As is becoming increasing clear recently, the sexual revolution is no longer limited to what people do in the “privacy of their own bedroom” or even what is being taught in the classroom. It is now advancing aggressively into our own homes, threatening to separate children from their parents. The leading edge of this campaign […]
This week, at a conference in D.C., I had dinner with Walt Heyer. You may recognize his name, as he was one of the first brave souls to speak out about “detransitioning.” For almost eight years, Walt, born a boy, lived as a transgender “woman” – complete with surgeries and hormones.

By late this afternoon, we had confirmation that the bill has moved out of committee with a new number, HB 4014, but the earliest it will come up is now Monday. This tells […]
Yesterday’s hearing on the Counseling Ban bill should be a wake-up call to families.

Dear Friend of the Family, At 3:30 Friday afternoon I received a call from a Fox25 reporter asking if she could come by and interview me about the Counseling Ban legislation within the next hour.

I just received confirmation last night that the MA House has recessed from its final session of the calendar year WITHOUT taking up the Bathroom Bill. This means we will continue to have our safety and privacy in bathrooms, locker rooms, and other single sex facilities protected under existing law. This is a huge win, […]
Thank you to the many of you who have contacted your legislators, whether by phone call or email, in opposition to the Bathroom Bill.
