The John-Henry Westen Show - Pride Month - manipulating society, church and your children

00:00:00.000 June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but our radically anti-Christian culture has 0.95

00:00:06.100 dubbed it Pride Month. A month to take pride in an activity, not in persons. It's not pride about

00:00:12.400 love. It's pride about sexual activity. It's pride in distorting God-ordained marriage between one

00:00:18.580 man and one woman with a counterfeit. Listen, no one is condemning loving relationships between two

00:00:24.960 men or two women. When it turns sexual is what this is all about. God has ordained or approved 0.69

00:00:33.100 only one exercise of the sexual powers, namely inside the marital union. So why are Catholics 1.00

00:00:40.500 focusing on homosexuality right now and not on masturbation or polygamy or bestiality? Well, 0.99

00:00:46.860 it's not us. The culture is pushing Pride Month. The culture is ramming this down the throats of

00:00:54.220 children, not even respecting religious freedom. So in this episode, we're going to take a look

00:01:00.180 at the latest insanity going on in America and unfortunately in the church as well around

00:01:05.100 homosexuality. We've got a list for you of the most homosexuality promoting bishops in America. 0.80

00:01:10.900 One of them caught on video doing a pride blessing. Joe Biden's latest moves to push the LGBT agenda

00:01:17.920 across the globe and children's shows selling it to toddlers. We're also featuring the best prelates

00:01:25.420 and laity standing up for the fight for the truth, despite the cost. So stay tuned.

00:01:32.360 Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son

00:01:55.500 and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. In the last decade, we have gone a long way toward total societal

00:02:02.280 rejection of marriage as God ordained it. Homosexual so-called marriage is legal in most of the world 0.99

00:02:09.220 and in the USA. Nearly 70% now support homosexual marriage, according to the latest polls.

00:02:17.260 U.S. President Joe Biden, who claims to be Catholic, formally recognized LGBTQ Pride Month.

00:02:23.400 The Biden proclamation dared to mention our Lord in the traditional manner of giving the date while

00:02:30.020 at the same time encouraging Americans to celebrate sin. After telling Americans to, quote,

00:02:36.420 wave their flags of pride high, proclaiming June LGBT Pride Month, Biden uses the traditional rendering

00:02:43.340 of the date as this first day of June in the year of our Lord, 2021, end quote. In a fact sheet for

00:02:52.360 Pride Month, put out by the Biden administration, they note that they have been pushing homosexuality

00:02:57.640 around the world and also ensured U.S. embassies around the world were flying the pride flag.

00:03:04.880 Now, this Biden diktat spared no exceptions, apparently including the U.S. embassy at the Vatican.

00:03:12.440 Tweeting a photo of the pride flag hanging from the balcony of its building in Rome,

00:03:17.900 the representative of the U.S. embassy to the Vatican wrote, and I quote,

00:03:22.780 the U.S. embassy to the Holy See celebrates Pride Month with the pride flag on display during the month of June.

00:03:29.680 The United States respects the dignity and equality of LGBTQI plus people. LGBTQI plus rights are human rights, end quote.

00:03:40.000 And what comes of such huge government pressure to promote the LGBT agenda?

00:03:46.040 The pushing of it on children. There are at least 13 children's TV shows pushing the LGBT agenda on children. 0.93

00:03:54.340 Homosexual activist group GLAAD has spent years lobbying Hollywood studios to increase the representation of LGBTQ characters in various programming.

00:04:04.920 The major TV networks, including Nickelodeon, PBS, Cartoon Network, and others, have joined that effort.

00:04:12.380 Now, nearly every TV series animated or live action has added gay characters.

00:04:19.560 The 13 TV shows and characters pushing the LGBTQ agenda include

00:04:24.660 Scooby-Doo, that's from Warner Brothers Cartoon Network,

00:04:28.860 She-Ra and the Princess of Power by DreamWorks,

00:04:31.680 SpongeBob SquarePants by Nickelodeon,

00:04:34.820 DuckTales by Disney,

00:04:36.600 My Little Pony Discovery Family,

00:04:39.500 Arthur from PBS,

00:04:41.140 Adventure Time for Cartoon Network,

00:04:43.720 Andy Mack from the Disney Channel,

00:04:46.080 The Loud House from Nickelodeon,

00:04:48.540 Clarence from the Cartoon Network,

00:04:50.720 Steven Universe from the Cartoon Network,

00:04:53.200 even Blue's Clues from Nickelodeon,

00:04:55.640 and Star vs. the Forces of Evil from Disney XD.

00:04:59.660 And we're not talking just subtle promotion with the characters in the background.

00:05:06.780 Have a look at this,

00:05:07.980 the classic children's cartoon Blue's Clues featuring a drag queen pride parade sing-along.

00:05:15.620 Yes, indeed, it's Blue's Clues.

00:05:19.420 Take a look.

00:05:23.480 Hey Blue, look at all these families!

00:05:26.660 Families!

00:05:27.660 Hi families!

00:05:29.160 It's time for a pride parade!

00:05:31.720 Families marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!

00:05:35.640 Families marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!

00:05:39.380 This family has two mommies, 0.99

00:05:41.680 they love each other so proudly,

00:05:43.560 and they all go marching in the big parade!

00:05:47.980 Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!

00:05:52.980 Families marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah!

00:05:57.100 This family has two daddies,

00:05:59.640 they love each other so proudly,

00:06:01.540 and they all go marching in the big parade!

00:06:06.160 Come on, friends!

00:06:07.680 Families marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah!

00:06:11.500 Families marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah!

00:06:15.120 These babas are non-binary, 1.00

00:06:17.660 they love each other so proudly,

00:06:19.540 and they all go marching in the big parade!

00:06:25.620 Families marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah!

00:06:29.660 Families marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah!

00:06:33.720 Trans members of this family all love each other so proudly,

00:06:37.540 and they all go marching in the big parade!

00:06:42.120 Come join the fun!

00:06:43.620 Wow!

00:06:44.680 Thanks, Blue!

00:06:45.980 Happy Pride Month!

00:06:52.340 That was not a parody.

00:06:55.560 That's official Blue's Clues.

00:06:57.980 That show featured Nina West,

00:07:00.380 a popular drag queen,

00:07:02.460 in the role of the cartoon drag queen 0.96

00:07:04.720 leading all the other queer animals in song. 1.00

00:07:08.500 The song went,

00:07:09.260 This family has two mommies, 0.99

00:07:11.380 they love each other so proudly,

00:07:12.720 and they all go marching in the big parade.

00:07:16.140 The Blue's Clues creators took pains with this one.

00:07:20.220 Every variation of queer flag is represented

00:07:23.040 and paraded around by little animals.

00:07:26.740 A hijab-wearing owl is shown proudly waving the rainbow flag.

00:07:31.740 And if you look very closely,

00:07:34.140 you'll notice the Black Lives Matter power first symbol

00:07:37.040 depicted on the microphone of the drag queen character.

00:07:41.260 And it's not only children's television

00:07:43.580 that is targeting your children with the LGBTQ agenda.

00:07:48.700 Children's cereals in the grocery store are in on it too.

00:07:53.200 In an article on LifeSite by Tony Perkins

00:07:56.160 of the Family Research Council,

00:07:57.240 you'll learn that Kellogg's has a special cereal box

00:08:00.880 out for Pride Month called Together with Pride.

00:08:03.820 The cereal is made of rainbow, heart-shaped pieces,

00:08:07.560 tastes like fruit,

00:08:08.620 and is covered in edible glitter.

00:08:11.340 Kellogg's is donating $3 from every box purchased

00:08:14.700 to the extreme LGBT group GLAAD,

00:08:17.540 which is out to recruit and confuse your children.

00:08:21.660 But in reality,

00:08:22.760 how can you blame the secular culture

00:08:25.120 for doing what they are doing

00:08:26.540 when the Church has allowed the confusion

00:08:29.200 and even encouraged it?

00:08:31.680 From Pope Francis on down,

00:08:34.400 in the last eight years,

00:08:35.800 there has been utter confusion

00:08:37.740 on the teaching of the Church on these matters.

00:08:41.040 From Pope Francis's Who Am I to Judge?

00:08:43.760 to his recent comments on film

00:08:46.240 supportive of homosexual civil unions,

00:08:48.580 he has left confusion.

00:08:50.340 His support last week

00:08:52.880 for German Cardinal Reinhard Marx

00:08:54.780 is another example.

00:08:56.500 The Pope refused to accept

00:08:58.520 Marx's resignation last week,

00:09:00.800 despite the fact that Cardinal Marx

00:09:02.580 has led the way

00:09:03.560 on the German Church-blessing

00:09:05.740 homosexual unions 0.78

00:09:07.280 in direct contravention

00:09:08.820 to the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith,

00:09:11.020 saying that that could never be done.

00:09:13.180 And have a look at the damage

00:09:15.540 that this confusion unleashes.

00:09:18.180 Just this month,

00:09:19.300 the USA's best-known 0.51

00:09:21.580 homosexuality-promoting priest,

00:09:23.720 Father James Martin, 0.89

00:09:25.240 the same Father James Martin

00:09:27.000 who the Pope asked to sit

00:09:29.440 as a consulter

00:09:30.300 on the Vatican Council

00:09:31.360 for Social Communications,

00:09:32.600 the same Father James Martin

00:09:33.940 who the Pope asked to speak

00:09:35.580 at the Vatican's World Meeting of Families,

00:09:37.360 and the same Father Martin

00:09:38.800 that the Pope met with

00:09:40.060 in private audience

00:09:41.340 with photos and videos

00:09:42.700 so all the world could see

00:09:44.540 the Pope backing Father Martin.

00:09:47.240 Watch this video

00:09:49.140 where Father Martin

00:09:50.380 encourages Catholics

00:09:51.540 to celebrate 0.83

00:09:52.440 homosexual Pride Month.

00:09:53.640 Can Catholics celebrate Pride Month

00:09:58.080 when the LGBTQ community

00:10:00.180 marks its place in society?

00:10:02.060 Especially since pride

00:10:03.240 is, after all,

00:10:04.080 one of the seven deadly sins?

00:10:05.760 Well, first of all,

00:10:06.700 remember that there are

00:10:07.520 two definitions of pride.

00:10:09.420 The first is satisfaction

00:10:10.620 that comes from

00:10:11.440 your own accomplishments,

00:10:12.280 which can morph into vanity,

00:10:14.020 which is bad.

00:10:15.100 But the second kind of pride

00:10:16.480 is a consciousness

00:10:17.280 of your own dignity.

00:10:18.920 And that's closer

00:10:19.920 to what Pride Month represents,

00:10:21.620 a celebration of the human dignity

00:10:23.720 of a group of people

00:10:25.160 who have been for so long

00:10:26.360 treated like dirt.

00:10:27.900 And for the religious person,

00:10:29.160 it's a celebration of them

00:10:30.420 as beloved children of God.

00:10:32.740 It's especially important

00:10:34.080 for churches to celebrate pride

00:10:35.820 since a great deal

00:10:36.960 of the rejection

00:10:37.720 and even violence

00:10:38.700 that the LGBTQ community

00:10:40.700 has faced

00:10:41.460 has been motivated by religion,

00:10:43.220 or at least what people

00:10:43.920 think religion teaches.

00:10:45.540 The Catechism of the Catholic Church

00:10:47.320 asks us to treat LGBTQ people 1.00

00:10:49.600 with respect, compassion,

00:10:50.920 and sensitivity.

00:10:52.040 And participating in pride events

00:10:53.400 or at least supporting

00:10:54.280 our LGBTQ friends

00:10:55.920 is one way to do this.

00:10:57.880 And just because

00:10:58.420 you celebrate pride

00:10:59.300 doesn't mean you have to agree

00:11:00.220 with what every video,

00:11:01.340 every article,

00:11:01.900 or even every float

00:11:02.840 in a parade has to say.

00:11:04.700 It's more about supporting

00:11:05.740 the fundamental human rights

00:11:07.100 of this community,

00:11:08.240 the right to live in safety,

00:11:09.800 the right to be treated as equals,

00:11:11.520 and the right to be fully welcomed

00:11:12.880 into society.

00:11:14.360 Besides, complaints

00:11:15.200 about the use of the word pride

00:11:16.540 don't seem to happen

00:11:17.420 in other situations.

00:11:18.340 People say,

00:11:19.260 I'm proud to be Catholic

00:11:20.160 or I'm proud to be an American,

00:11:21.760 and no one objects to it

00:11:23.080 or says that it's vanity.

00:11:24.820 Pride is not about vanity,

00:11:26.580 but human dignity.

00:11:28.300 Maybe the best way

00:11:29.220 to think about pride

00:11:30.140 is to imagine what you'd say

00:11:31.440 to a young person

00:11:32.360 who finally summoned up

00:11:33.820 the courage to tell you

00:11:34.840 that they were LGBTQ.

00:11:36.600 You know that God created them,

00:11:38.560 you know that God loves them,

00:11:39.760 and you know that God wants them

00:11:40.960 to accept who they are.

00:11:42.680 So you would probably say,

00:11:44.020 I am so proud of you

00:11:45.160 for being able to say that.

00:11:46.360 That's the kind of pride

00:11:47.700 that we celebrate this month.

00:11:49.340 So happy pride.

00:11:52.280 And if that's not bad enough,

00:11:54.640 watch this sitting U.S. bishop 0.99

00:11:57.180 give a homosexual blessing. 0.96

00:11:59.420 Lexington, Kentucky Bishop John Stowe 0.91

00:12:02.740 joined a virtual pride blessing event

00:12:06.280 in early June.

00:12:07.540 The event was hosted

00:12:08.660 by the heretical pro-LGBT organization

00:12:11.420 Dignity USA.

00:12:13.120 Watch for yourself.

00:12:14.000 May God, the source of life and love,

00:12:19.020 fill you with the joy

00:12:19.960 of knowing your great dignity

00:12:21.380 and worth as God's child,

00:12:23.960 who was created in love

00:12:25.220 and filled with blessings

00:12:26.580 from the first moment

00:12:27.980 of your existence.

00:12:30.040 May God, who sustains us all in life,

00:12:33.120 continue to walk with you

00:12:34.340 and share in your joys and sorrows

00:12:36.280 while calling you

00:12:37.640 to something ever greater.

00:12:40.060 May God bless your capacity

00:12:41.620 to love and be loved

00:12:42.940 and to share that divine presence

00:12:45.340 with a broken and struggling world.

00:12:47.760 May God Almighty give you his peace

00:12:50.000 in the name of the Father

00:12:51.620 and of the Son

00:12:52.920 and of the Holy Spirit.

00:12:58.700 Unfortunately, Bishop Stowe

00:13:00.120 is only the tip of the iceberg.

00:13:02.560 And I hate to say it,

00:13:03.540 but one of the best things

00:13:04.700 about Pope Francis

00:13:05.480 is that dissidents in the Church

00:13:07.260 are outing themselves.

00:13:09.160 Those who, under Popes 0.98

00:13:10.360 John Paul II

00:13:11.140 and Benedict XVI,

00:13:12.520 remained quiet and hidden,

00:13:14.380 are now out of the closet

00:13:15.800 with their LGBT support.

00:13:18.600 Fourteen U.S. Catholic bishops,

00:13:20.780 one of them a cardinal,

00:13:22.360 have added their names

00:13:23.940 to a public statement

00:13:25.400 in partnership

00:13:26.260 with a pro-homosexual advocacy group,

00:13:28.860 the Tyler Clemente Foundation,

00:13:30.880 in support of young people

00:13:32.140 identifying themselves

00:13:33.320 as LGBT,

00:13:35.180 telling them that

00:13:35.920 God is on your side.

00:13:38.580 It is actually a gift

00:13:40.160 to be able to know

00:13:41.700 who these bishops are

00:13:43.960 that betray the faith.

00:13:45.720 And so here's the list.

00:13:48.360 Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin,

00:13:51.200 Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey,

00:13:53.500 Archbishop John C. Wester,

00:13:55.840 Archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico,

00:13:58.340 Bishop Stephen Beigler,

00:13:59.960 Bishop of Cheyenne in Wyoming,

00:14:02.140 Bishop Robert McElroy,

00:14:04.160 Bishop of San Diego, California,

00:14:06.620 Bishop John P. Dolan,

00:14:08.240 the Auxiliary Bishop in San Diego,

00:14:11.020 Bishop Joseph R. Copaz,

00:14:13.520 Bishop of Jackson, Mississippi,

00:14:15.940 Bishop Alberto Rojas,

00:14:18.280 Bishop of San Bernardino, California,

00:14:20.720 Bishop Oscar A. Solis,

00:14:23.040 Bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah,

00:14:25.480 Bishop John Stowe,

00:14:26.880 Bishop of Lexington, Kentucky,

00:14:29.280 Bishop Anthony B. Taylor,

00:14:30.780 Bishop of Little Rock, Arkansas,

00:14:33.200 Bishop Edward Weisingerber,

00:14:35.660 Bishop of Tucson, Arizona.

00:14:38.000 And then, those are the 11 sitting bishops.

00:14:40.680 There's three retired bishops on the list,

00:14:42.920 including Bishop Thomas Gumbleton

00:14:44.680 from the Archdiocese of Detroit,

00:14:47.480 Bishop Dennis Madden

00:14:48.900 from the Archdiocese of Baltimore,

00:14:50.820 and Bishop Ricardo Ramirez

00:14:53.400 from the Diocese of La Cruces in New Mexico.

00:14:57.300 Of course, it is not only U.S. bishops,

00:15:00.840 but it's only there where we have found such a handy listing.

00:15:05.520 If we look to Canada, for instance,

00:15:07.420 there's Hamilton, Ontario Bishop Douglas Crosby,

00:15:09.880 who's gone so far as to support gay pride flags

00:15:13.400 being flown at Catholic schools.

00:15:14.860 And even more than that,

00:15:16.040 and even worse than that,

00:15:17.360 he's also forbidden local parish priests

00:15:20.620 from opposing the matter from the pulpit.

00:15:24.580 These are not loving, caring bishops. 0.99

00:15:27.800 They are cowards who love the adulation of the world 0.98

00:15:31.120 more than they care for the souls of the faithful. 0.99

00:15:34.300 If they were shepherds

00:15:35.920 after Christ's own sacred heart,

00:15:38.260 they would lovingly call those

00:15:40.200 tempted with sexual sin of any kind, 0.97

00:15:42.400 including temptations to homosexual sexual activity,

00:15:45.380 to appeal to Christ for help to avoid temptation 0.61

00:15:47.740 and remain chaste despite temptation.

00:15:50.880 They would not be popular for it.

00:15:53.700 They would likely be misunderstood

00:15:55.040 and perhaps even called haters and bigots,

00:15:57.580 but they would be followers of Christ,

00:16:00.220 the good shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep.

00:16:03.680 Christ counseled the leaders in the church

00:16:06.420 that when they see that the world hates them,

00:16:09.080 to know that it hated him first.

00:16:11.100 That's why, my dear friends,

00:16:13.880 we have to take a stand.

00:16:16.060 This is being pushed on our children.

00:16:18.960 These betraying prelates,

00:16:20.860 these wolves in sheep's clothing, 0.89

00:16:22.560 are leading our children astray.

00:16:24.920 The esteemed Catholic University of Notre Dame

00:16:27.620 has officially dubbed June to be Pride Month.

00:16:31.920 But this agenda is not only aimed at our adult children,

00:16:35.160 it's pursuing our little children too.

00:16:37.220 Here, check out this video of a teacher in a Catholic school

00:16:41.640 trying to do a full indoctrination of grade one children,

00:16:44.560 that's five-year-olds.

00:16:45.600 Hi, this is Paolo,

00:16:49.440 and this is my classroom, the Rainbow Room.

00:16:52.900 I'm going to show you

00:16:54.080 the miracle of the Rainbow Room.

00:16:56.760 I'm not going to play the rest of it.

00:17:00.100 Go check out the full story about the atrocity

00:17:02.940 at LifeSite News for more.

00:17:05.560 However, I want you to notice a few things.

00:17:08.600 This grade one teacher in the Toronto, Ontario,

00:17:11.860 Catholic School Board

00:17:12.720 is indoctrinating Catholic children 0.99

00:17:14.780 against the Catholic faith blatantly.

00:17:17.620 And he's not stopped by Cardinal Archbishop of Toronto,

00:17:21.040 Thomas Collins.

00:17:21.740 Notice he has placed a sacrilegious image

00:17:24.960 of Our Lady of Czestochowa

00:17:26.260 with a rainbow halo

00:17:28.000 in the background under the cross.

00:17:30.340 This teacher revealed in a June 1st tweet

00:17:33.540 the kind of pro-homosexual conversations

00:17:36.000 he has with his Catholic students.

00:17:38.800 And this is from his tweet.

00:17:40.360 He said he was talking about

00:17:41.800 this morning in my grade one classroom

00:17:43.880 waiting for the live stream.

00:17:45.460 The student says,

00:17:46.420 I know what pride means.

00:17:48.220 The teacher says, tell me.

00:17:49.480 The student says, it means others 0.99

00:17:52.100 who are lesbian, who are gay. 0.97

00:17:54.180 The teacher responds very good.

00:17:55.920 It also means us.

00:17:57.260 Some of our students in this classroom,

00:17:59.180 some of our family members

00:18:00.320 are lesbian or gay.

00:18:02.200 You know, these are our children 1.00

00:18:04.420 being brainwashed,

00:18:05.920 being presented with a false Catholicism

00:18:08.520 in a Catholic school,

00:18:10.340 which can lead our children

00:18:12.440 to the loss of eternal life.

00:18:14.480 And the Cardinal refuses to act?

00:18:16.820 This is why we must act.

00:18:20.500 And some are doing just that.

00:18:22.760 Courageous priests have spoken out publicly.

00:18:25.520 Check this out from Father Mark Goring

00:18:27.060 reacting to Catholic schools 0.66

00:18:29.300 flying the gay pride flag.

00:18:33.100 Children are very good

00:18:35.100 at picking up on things. 0.97

00:18:37.700 They're not stupid. 0.97

00:18:39.560 You can tell them that 0.98

00:18:40.760 that little flag represents

00:18:42.520 inclusivity and not bullying people,

00:18:46.220 but they know

00:18:47.660 or they'll figure out

00:18:50.420 that that flag represents

00:18:53.720 a whole lot more than that.

00:18:56.320 I'm already hearing stories.

00:18:59.100 Children,

00:19:00.600 as young as grade one,

00:19:03.740 the first grade,

00:19:05.940 coming home,

00:19:06.980 announcing that they're having questions,

00:19:10.360 they're wondering

00:19:11.220 about their sexuality.

00:19:14.140 First grade,

00:19:15.920 is that what you send

00:19:17.160 your kids to school

00:19:18.320 to become preoccupied with?

00:19:21.380 To start questioning?

00:19:23.800 What letter in the alphabet soup

00:19:26.080 fits them best?

00:19:28.080 So,

00:19:28.740 the obvious thing is

00:19:30.480 if you want

00:19:31.480 your children

00:19:33.060 to be preserved

00:19:35.560 from the ideologies

00:19:37.680 of the world,

00:19:39.480 you need to find

00:19:40.680 an alternative.

00:19:41.520 But I wanted to show you

00:19:45.600 courage from laymen, too.

00:19:47.860 One Toronto Catholic 0.73

00:19:49.140 School Board trustee,

00:19:50.300 Mike Delgrande,

00:19:51.460 tried to defend

00:19:52.440 Catholic teaching

00:19:53.420 in the school board,

00:19:55.020 in the school board meetings,

00:19:57.120 and for it,

00:19:57.860 he was found in breach

00:19:59.020 of the board code of conduct.

00:20:01.220 He is fighting it in court,

00:20:02.960 and we at LifeSite

00:20:03.860 have a life funder

00:20:05.180 to support him.

00:20:06.480 Two other Catholic

00:20:07.500 School Board trustees

00:20:08.400 have publicly resigned

00:20:09.720 in protest of the decision

00:20:11.240 of their Catholic board

00:20:12.480 to fly the gay pride flag.

00:20:15.020 We must stand up

00:20:16.880 and demand of our bishops

00:20:18.680 that they adhere

00:20:19.540 to the one true faith

00:20:20.680 and support these courageous Catholics

00:20:23.100 who are taking a stand.

00:20:25.100 In Washington, D.C. last week,

00:20:27.100 several individuals

00:20:28.020 who lived a homosexual lifestyle 1.00

00:20:29.760 give public testimony

00:20:31.060 about the possibility of change

00:20:32.840 and finding happiness in Christ.

00:20:35.240 Have a look.

00:20:35.740 Many, like us, have changed.

00:20:40.620 We left LGBTQ because we wanted to, 1.00

00:20:43.620 and others join us every day.

00:20:46.520 Homosexuality doesn't have 1.00

00:20:47.540 to last a lifetime.

00:20:48.940 All of us here prove

00:20:50.360 that change is possible.

00:20:52.140 Today, I stand before you

00:20:53.500 a fully changed man,

00:20:54.980 a faithful husband

00:20:55.840 of almost 10 years,

00:20:57.220 and a father of three beautiful girls.

00:20:59.780 I'm standing here

00:21:00.760 for the future of this country,

00:21:02.500 a future in which my daughters,

00:21:05.740 their future spouses,

00:21:07.860 their children,

00:21:09.000 and their grandchildren

00:21:10.220 will have the right

00:21:11.720 to publicly go to public schools

00:21:13.880 without worrying

00:21:15.500 about being sexually indoctrinated

00:21:18.020 to believe that their daddy,

00:21:20.200 their grandfather, 0.84

00:21:21.860 was a hateful bigot

00:21:23.020 for simply choosing to heal

00:21:25.160 from his childhood trauma

00:21:26.520 and being willing

00:21:28.120 to stand before you today

00:21:30.120 fighting for people's rights

00:21:32.180 to be able to do the same.

00:21:35.300 And finally,

00:21:36.660 here is a teacher in Virginia

00:21:38.380 giving public testimony

00:21:39.660 he knew may cost him his job,

00:21:42.060 but he does it anyway.

00:21:43.400 Watch.

00:21:45.620 I love all of my students,

00:21:47.280 but I will never lie to them

00:21:48.380 regardless of the consequences.

00:21:50.300 I'm a teacher,

00:21:51.000 but I serve God first,

00:21:51.960 and I will not affirm

00:21:52.760 that a biological boy

00:21:54.080 can be a girl

00:21:54.800 and vice versa

00:21:55.780 because it's against my religion,

00:21:57.320 it's lying to a child,

00:21:58.560 it's abuse to a child,

00:21:59.900 and it's sinning against our God.

00:22:02.180 That was teacher Tanner Cross,

00:22:05.760 who testified at a school board hearing

00:22:08.060 and was suspended

00:22:09.440 for defending his faith

00:22:10.960 and God-ordained sexuality.

00:22:13.660 We must stand up for our children.

00:22:16.520 We can do it too.

00:22:17.940 And we often can have a major impact.

00:22:20.500 Remember a few weeks ago

00:22:21.560 when the Bishop of La Crosse

00:22:23.000 said publicly he was removing

00:22:24.660 our beloved Father James Altman

00:22:28.100 from his parish?

00:22:28.820 We held a fundraiser

00:22:30.520 looking for $100,000

00:22:31.720 and raised over $300,000 for him.

00:22:34.280 We had over 90,000 people

00:22:36.100 sign a petition

00:22:36.840 and delivered it to the diocese.

00:22:38.920 And I encouraged some of you

00:22:40.400 to call the diocese,

00:22:41.760 and phones were busy

00:22:43.240 all week over there.

00:22:44.860 And in fact, today,

00:22:46.320 Father Altman is still

00:22:47.820 at the parish saying Mass.

00:22:49.760 So we can stand up.

00:22:51.640 We can have an effect.

00:22:53.400 It's time.

00:22:54.740 It's for our children's future,

00:22:56.920 for our faith,

00:22:58.140 and in honor of Christ

00:22:59.480 and his sacred heart,

00:23:01.640 which we celebrate

00:23:02.760 this month of June.

00:23:05.040 For LifeSite News,

00:23:06.180 this is John Henry Weston.

00:23:07.600 And may God bless you.

00:23:10.400 Hi, this is John Henry Weston,

00:23:11.980 the co-founder and editor-in-chief

00:23:13.500 of LifeSite News.

00:23:14.880 I'm coming to you today

00:23:16.240 because we want to be sure

00:23:18.520 that we are communicating clearly

00:23:20.380 with you, our loyal followers.

00:23:22.240 Things are really heating up,

00:23:24.940 as I'm sure you can see.

00:23:26.360 Christians, conservative truth-tellers 0.98

00:23:28.540 are being targeted,

00:23:30.460 are being banned

00:23:31.340 from social media platforms

00:23:32.640 like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,

00:23:34.580 and Instagram

00:23:35.320 at an alarmingly fast rate.

00:23:38.620 They are attempting to suppress

00:23:39.960 any narrative

00:23:41.080 that does not fit

00:23:42.120 that of the mainstream media.

00:23:44.060 We knew this day would come.

00:23:46.580 We have been warning everyone

00:23:48.240 who would listen

00:23:48.960 and attempting to build up

00:23:50.720 alternative platforms

00:23:51.960 to continue to reach you.

00:23:54.600 We have established ourselves

00:23:56.060 on all sorts of platforms

00:23:57.400 I'm going to explain in a minute,

00:23:58.840 but the most important thing to do

00:24:00.380 is come direct

00:24:01.140 to LifeSiteNews.com

00:24:03.320 because there we will always be.

00:24:06.120 But we've also established ourselves

00:24:07.780 on platforms like Parler

00:24:09.480 and MeWe,

00:24:10.620 and our videos can be found

00:24:12.040 on Rumble as well.

00:24:13.620 We would love to see each of you

00:24:15.840 on those platforms too,

00:24:17.000 as they are not censoring

00:24:18.600 or suppressing the truth

00:24:19.900 that we are sharing

00:24:20.720 every single day.

00:24:22.640 More than these alternative

00:24:24.380 social media platforms,

00:24:25.720 we highly encourage you

00:24:27.040 to subscribe

00:24:27.760 to our email newsletter.

00:24:29.560 We have really built up

00:24:31.360 a large list of loyal readers

00:24:33.040 on our email marketing platform,

00:24:34.520 and we have prepared

00:24:36.100 several backup plans for,

00:24:38.660 well,

00:24:39.400 I want to say if,

00:24:40.280 but it's really when,

00:24:41.640 we are removed

00:24:42.700 from our current platform as well.

00:24:45.180 Additionally,

00:24:46.080 I really encourage you,

00:24:47.460 as I said before,

00:24:48.460 to make it a regular habit

00:24:49.980 to go directly

00:24:51.040 to LifeSiteNews.com.

00:24:52.620 Make it your homepage.

00:24:54.620 While all of these

00:24:56.040 different platforms

00:24:56.840 are an excellent way

00:24:58.320 to curate your news,

00:24:59.820 going directly to our website

00:25:01.420 means that you will

00:25:02.480 never encounter

00:25:03.300 any censorship

00:25:04.220 or sudden loss

00:25:05.580 of LifeSite News reporting.

00:25:07.300 Here's the thing.

00:25:09.060 We will never stop

00:25:10.760 sharing the truth.

00:25:12.080 We founded this organization

00:25:13.520 with the mission

00:25:14.340 to be the life,

00:25:15.940 family,

00:25:16.260 and culture source

00:25:17.240 for men and women

00:25:18.360 who seek to know the truth.

00:25:20.700 We have established

00:25:21.760 a track record

00:25:22.840 of honest reports,

00:25:24.220 and this will never stop,

00:25:26.100 even with censorship

00:25:27.940 happening around the globe.

00:25:30.060 Again,

00:25:30.600 I'm encouraging you

00:25:32.180 to join us on Parler,

00:25:33.820 MeWe, Rumble,

00:25:34.740 and on our email list.

00:25:36.380 You can find

00:25:37.200 all the direct links

00:25:38.600 in the description

00:25:39.740 of this video.

00:25:41.300 May God bless you

00:25:42.260 and keep you,

00:25:43.060 and we are so thankful

00:25:44.100 that you've chosen

00:25:44.800 to follow and support
