On June 1st, LEGO joined other multi-billion dollar companies such as Disney in targeting children with LGBTQ propaganda. On that date, LEGO released a new set called “Everyone is Awesome.” The LEGO set consists of dolls in all colors of the LGBTQ rainbow plus light blue, white and pink to represent transgender people separately, and brown and black to include people of color.
The dolls are “genderless” to “express individuality while remaining ambiguous”. The purple doll is supposed to represent a drag queen, “a clear nod to all the great drag queens out there”, according to the designer. The set comes with a sort of rainbow background, in the same colors as the dolls, to reinforce the LGBTQ message.
A petition was organized by a group called Citizen Go to protest the sale of this propaganda. (You can sign here) The petition has garnered over 44K signatures so far, but has been completely ignored by LEGO. Citizen Go is asking concerned citizens to call LEGO directly to increase the pressure. Please go here for suggestions on how to participate in this phone calling campaign.
LGBTQ propaganda aimed at our children is everywhere. We are living through a vast psychological conditioning experiment whose results are crystal clear. Much human behavior is malleable based on early influences, and that includes the willingness to engage in aberrant sexual behavior.
LGBTQ Propaganda Works and You Need to be Concerned
The official line on LGBTQ identity is that you were “born that way.” People can’t help “who they love.” You “discover” your identity at some point, and then you should embrace that identity and live as “authentically” as possible. Pro-LGBTQ messaging simply reduces bullying and makes those who were “gay anyway” feel better about themselves. This is the basis of the pro-LGBTQ “Christian” movement. God made people LGBTQ. God is love, so out of love, we must not only accept their behavior but even celebrate it. To question the “love” that forms the basis of same-sex relationships, in fact, is to question love in general. Who wants to oppose “love?” Especially if, for various in-born and/or deeply ingrained developmental reasons, this is the only way that LGBTQ persons can truly experience “intimacy.” These two articles from the site Public Orthodoxy explain such points of view, albeit couched in a lot of “academic-speak.”

If the “born this way” idea was right, then we would expect the tendency towards LGBTQ behaviors would be consistent over time – irrespective of society’s attitudes. That is absolutely not the case, especially for younger people and minorities. As you can see from the chart below, the percentage of the population identifying as LGBTQ is increasing overall with the biggest effects in certain minority groups:
Below are a few statistics to help put the above chart in perspective. Among the young, the situation is even worse than you might imagine:
According to Gallup, the number of people identifying as LGBTQ is rising with each generation. The number grew from 2 percent or less of those born before 1965 to 9.1 percent of Millennials. That has since spiked to 15.9 percent of Generation Z (born since 1997).- In a 2018 survey, more than 1 in 18 women (5.56%) from the ages of 18 to 34 identified as bisexual. A decade earlier, that number was 1 in 65. In the survey, there were more than twice as many young female bisexuals as there were young lesbians, gay men and bisexual men combined. In the survey, 25% of young black women identified as lesbian or bisexual.
- Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare at less than 0.1 percent of the population. The condition mostly afflicted males starting in early childhood. Since the media began hyping transgenderism in 2013, the phenomenon has exploded. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD) is driven largely by social-media and found mostly in white, affluent young girls. One researcher labeled it the “new anorexia.” ROGD is so pervasive that today whole groups of female friends from middle schools to colleges across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until coming under the sway of so-called trans “influencers.”

Clearly, LGBTQ propaganda aimed at children is having a profound, generational effect on our society. The more we normalize and encourage LGBTQ behaviors, the more young people will engage in them. Discovering one’s “sexual identify” often involves choices and temptations that harm the young and the vulnerable. Rather than protecting our kids from such influences, we are increasingly throwing them to the corporate wolves.
In the United States, unlike in Hungary or Russia, religious conservatives simply do not have the political power to pass laws protecting children from pro-LGBTQ propaganda. The political process is lost to us right now, as neither party is willing to take on the LGBTQ lobby. In fact, most churches are not even willing to do so. All we currently have is our ability to decide which companies we are willing to support with our money, and which we are not. We still have the power of the purse, and we need to use it for all that it is worth.
Please sign the LEGO petition and call LEGO to register your protest against this blatant propaganda. Then please cancel Netflix, Disney+ (see above bisexual scene from Disney’s ‘The Owl House’ about a young girl trying to become a witch), and any other media that is normalizing perversion in the minds of your children. Like never before, we must carefully monitor what our children watch, how they play, and with whom they interact online.

As the Church teaches, our Lord is patient and long suffering, if He wasn’t I wouldn’t be posting this comment today.
The Lord is long suffering because he knows who will repent and who will not. Woe to those who persist in their unrepentance, for the Lord’s justice and judgement will catch up with them. We sometimes forget that besides being perfect Love, the Lord is also perfect Justice.
It is very worthwhile reading this short article on a Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist who asserts that transgenderism is a mental disorder that merits treatment.

Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental Disorder;’ Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’
By Michael W. Chapman | November 26, 2020 | 9:34am EST
This article was first published on June 21, 2015.
(CNSNews.com) — Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.
Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recent commentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who suffer a “disorder of ‘assumption’” – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically.

He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”
While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”
“This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea of sex misalignment is simply mistaken – it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological outcomes.”
The transgendered person’s disorder, said Dr. McHugh, is in the person’s “assumption” that they are different than the physical reality of their body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature. It is a disorder similar to a “dangerously thin” person suffering anorexia who looks in the mirror and thinks they are “overweight,” said McHugh.
This assumption, that one’s gender is only in the mind regardless of anatomical reality, has led some transgendered people to push for social acceptance and affirmation of their own subjective “personal truth,” said Dr. McHugh. As a result, some states – California, New Jersey, and Massachusetts – have passed laws barring psychiatrists, “even with parental permission, from striving to restore natural gender feelings to a transgender minor,” he said.
The pro-transgender advocates do not want to know, said McHugh, that studies show between 70% and 80% of children who express transgender feelings “spontaneously lose those feelings” over time. Also, for those who had sexual reassignment surgery, most said they were “satisfied” with the operation “but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn’t have the surgery.”
“And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs,” said Dr. McHugh.
The former Johns Hopkins chief of psychiatry also warned against enabling or encouraging certain subgroups of the transgendered, such as young people “susceptible to suggestion from ‘everything is normal’ sex education,” and the schools’ “diversity counselors” who, like “cult leaders,” may “encourage these young people to distance themselves from their families and offer advice on rebutting arguments against having transgender surgery.”
Dr. McHugh also reported that there are “misguided doctors” who, working with very young children who seem to imitate the opposite sex, will administer “puberty-delaying hormones to render later sex-change surgeries less onerous – even though the drugs stunt the children’s growth and risk causing sterility.”
Such action comes “close to child abuse,” said Dr. McHugh, given that close to 80% of those kids will “abandon their confusion and grow naturally into adult life if untreated ….”
“’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,” said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”
