In Matthew 19, the Pharisees, always trying to trap Jesus, cornered Him on the subject of marriage and sexuality. He replied, “Have you never read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” This week, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its majority opinion on women’s sports and the definition of sex, spent 45 pages explaining that “females and males have inherent physical differences relevant to athletic performance.” What Jesus said in one sentence took the highest court in the land 45 pages to explain.

California is going to war with President Donald Trump and his administration over gender transition procedures for children. Rady Children’s Hospital reached an agreement with California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) on Wednesday to continue conducting gender transition procedures on children, in defiance of the president’s orders.
As we mark the 11th anniversary of Obergefell, Americans are no longer arguing over predictions; they are judging outcomes. They have watched the promises of marriage redefinition play out in their schools, businesses, athletic competitions, churches, and families. Increasingly, the American people are rendering their own verdict. The great experiment of redefining marriage and reinventing the family has produced its results. Americans are no longer judging promises — they are judging outcomes. The debate over the Sexual Revolution is no longer about its promises. It is about its consequences.
In the face of public backlash and devastating consumer boycotts, many corporate entities have backed away from the public celebration of Pride Month over the past two years, but some corporate forces still haven’t learned the lesson. On Thursday night, one group of businessmen were given a lesson when the players on the baseball team that they own and operate rebelled against a planned Pride Night event.
A high school wrestler and her mother are suing Washington officials after the wrestler unknowingly competed against a biological male athlete, whom she says sexually assaulted her during the match. It is also alleged that officials then violated the law by refusing to properly report the assault to police.
“Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?” is the script many parents have heard when they seek help regarding a child who is convinced his true self is not aligned with his biological sex. This statement sends children and their families down a road of hormone blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions. But what if this has very little to do with an organic phenomenon of gender confusion but is the result of a deliberate campaign of brainwashing as part of a Marxist agenda?
Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio, as part of a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ), confirmed it will not provide pediatric transgender procedures for two decades in its six medical centers. The settlement is part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into transgender procedures in health care, and Cleveland Clinic is the second major health system to comply. Cleveland Clinic has also agreed to pay $308,000 to resolve allegations of false billings. The false billings were submitted to obtain insurance coverage for pediatric transgender procedures.
Political movements have long understood that language shapes culture. From the French Revolution to Marxist movements in Europe and Communist regimes in Asia, ideological leaders have sought to advance their agendas not only through political power but through linguistic change.
“Our people need teaching that is clear and confident about God’s creation of us as male and female: our bodies are good gifts from God. Our identity is found in Jesus Christ and not our feelings, not our desires,” Closson said. “Of course, pastorally we approach these situations with genuine compassion. Individuals with gender confusion —they’re experiencing real pain and loneliness. This is an opportunity for pastors and church leaders to walk with people with grace and truth.”
For years, June brought a predictable wave of corporate logos, advertising campaigns, themed merchandise, and public celebrations. Parents learned to pay closer attention to commercials in family programming, sports fans grew accustomed to Pride-themed uniforms and promotions, and many city streets became venues for often indecent displays at Pride parades. This year is noticeably different. The symbols are not gone, but they are far less prominent. It’s premature to say Pride has fallen, but it is fair to say the appeal of Pride Month has faded.
Support for the legal validity of same-sex “marriage” has taken a similar tumble over the past few years as well. The number of Americans who believed such unions are valid hit a high of 71 percent in 2022 and 2023. But that number slid markedly to 65 percent this year, an overall 6-point drop. Yet, when you ask conservative Americans, we see a remarkable 18-point drop in support. Support from independents has dropped to somewhere in between.
At the heart of Pride Month and Pride celebrations throughout the year is pride. Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.
The second Trump administration, however, has pumped the brakes on the Biden administration’s “whole-of-government” promotion of the LGBT agenda with full-fledged skepticism. Instead, the Trump administration has prioritized blocking gender transition procedures for minors, protecting women’s sports, and restoring Title IX to its original purpose. In 2025, President Trump issued no proclamation celebrating Pride Month, and he has refrained from doing so this year as well.
After two years of internal review, the BMA’s fierce opposition to the Cass Review has shifted to conceding that the evidence base for gender transitioning was weak, uncertain, and the “first, do no harm” principle should have guided decisions more carefully from the start—just as Cass’s report suggested.
In a move that could reshape how public services, businesses, and charities across Great Britain operate, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has released an updated Code of Practice. This guidance firmly anchors the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 to biological reality, drawing a clear line after years of legal wrangling and institutional hesitation. “This Code of Practice confirms what should never have been in doubt: the law has always required the protection of single-sex spaces. Public bodies, including the NHS, have had a legal duty to comply, yet many have failed to do so, choosing instead to hide behind ‘awaiting guidance’ while pursuing unlawful policies.”
The people in charge in Australia are, as a position of official policy, pretending to not know what it means to be human as male or female. This is shameful. This is the age in which we live, and of course, this problem is not unique to Australia. Too many countries are playing right along with them. But right now, the lovely Land Down Under is facing that global embarrassment.
“It is shameful that L.A. County disrespected Jeffery’s simple request over a controversial, ideological flag,” Burt declared. “Every person deserves to know that their religious beliefs will be respected in their workplace and reasonable adjustments will be made to ensure they are not required to break their moral codes for a job.”
“The Division will stand for the principle that it is fundamentally unfair to coerce, treat differently, persecute, or penalize an individual or organization for acting in accord with its religious or moral beliefs when those actions constitute protected conduct under Federal law,” the HHS official said. “Many providers of health care and human services are motivated by their religious beliefs or moral convictions, and they should not be driven out of Federal programs because of those convictions.”
As the month of June arrives each year, I find myself bracing mentally for the flood of rainbow flags on display, announcements of parades that celebrate perversion and ungodly lifestyles. However, this year feels somewhat different compared to the last few years. It almost seems as if there is a subtle reversal happening towards traditional views, family values, and even Biblical truth.
“A law written to protect women has been used to punish a woman for creating a space for women. That is what today’s judgment means in practice,” said Robert Clarke, Director of Advocacy for ADF International. “The addition of ‘gender identity’ to the Sex Discrimination Act has been used to undermine the most basic conception of what a woman is. The need for single-sex spaces is recognised in international human rights law. It must be recognised in Australian law too, and if the courts will not say so, then Parliament must.”
Clearly, the hospital realized federal and state prosecutors had it over a barrel. So, like any self-interested business, it finally decided to cut its losses and reach the best deal that it could. This entailed significant cooperation with authorities, which the DOJ publicly recognized. Over the course of a five-year investigation, the hospital turned over more than five million documents to investigators.
By redefining sex to include gender identity, sexual orientation, and related characteristics, the bill would prohibit insurers from denying or limiting coverage for procedures tied to gender transition if those procedures are covered in other contexts. That means puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries would be treated as protected medical services.
Organizers plan to construct a temporary “Pride City,” complete with hotels, beach venues, performances, and continuous entertainment designed to operate day and night. To the natural eye, this is simply another cultural event. But to the spiritually discerning, the location is not incidental, it is prophetic. The Dead Sea region is the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah, five cities destroyed by God due to their persistent rebellion and moral corruption (Genesis 19).
Camille Kiefel, a woman who once believed she was “non-binary,” won a settlement against two therapists who referred her for a double mastectomy as a “gender affirming” medical procedure.
A paper published last month by medical watchdog group Do No Harm warns state officials and health insurance providers that “Healthcare Providers May Skirt Coding Rules to Get Paid for Child Sex Changes,” as the title puts it. The document identifies potential ways that medical providers can falsify insurance codes to ensure payment for gender transition procedures to evade state legislation, and it also identifies organizations advising providers to do just that.
The resolution rejects the “humanistic, globalist ideologies of the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices... The nuclear family is God’s perfect design for humanity and is aligned with the long-held traditional values of Tennessee.”
The Women’s Sports Union and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International have warned 10 U.K. sports bodies to stop allowing men to compete in women’s sports, in light of a recent Scotland Supreme Court ruling.
What Jenner needs is a worldview that makes sense logically and is in line with reality. And that is found by making the truth of God’s Word the foundation for one’s worldview! In a fallen world, there will be people who struggle with identity, but the answer is not a sinful lifestyle in opposition to truth. The answer is an identity grounded in the truth that every person is made either male or female in the image of God to glorify him: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:27).
For a national broadcaster, these relationships raised obvious concerns from the outset, and they should not have been allowed to continue for as long as they did. The ABC was paying to be part of organisations that also assessed and ranked it, in some cases linking that to its editorial output. This is a clear conflict and not acceptable for a publicly funded broadcaster.
Florida could sue the Miss America organization for false advertising if it continues allowing castrated boys to compete in its pageants, state Attorney General James Uthmeier advised the company in a letter Friday.
A 2025 law that banned non-official flags did not include a penalty for violations. In response, Boise had passed a loophole resolution to make the LGBTQ flag an official flag. Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel’s founder and chairman, explained that the bill, which passed with a House vote of 58-11 and a Senate vote of 26-8, closed that loophole. “Idaho’s law strictly defines ‘official’ government expression via flags and closes a loophole whereby municipalities could embrace a contentious ideology as government expression,” Staver said.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Chiles marks the third significant loss for the state of Colorado in cases involving religious liberty and LGBT-related claims. In 2018, the Court sided with baker Jack Phillips in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, finding evidence of hostility toward his religious beliefs. In 2023, the Court held that web designer Lorie Smith could not be compelled to create expressive content that violated her convictions. Now, the Court has sided with Kaley Chiles.
“But the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country,” the court’s opinion stated. “It reflects instead a judgment that every American possesses an inalienable right to think and speak freely, and a faith in the free marketplace of ideas as the best means for discovering truth... any law that suppresses speech based on viewpoint represents an ‘egregious’ assault on both of those commitments.”
