising Ceremony in Detroit, Michigan

Loma Linda University And Their LGBTQ+ Support Group

May 29, 2026 NewsHound



Loma Linda University is a faith-based institution historically rooted in Seventh-day Adventist Christian teachings. They traditionally affirmed a biblical view of sexuality (male-female marriage, with sexual relations reserved for that context). We still do. But look at them:



Observations

This LGBTQ+ program frames homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and related identities as something deserving a dedicated "safe space" for affirmation, "self-acceptance," coming-out discussions, and navigating "religion and spirituality" conflicts. It positions these identities as neutral or positive variations to be celebrated and supported with institutional resources, staff time, and a designated facilitator (Jana Boyd), while emphasizing confidentiality to shield discussions from outside scrutiny.

Critics (like Fulcrum7, for instance) would argue this represents institutional capture by contemporary gender and sexuality ideology rather than neutral support. And they are right.

Instead of offering compassionate pastoral care or counseling aimed at alignment with the university's professed Christian anthropology (human sexuality as defined by God in the Bible), it normalizes behaviors and identities that many religious traditions, including conservative Christianity / Adventism, view as disordered or sinful (Leviticus 18:22).

By providing an official platform for "sharing common experiences" and "increasing understanding" around these topics, the group risks functioning as an echo chamber that reinforces confusion, discourages repentance or desistance (especially concerning for students and those with gender dysphoria), and pressures the broader campus community to affirm contested claims about identity.

The "not a counseling or therapy group" disclaimer is telling — it avoids professional accountability while still addressing deep psychological and spiritual matters. In a religious university setting, resources might be better directed toward biblical counseling, addiction recovery, anxiety/depression support, or family strengthening in line with historic biblical truth, rather than subsidizing identity-based activism that conflicts with Adventism’s biblical teaching on human sexuality.

Much of our contemporary culture sees inclusion as the ultimate virtue and exclusion the ultimate vice. Equality is the new moral righteousness of ideologically-captured (former) SDA institutions. So how do we see this? We see this as another example of church institutions quietly shifting from their founding principles toward secular progressive orthodoxy under the banner of "inclusion."

To put it in street lingo, ‘They gone.’

****

“Yet from the days of your fathers You have gone away from My ordinances And have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” Says the Lord of hosts. “But you said, ‘In what way shall we return?’ (Malachi 3:7).
