An Honest Headline

Posted on | March 13, 2015 | 57 Comments

Canadian gay activist S. Bear Bergman (@sbearbergman) writes an article at the Huffington Post with this headline:

I Have Come to Indoctrinate
Your Children Into My LGBTQ Agenda
(And I’m Not a Bit Sorry)

. . . I am here to tell you: All that time I said I wasn’t indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie. . . . That is absolutely my goal. I want to make your children like people like me . . .
That is our job: to encourage people, especially children, to think differently about a subject than they do now.

Bergman is reportedly a “transman” (female-to-male transsexual) whose spouse, J. Wallace, is also a female-to-male transsexual. If either of them tomorrow declared themselves to be the resurrection of Napoleon Bonaparte, this would not surprise me because what else do we expect? They’re Canadians. Insanity rivals hockey as the Canadian national pastime, and far be it from me to interfere with the rights of insane Canadian lesbians to be as crazy as their fellow Canadians.

However, I do not believe my children should be required to “like” Canadian lesbians. In fact, hating Canada is a traditional American pastime rivaled only by (a) baseball, (b) football and (c) hating France.

When I went to check out Bergman’s timeline, s/he was ranting at Jeff Allen and, when I pointed out her Canadianism, she huffed: “I’m a US citizen, born in New York.” So she is a transnational transgender, an expatriate ex-woman and — for all we know — the resurrection of Napoleon Bonaparte. The question is whether we want these lunatics acting as “educators” teaching our children (or Canadian children or anybody’s children) what to think. Do you suppose that any school system in an urban liberal community would invite Republicans, NRA activists or conservative Christians to give presentations to young students to encourage the kids to “like” economic freedom, Second Amendment rights and traditional morality? Of course not.

“Tolerance” and “diversity” are always a one-way street or, to be more accurate, a highway that is proverbially “paved with good intentions,” and leading toward an infernal destination:

Bergman, like many today, know no shame (Zep. 3:5). They parade what is shameful (Rom. 1:27) around in the open and expose young impressionable minds to it (Matt. 18:6). . . .

You can read the rest of that. Welcome to the 21st century, where anyone who believes the Bible is now a Thought Criminal.

“Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. . . . He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don’t listen to him. Remember that — do not listen.”
The Exorcist (1973)

“Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans 1:29-32 (KJV)

    Oh, but they must! Not lezzie Canucks, specifically, but all homosexuals/transsexuals/oddsexuals of any nationality, color, religion or lack thereof, dialect, whatever. The only persons that people may be allowed to dislike are white heterosexual males whose gender identity matches their genitals.

    If you do not like — not just tolerate, but affirmatively like — all people other than white heterosexual males, you are guilty of a Hate Crime!

    This one floors me:

    Bergman is reportedly a “transman” (female-to-male transsexual) whose spouse, J. Wallace, is also a female-to-male transsexual.

    OK, so let me get this straight: When she was a she and not a he — ignoring the fact that she will always be a she, regardless of whatever pseudomedical quackery is performed on her — she wanted to copulate with someone who claims to be a man. Does this not mean that she is heterosexual?

    Not knowing, or particularly caring, in what order these two women had their “transitioning,” they were at some point lesbians, then, as the first one transitioned, heterosexuals, and now they are male queers. Only a liberal could see that and not realize, “Man, those two are f’ed up in the head!”

    Haven’t you heard? Morality is passé… It’s only about “consent” nowadays!

  7. Dana
    March 13th, 2015 @ 2:44 pm

    Depends on whose consent it is. Beyond copulation itself, consent is demanded in social and economic life.

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

    Have all insane asylums in the lands of ‘LGBT Progress’ been closed down as of this writing?

    Those who previously resided, who believed they were Zoltan of the Planet Nebular, Napoleon Bonaparte, or McGruff the Crime Dog, are no longer considered insane.

    Why should the de-stigmatization of those who reject their own identity be limited to gender issues alone?

    No one who has been paying attention for the last three decades is even remotely surprised that the mask is coming off these “people.” I’m ashamed to say many, many years ago, my parents said these things would happen. I nodded politely and went my way thinking that they were buffoons.

    Speaking as a Canadian I would just like to say (a) The vast majority of us are not actually this crazy, we’re merely too polite, pragmatic and/or lazy to get into pointless arguments about it with those who are, and (b) we have no delusions about being important enough for our Southern neighbours to hate us. 🙂

    On an episode of Kitchen Crashers this morning, Alison Victoria, the hostess, picked two women who were obviously a lesbian couple for the free kitchen remodel. One was clearly the butch, but, during the demolition phase, all of the women stood back while a man took a sledgehammer and destroyed a countertop and cabinet, while Miss Victoria same, “Sometimes you just need a man.” The two lezzies were standing behind her; wonder what hey thought about that. 🙂
