This week, MFI has been criss-crossing the Commonwealth, speaking out for family values. Tuesday night, I had the distinct pleasure of addressing a gathering of conservative leaders and activists Andrew at Lakeside in Pittsfield, MA. Our friends at Lakeside Christian Camp & Conference Center graciously hosted this MFI update dinner at their beautiful waterfront facility […]
With the Senate set to vote on the Transgender Bathroom Bill this week, Massachusetts Family Institute will hold a press conference Wednesday asking legislators to protect privacy rights and oppose the bill. Tuesday, May 10, 2016 WOBURN — Citizens concerned about privacy and safety in public bathrooms and locker rooms will be holding a press […]
My son and I were just settling into our work at the MassHOPE homeschool convention last Friday when I received a phone call informing me that the Bathroom Bill was being voted out of committee. This brings the bill (actually two of them, a Senate version and a House version) one step closer to being […]
The past two weeks in MA have witnessed the explosion of transgender power and hubris onto the political stage. First, at a LGBT networking event in Boston, Governor Charlie Baker was booed off the stage by outraged transgender activists demanding that he come out in favor of a bill that would, among other things, allow men to […]
I am often asked the question, “Who is pushing the Bathroom Bill?” Not surprisingly, most people are bewildered that this is now a major national issue and are shocked that people are getting fired for saying things that were universally accepted all of five minutes ago.

Yesterday, a federal appeals court in Virginia ruled that Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education, must now be interpreted to include gender identity. This essentially mandates a school policy as radical as the infamous transgender “guidelines” proposed here in MA by our state Board of Education. Although this case concerns a […]
I’m sure many of you have read about or seen the television clips about last night’s disgraceful behavior by radical LGBT activists as Governor Charlie Baker was giving a speech to Boston Spirit Magazine’s LGBT Executive Networking Night. This speaks volumes of the bullies behind this movement. Needless to say, if any of us had […]
Common sense can get you in a lot of trouble these days! Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina is under a lot of pressure from activists on the left — all because he signed a bill into law that protects women and children from being forced to share bathrooms with men. As I discussed on […]
For years, we have been warning lawmakers here in Massachusetts that creating special rights for cross-gender bathroom and locker room use, ie. The Bathroom Bill, will threaten the privacy and safety of women. Despite the obvious implications of such a policy, advocates for the Bathroom Bill continue to deploy the lie that there are no […]
